Value Chains Mapping Impact of 1 st phase, ID Theme 3 IDOs and key research outputs Derek Baker 11 July 2013

Impacts from 1 st phase Key outputs leading to outcomes Impact (at 1 million people yet?) TrackingPartners/comments Clearing HouseVaries with user Best Practice Conference/events Track downloads Conc FW around the tools? Partners? Too passive? Too research-oriented? Better utilised Agric Biodiversity Tools New conceptual thinking Use Better governance, policy Reduced poverty Resilience User selection/targeting Survey-based (people, plants) CRPs Donors Tools (LINK) Tested interventions Data Field guides R4D platforms Capacity development Uptake and use of methods Better governance Enhanced entry and market engagement Business indicators Metrics for inclusiveness and sustainability of trading mechanism Canvass the Learning Alliance Private firms Donors Univ.

Moving to IDOs Story telling around the tools being developed Value Chain Conceptual Framework as a starting point? Understanding of “complex livelihood realities” Enhanced observable technical items (e.g. Agric biodiversity) “Moving down the Impact Pathway” Use of under-utilised data Scaling up and out – esp via other CRPs, also with donors and private sector Gender-relevant evidence Moving the analytic tools through to Impact Assessment Uptake/Best practice based on synthesis products (incl. rationalised terminology)? Improved methods Use of tools by commercial actors Increased access to/use of capital and risk management instruments Consequences of, mitigation of, contribution to industrial dynamics Introducing knowledge platforms
