Executive Summary

The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) National Consultation

Workshop for Zambia was held on 9 – 10 February 2016 at the Cresta Golfview Hotel in Zambia’s

capital city, Lusaka. The workshop brought together stakeholders from the CGIAR Research Programs

(CRPs), Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, research agencies, academic institutions, donors, NGOs

and the private sector.

The consultative meeting came against the background of the launch of the Second Phase of the CRPs,

focusing on integrated research agendas to more effectively contribute to the objectives and targets set

by the Strategic and Results Framework(SRF) of CGIAR and also to align the CRPs research agenda with

national agricultural priorities in Zambia. The key driver behind the SRF is to bring together the work of

CGIAR Centers and programs in key countries, where CGIAR innovations are expected to reach

millions of people.

Consultation of key stakeholders in Zambia’s agricultural sector was initiated to ensure that the site

integration process will contribute to the country’s agricultural goals.

Deliberations during the highly participatory meeting focused on the following:

a) Understanding Zambia’s agricultural research strategy and what gaps need to be addressed by

CGIAR Centers toward the attainment of the agricultural strategy.

b) The work of various stakeholders including CGIAR Centers in Zambia’s agricultural sector and

how they are contributing to the country’s research and development agenda

c) Steps toward developing a Site Integration Plan built on the national agricultural development

strategy and research and development priorities

d) Understanding Site Integration and CGIAR’s Theory of Change

These deliberations allowed the workshop participants to appreciate the whole concept of site

integration and the new thinking of CGIAR from 2017-2022 under the Second Phase of the CRPs. The

highlights of the Zambia National Agriculture Investment Plan (NAIP) provided a basis for the

discussions and will be key in ensuring the alignment of the research and development priorities to the

Zambia agricultural sector goals.

Key issues identified for site integration included the following:

a) Resource mobilization to drive the site integration process

b) Development of coordination structures to provide strategic direction for site integration

c) Shared vision among CGIAR Centers and national partners

d) Capacity development of national partners and research infrastructure

e) Collaboration mechanisms

f) Alignment of CGIAR research activities to national priorities

g) Identification of research priorities, effective delivery and scaling-out


h) Impactful development initiatives to ensure improved production, food and nutrition security for

smallholder farmers in Zambia.

i) Coordinated and harmonized communications strategy encompassing learning hubs to share

lessons.

Critical next steps were also agreed on during the meeting. These mainly focused on the following

Incorporation of the workshop inputs and agreed actions into the CRP proposal

Implementation of the ideas identified and discussed during the workshop

Feedback on the high level meetings to follow and decisions on Zambia Site Integration.

Developing a plan for site integration and soliciting buy-in

Resource mobilization that will operationalize site integration

Continued engagement by the relevant stakeholders (CGIAR Centers and national partners)

Establishment of coordination structures to drive site integration

Partners to start engaging with each other in current projects and start joint projects

These key issues and priorities identified during the consultation process are expected to contribute

into the Second Phase of CRPs, showing how the CGIAR Centers and national partners will effectively

collaborate in research and development programs aligned to the national strategy.


Objectives of the Workshop

To understand Zambia’s agricultural research and development strategy and plans

To get a common understanding on how various stakeholder groups contribute to the research

and development goals and targets

To agree on basic principles for achieving improved integration

To develop an integration framework as a first step toward a plan to realize the country

research and development goals and targets

To identify key operational elements in the context of an integrated approach

1. Welcome and Introduction – Dr. Kennedy Lweya

Dr. Kennedy Lweya, the CIMMYT seed business development specialist, welcomed the representatives

of the various stakeholders to the workshop. He briefly highlighted the goals of the Site Integration

process and outlined how the consultative process would contribute toward this goal.

2. Objectives of the Meeting and CGIAR Research Program (CRPs) – Dr. Peter

Setimela

Dr. Peter Setimela, CIMMYT’s senior seed systems specialist in southern Africa, set the tone for the

workshop through his opening presentation which focused on providing a background on CGIAR work

vision and mission, and the Site Integration process. CGIAR identified 20 site integration countries:

Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kenya,

Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam and


Zambia. Site integration is to bring the CRPs/centers and their partners within Zambia to work together

as a unit, leading to improved coordination and collaboration among CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs),

national actors and other stakeholders at the national level.

