7. Propositions for improvement of the FCD page 8: need to be open, no species added. But it is not clear its usefulness. Page 9 (table): List of constraints should not be open but match the constraints in the context scoring Need to add boxes for recording the scoring: pages 2, 3, The secondary functions are not included page 10: the pairwise of constraints does not come into the spreadsheet. Instead there is pairwise of functions.

8. Area of Intervention  Limited access to quality seed and fertilizer, high labor cost, not organized market, pest and diseases, land tenure system Work with the HumidTropics R4D platform to organize farmers into groups/cooperatives for collective marketing. - Training Expand pest resistant beans and soybean varieties tested last season: - more farmers coverage - seed multiplication

9. Area of Intervention  Low productivity of common bean Climbing beans options with source of stakes production: introduction of gliricidia, calliandra or Leucaena (Mushinga) Intermediate measures: using pennisetum/grevillea as stake while waiting for calliandra (quick assessment of cost effectiveness of the two options). - Demonstration plot (very simple and include as many farmers as possible)

10. Planning output 2 Expand pest resistant beans and soybean varieties tested last season: - more farmers coverage Trials (8) in Bushumba: Treatment 1: farmer practice Treatment 2: pest resistant common bean Treatment 3: improved soybean farmer field day (open to other farmers associations) - seed multiplication plot (2)

11. Planning output2 For Mushinga: Climbing beans options Treatment 1: local variety Treatment 2: climbing pest resistant variety + Pennisetum or grevillea with caliandra hedgerows
