1. Differentiation processes: the surveyed regions facing transition
Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

2. Objectives Based on: What are the main issues to be raised regarding:
phase 2 results [regional and chain analysis, HH surveys]
Our discussions on: integration-differentiation; vulnerability
What are the main issues to be raised regarding:
The absorption capacity of agriculture
The main determining factors of differentiation [land access, water access, type of market access, etc]
Marginalization processes [both regional and HH levels]
Existing exit options [diversification of rural activities, development of waged labor, migrations and livelihood options for migrants]
=> How to usefully feed the local/international debate?

3. Adjustments Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

4. Variables Clarifications
Economically active population: range from 15 to 64 year-old
Resident: short term migration included, long term migration excluded
Underestimation of transfer: Impossible to complete the data, but useful to make comments on this underestimation
Auto provision of seeds not taken into account
But auto-consumption taken into account at the average market price
Cultivated areas: each team identifies the best way to estimate the areas (sold production, yields, total production…)
Sales of agricultural products: refers to the usual type of commercialization (eg. Paddy vs white rice): if on-farm hulling the value is included in the selling price – if off-farm hulling its cost is deducted from the selling value
Transformation: only taken into account when the nature of the product has changed (e.g. cheese, olive oil…)

5. Variables Clarifications / 2
Equipment depreciation: when necessary (heavy equipments), teams could take them into account if they have the relevant information, but have to show results with and without depreciation
Education: 0= do not write and read; 1= write and read; then classes according to each team up to 5 (i.e. 6 classes).
Livestock: use the “short way” => sales + auto-consumption at market price - breeding expenditures => breeding account to catch livestock value (only for cattle)

6. Back to the indicators 4 axes
Core variables + national additional variables
Same scale for scoring 1 => 3
but local definition of each level of vulnerability
Last points of clarification for discussion: diversification / dependency ratio / marketing / land tenure

7. Next steps: deadlines and dissemination Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

8. Deadlines and countdown

The more you can… for mid-July + 1 week = Monday, July 21 = 4 weeks from the end of the workshop
Part 1 and 3 on hold
Part 2: the core of the analysis is the target
Chapter 2 on regional characteristics
Chapter 3 on H1 and H3:
integration-differentiation (minimum from Chapter 1)
Diversification processes
Chapter 4: engage discussion on vulnerability (depending of work on indicators)

10. Final deadline
July weeks = Monday, August 18 = 8 weeks from the end of the workshop
=> report, annexes, database
Feedbacks:
Between July 21 and August 4: first feedback
Between August 18 and September 8: feedback on general report
Monday, September 22: final version
Tuesday, September 30: closing date

11. After the national report… the “needed” and the possible
Dissemination at the national level
=> Option of a “package presentation”: national report + first insights of the general synthesis => using the national debate to feed the final synthesis
Dissemination at the international level
Final workshop => seminar => conference
Special panel sessions: ABCDE 2009, GDN 2009, GTDF
Publications: special journal issue, book, policy notes