The meeting sought to have deliberations and consultations with partners in Zambia to enable the

alignment of research priorities with the priorities of the Zambian agricultural strategy.

The Site Integration process comes against the global challenge of increasing food production in light of

the ballooning populations and climate change induced droughts that are leading to food insecurity.

CGIAR Centers and partners are working on strategies to increase food production without degrading

the environment.

In addition, the workshop comes against the background of the new strategy endorsed by the CGIAR

Board in April 2015. The strategy will run from 2017 to 2022, mainly focusing on how the CGIAR

Centers can improve agricultural production and ensure food security through harnessing new

opportunities. CGIAR Centers are currently working on new CRPs proposals which will align with the

2017-2022 strategy and focusing on different themes.

3. Official Opening by Permanent Secretary for Agriculture (Zambia) - Moses

Mwale

Mr. Moses Mwale, the director of the Zambia Agricultural Research Institute (ZARI) officially opened

the workshop on behalf of the Zambian Permanent Secretary for Agriculture. He took the opportunity

to thank the organizers for coordinating the meeting and applauded the overwhelming response by

various stakeholders and institutions to send their staff to the meeting. He noted that their presence

was a clear testimony on their commitment to improving the agricultural sector in Zambia.

He highlighted the critical task of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, and research institutions in

Zambia to improve agricultural production in the country. As part of the process of improving food

production, reducing hunger and poverty, he expressed gratitude to CIMMYT and other CGIAR

Centers for initiating programs to support this cause, not only in Zambia, but also in other parts of

Africa.

Mr. Mwale also touched on the process of Site Integration and how he viewed the Strategy and Results

Framework (SRF) strengthening the program of the partners and stakeholders in achieving key

development goals.

In his conclusion, he assured the meeting that the Government of the Republic of Zambia would

continue supporting CGIAR Centers programs that were aligned to the national strategy and create a

conducive environment to enhance food diversification in Zambia.

Mr. Moses Mwale, officially opening the workshop


4. Highlights of the National Agriculture Investment Plan (NAIP) – Mr. Justin

Chuunka

Mr. Justin Chuunka, from the Ministry of Agriculture presented the Zambia National Agriculture

Investment Plan (NAIP), which was developed out of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture

Development Programme (CAADP), an African Union and NEPAD initiative to accelerate growth and

eliminate hunger and reduce poverty among African countries.

NAIP recognizes the critical role of agricultural production as an engine for economic growth. The

NAIP, Chuunka said, seeks to facilitate and support the development of a sustainable, dynamic,

diversified and competitive agricultural sector that ensures food security at the household and national

levels. The NAIP works around six Investment Programs, which include:

1. Sustainable Natural Resources Management

2. Agricultural Production and Productivity Improvement

3. Market Access and Services Development

4. Food and Nutrition Security and Disaster Risk Management

5. Knowledge Support Systems

6. Institutional Strengthening

The presentation provided the critical background needed to understand the priorities of the Zambian

agricultural sector to inform workshop deliberations on activities to be aligned to the NAIP.

5. Stakeholder Discussions: Expectations on Site Integration

Dr. Tendayi Maravanyika from WorldFish, who was the overall workshop facilitator, led the stakeholder

discussions which explored the expectations of the representatives on Site Integration. The participants

were split into four groups: NGOs, private sector, government researchers and CGIAR Centers.

Dr. Maravanyika steered the discussions using the following sequence of questions:

1. What do you want to see from this meeting?

2. What do you want in terms of partnerships with the CGIAR?

3. What has worked well in terms of partnerships with CGIAR and researchers?

4. What has not worked well in terms of partnerships with CGIAR and researchers?

1.2 National Agriculture Research and Extension System (NARES) QUESTIONS DISCUSSIONS

What do you want to see

from this meeting?

Equal partnership from the beginning between the CGIAR and NARES. All

partners involved need to agree on the integration process. This will lead to

attainment of goals

Transparency from all partners on how site integration will be undertaken.

