Innovation Platform?
Innovation platform
Innovation Platform (IP) approach facilitate the rapid dissemination and adoption of best proven technologies of cowpea
IP is an articulated process between different actors for a common interest and equitable/gender sensitive access to resources, markets and value added (income).
A member of CGIAR consortium www.iita.org
Innovation Platform?
IP actors work together, share knowledge and create value (added value) distributed with equity and gender sensitivity
IP are bringing together the different and relevant actors to facilitate knowledge & information exchange

VALUE CHAIN
A member of CGIAR consortium www.iita.org
Objectives
1. Inventory the functional platforms in locality selected in each country of the project
2. Identify constraints and opportunities of actors in innovation platforms in cowpea value chains
3. Assess the needs of actors in terms of capacity of actors and sustainability of the innovation platforms within Vc

Methodology
Projects in sites: - Project "Feed The Future," WASP project,
DONATA/ CORAF, Africa Rising in West Africa , WAAPP project, AGRA project and SARD-SC were explored
- Focus group has been used to collect the information
Analytical tools- Checklist was developed to understand the
structure, functionality and performance of IPs/FO existing in the project action areas

Key results
Identification of IPs in porject sites in each country
Countries Existing IP
Mali 3 (Koutiala, Nafaga and Kolonigue)
Senegal 1 (national level)
Ghana 2 (district level)
Nigeria 3 (Kano, Katsina Sokoto at each regional level) and 1( Gaya community level)

Gouvernance and Performance
Supporting main activitiesVerbal agreement between actors
A member of CGIAR consortium www.iita.org
Main Constraints
•Poor funding of activities
•Weak knowledge of IP
•Lack of capacities, knowledge and equal
understanding of the approach
•Needs of innovations
A member of CGIAR consortium www.iita.org
Opportunities
• High demand of the product
• Willingness to collaborate
• Availability to media to share information
• favorable institutionnal environnement to the
development and dissemination of innovations
A member of CGIAR consortium www.iita.org
Key challenges
1. Establishing a clear and understand of the principles of IP
2. Reciprocal learning and knowledge exchange3. Strengthening capacities to facilitate interaction
processes4. Sustainability of Ips
To guarantee collective ownership and the active participation of the different stakeholder of IP
