1. Synthesis planning
Pytrik Reidsma

2. Surveys Ethiopia Dec 2016, before harvest
Yield measurements? Check TAMASA comparisons
Assistance WUR? Bancha/Marloes/Joao
Ghana
1st year: Nkoranza major season, Aug 2016
2nd year: Savelugu, Dec 2016; Nkoranza minor (nov 2016) and/or major season (Aug 2017)

3. Demonstrations
Ghana
Minor season Nkoranza, Major season Savelugu (autumn 2016)
1 village: 4 cultivars (local, OPV, drought, hybrid)
1 village: fertilizer * plant density
At least one year, if possible two
Ethiopia
Not density, fertilizer important (micronutrients not economical), soil acidity (lime)
Check data analysis, decide
Bako beginning June (fertilizer, new hybrids, lime if av)
Adami Tulu end June (hybrids, water saving)

4. Dissemination Ghana, similar in Ethiopia Early 2017
No farmer leaflets, radio programme better
Extension leaflets
Building blocks
Research results (surveys, demos)
Example farmers
15 steps to maize production (plant density, fertilizers)
Video shows: accesagriculture
Make budget to check feasibility

5. Policy roundtables & dissemination
Overview existing policy interventions
Prepare draft policy brief (Felix/Assefa + input others)
Get input from policy makers & other stakeholders before meeting (Felix/Assefa + Samuel, Clement / Kindie)
Organize meeting (+ WUR participant if possible)
Ghana
Sept/Oct 2017
Ethiopia

6. Actions (1 of 3) National data analysis (Michiel)
Include info from prev season (interactions with NPK)
Solve Ghana data issues & start analysis
Local data analysis (Marloes)
Interactions planting data & NPK
Quick analysis Ethiopia for input demos (Marloes, Kindie)

7. Actions (2 of 3 Local data collection (Marloes with Samuel, Kindie)
Simplify survey (crop management & yield)
Add questions based on data analysis
Check TAMASA yield measurements & responses -> decide to do measurements in Ethiopia
Demonstrations
Make budget (Kindie, Samuel)
Start soon... (Kindie)
Calculate gross margins farm practice & trials (collect)
Dissemination
Make budget to check feasibility (Samuel, Kindie)

8. Actions (3 of 3) Theory of Change Roel: finalize draft next week
All: comment in week afterwards
Roel: finalize and send to DEGRP within a month
Policy roundtables
Provide overview policies (Felix, Assefa)
Skype Roel with Assefa
Budget overview
After referendum June, decide on allocation of extra budget if available, based on budgets for surveys, demos, dissemination, policy workshops & needed flights (Pytrik, Martin)

9. Data analysis & publications
Michiel: National analysis 1) framework & Tanzania 2) Ethiopia, 3) Ghana (finalize end 2016)
Marloes: Local analysis 1) Ghana, 2) Ethiopia, or one comparison?
Samuel & Kindie: surveys & demos (soil, rainfall, planting date)
Joao, Bancha: additional sub-national analysis Ethiopia
Roel: Policy paper (African Journal of Crop Science, Outlook on Agriculture, NJAS?), compare current policies & recommendations OR Ghana/Ethiopia vs EU)
Integrated paper combining: national, local, demos, policy workshops

10. Next meeting Ethiopia April 2017 Early to prepare rest of project
Start or minor season
Plan with Doodle end of 2016
Addis / Adami Tulu