Operating within institutional framework of the existing national institutions

to avoid conflicting with government policies and the goals of the

institutions.

What do you want in terms

of partnerships with the

CGIAR?

Synergies among the partners

Clarity and roles among partners, especially CGIAR

Capacity building in terms of resource mobilization

Joint planning with partners from the beginning

Sharing research outputs

What has worked well in

terms of partnerships with

CGIAR and researchers?

Engagement with CGIAR has led to a realignment of national research

agenda. CGIAR has assisted in shaping the national research agenda

Research institutions have benefitted from capacity building, both long and


short- term. This has led to skills and technology transfer and infrastructure

development.

Grants and resources from CGIAR have supported the research agenda

within research institutions in light of shortfalls in government funding.

Research institutes have benefitted from germplasm exchange with CGIAR.

Most of the germplasm for breeding programs were sourced from CGIAR.

Joint planning in some cases – project formulation and implementation

Roles are clearly defined and there is no conflict of interest between CGIAR

and research institutions.

What has not worked well

in terms of partnerships

with CGIAR and

researchers?

CGIAR sometimes not working within the institutional framework and

policies.

PLENARY DISCUSSIONS:

Regarding the issue of CGIAR not working within institutional framework, the need to respect

organizational structures was cited. CGIAR Centers were sometimes contacting field staff

directly at implementation sites without the knowledge of the national offices.

A question was raised on the research priorities from the research institutions given that the

input from the workshop will be used in developing CRP’s second phase. The research areas

were identified as:

o Postharvest technologies to ensure preservation of harvests

o Scaling-up of processing and value addition technologies

o Food safety with particular focus on Mycotoxins and disease-causing micro-organisms.

o Investing in indigenous varieties to ensure nutrition among communities

o Climate change/ drought tolerant seed varieties and practices

o Foundation seed for indigenous varieties where private sector is not working on

o Small mechanization

Following-up on the presentation on NAIP, there is need to review what progress has been

made and if government is on the right path to achieving the strategy. There was strong

emphasis on the need for the partnerships to align activities to NAIP.


1.3 Government

QUESTIONS DISCUSSIONS


from this meeting?

Draw up concrete programs for collaboration

Provide an input to CGIAR performance – collaborators to identify their

roles

Implementation of agreed and shared ideas

CGIAR to align their programs to national priorities

Develop a platform for knowledge sharing. Cross-country learning from

CGIAR activities in other regions and countries.



CGIAR?

Provide evidence- based research to support policy formulation.

Government requires accurate information based on research to formulate

policies.

Strengthen the partnerships between government and CGIAR

Facilitate resource mobilization

More effective consultations




Collaborative research in the evaluation of technologies.

Financial support to critical need areas at national levels

CGIAR have always managed to bring NARES scientists to share successes

Benefited from the domestication of CGIAR technologies



with CGIAR and

researchers?

Inadequate funding of Government to NARES

CGIAR project priorities may not be adequately synchronized with national

priorities

CGIAR’s lack of acceptance or recognition of local methodologies and

approaches in data collection

Untimely submission of data collected to CGIAR by NARES



A question was raised on how the issue of timely submission of data collected could be

improved: It was noted that there was need for greater commitment from all

stakeholders involved.

Another question was raised on whether it is necessary to involve policy makers in

research teams. The response was that it was unnecessary for policy makers to be

involved. Researchers carry out needs assessments on the ground; problem is identified

and research is conducted. Based on the results, government can make informed

decisions to formulate policies.

Group discussions focusing on the different sectors represented during the meeting.


1.4 Private Sector/ NGOs



from this meeting?

Research and work done rolled out and applied to achieve aims of the

organization.

How does the CGIAR collaborate with government? What partnerships are

forged across various institutions they collaborate with?

Promotion of coordination where all CGIAR research institutes are able to

work together

Efficiency and effectiveness on the use of donors within research products.

Devising of mechanisms to ensure accountability by the partnering

institutions.

What informs the research agenda in CGIAR? Is it publications or aims to

change? Partnering institution would like to see change as a result of the

research initiatives.

Data usage and sharing so that wider groups can utilize it. There is need to

package research findings and results for wider usage and uptake.



CGIAR?

Systems for the identification of clients/ customers for the research

initiatives (Who is the researchers’ customer?) Need to also fully determine

the needs of the clients/ customers and research needs to be properly

targeted.

CGIAR research should solve everyday problems and should not be

academic

Local content is key in research. The research should focus on various

groups such as the private sector, farmers, academic institutions etc.

Research institutes to collaborate closely with local players and should have

role plays and demonstrations of how researches are conducted and how

they can be applied for wider understanding and eventually adoption.

CGIAR Centers should transfer skills to local research institutions. Capacity

building of local partners so that researches can be conducted at the local

level is critical. This ensures that research is more understood and

contextualized.


Strengthening accountability of research institutions by all stakeholders and

partners, e.g. Government and other NGOs. Every stakeholder must hold

the research institutions accountable and all stakeholders, including donors,

should have a voice.

Feedback on failed pilot projects should be communicated well with

adequate explanation on how and why a particular research failed.

Understand each partner’s mandate to bridge the gap and make

complementarity easier.




Transfer of skills between CGIAR and national research institutions. Lesson

sharing and capacity building being implemented.

Participatory research on the ground, particularly collaboration in extension

and research work.

New products/ materials have been made available through research

(evident improvement in seed varieties).



with CGIAR and

researchers?

Poor feedback on research results. Need to improve sharing of results with

other institutions

Little consultation on what needs to be done

Poor technology/ Product transfer to grassroots/ customers who are

supposed to adopt research products

Needs assessments should be conducted before embarking on research to

ensure proper targeting?

CGIAR Centers not leveraging their regional presence – too global. There is

need to localize research institutes.

Do partners share their results/ products? What mechanisms are in place to

ensure that the results are disseminated and not piled on shelves?

Poor cooperation between CGIAR Centers and the private sector. Need to

address gaps that exist between conducting of the research and when

technologies are applied.


PLENARY DISCUSSIONS

CGIAR Centers should fully utilize their regional presence to support work being

conducted by partnering institutions. An example is HarvestPlus who are promoting pro

vitamin A bio-fortified maize. CGIAR Centers can utilize the regional networks to

promote wider uptake of the product

In relation to sharing publications, there is also a need for sharing of databases as well,

particularly universities and research institutes as they may get additional value from

primary data collected within CGIAR projects and programs.

Poor participation by CGIAR Centers in up-scaling of technologies. No

effective monitoring and evaluation of technologies handed over and

implemented by local partners.

Eliab Simpungwe giving feedback on behalf of the CGIAR Centers


6. Highlights of CGIAR/CRP’s Work in Zambia and Integration Needs

Andrew Ward, the Senior Advisor for WorldFish in Zambia presented on the whole philosophy of

integration in light of the 15 Centers under CGIAR and the breaking down of silos, given the different

themes the Centers are working on. His presentation also focused on the complex nature of agricultural

development on the various factors that lead to impact.

He also highlighted how the diversity of different partners in the agricultural sector in Zambia could be

beneficial to site integration and cutting across silos would lead to the creation of cross-thematic

linkages and more effective partnerships. Integration would ultimately capitalize on the expertise within

each institution, Ward concluded.

His presentation also provided a broad outline of what an ideal site integration process entails, covering

such issues as identification of partner needs, planning, and communication, coordination, achieving

impact at scale and resource mobilization.


CGIAR Centers proceeded to give brief presentations about their work. The purpose was to gain an

understanding on their mandates, areas of focus and the work they are implementing in Zambia. The

purpose of the session was to facilitate discussions on the partnership needs and identification of areas

of interest.

The following CGIAR Centers presented:

International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)

International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)

International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF)

International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)

International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)

International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI)

Bioversity

WorldFish

http://www.slideshare.net/secret/JGVZpBNzdIYzFj



Following the presentations by the CGIAR Centers, a plenary session was conducted. The following

were the discussions:

Question: Given the diverse backgrounds and thematic areas from the CGIAR Centers, how

effective is integration going to be?

o Integration will assist in the coordination of programs on the ground. The issue of

coordination has already been identified as an area that has not worked well, for

example, the case of different CGIAR Centers approaching the same farmers with

different uncoordinated activities. Farmers are already working through integrated

systems, therefore there is need for CGIAR Centers to be coordinated to ensure

impact at scale. Evidence for the need for coordination is demonstrated on the ground

and is also an initiative being driven by the CGIAR Consortium Board. The Strategic and

Results Framework has already been developed to guide the integration process.

There is a great need for site integration to capitalize on the opportunity to mainstream

nutrition within all program areas of work.

Site integration’s success will hinge on coordination. Are coordination structures going to be

created to drive the process?

o Steering Committee with all CGIAR Centers is already in place and meets quarterly to

evaluate progress and reports to CGIAR work. Also, it reviews progress on the

Strategic and Results Framework. However, the Steering Committee is composed of the

CGIAR centers- there might be a strong need to include other non-CGIAR members.

7. Site Integration and Project Co-ordination: Desired benefits of CGIAR/CRP's

Site Integration. – Dr. Peter Setimela

Dr. Peter Setimela outlined the steps that CGIAR/CRPS want to take for site integration. He highlighted

the countries that had been selected for site integration: 20 countries globally in Africa, Asia and Latin

America. Countries have been selected on the basis of the number of CGIAR Centers in operation and

their budgetary resources. He also emphasized that the site integration sought to promote greater

effectiveness and efficiency within CGIAR Centers and programs.

The presentation also detailed the expectations of site integration and the key elements for achieving

site integration. These key elements included:

a) Making use of a common set of research sites

b) Sharing CGIAR facilities, infrastructure and equipment

c) Making effective and efficient use of CGIAR staff

d) Achieving greater delivery and scaling of CGIAR research

e) Streamlining policy engagement

Dr Setimela also provided details of the series of steps to be taken toward site integration. Each country

has a Lead Centre coordinating the process, with CIMMYT being Lead Center in Zambia. CIMMYT is

expected to coordinate all other CGIAR Centers in Zambia on the site integration process.


The outputs from the workshop will be incorporated into the CRPs proposal to be submitted on 31

March 2016. This will lead to the roll-out of the Site Integration plans.

8. Presentation and Discussions on Key Points for Site Integration

Andrew Ward led a session to define ideal site integration. The key issues were identified, analyzed and

broadly categorized into the areas of:

Communications

Core Values

Technical Issues

Administration and Management

Resource Mobilization

COMMUNICATIONS CORE VALUES

a) Development of an information hub where

partners can access all agricultural research

information from CGIAR and NARES in

Zambia

b) Regular meetings with smaller working groups

on technical issues

c) Effective communication of scientific advances

d) Development of a single website with calls for

proposals on specific research themes

e) Clear communication and reporting between

partners

f) Development of reflection and learning

platforms

g) Coordination, communication, feedback and

reporting on failure

h) Agreed key communications messages and

development of a coordinated communications

strategy and plan

i) Creation of a key communication hub/

repository

j) Regular meetings/ workshops to share

information and knowledge being generated.

a) CGIAR Centers have to buy-in with resources,

including committed scientists and not to be

driven by the Consortium office

b) One work culture and shared incentives.

c) Shared vision among all partners

d) Establishing trust before we can move ahead

e) Clearly define the role of CGIAR. Should not

compete with NARES but build them up and

be complementary.

f) Genuine commitment to integration and

partnerships

g) Claims of success should be shared. Need to

look into issue of farmers aligning to one

center.

h) Institutional requirements can be complex, e.g.

intellectual property, ownership and

attribution of success

i) Transparency on how things are done

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION TECHNICAL ISSUES

a) Need to realize there is an investment cost to

integration

b) Effectively fundraise for an integrated system

c) Build on current fundraising initiatives, but

there is need to harmonize

a) Pilot joint activities from the outset

b) Identify key learning sites, e.g. villages

c) Integration takes time, need to focus on

specific issues and build links to evolve

understanding

d) Research to understand how and why farmers

change their behavior


ADMINISTRATION

1. Need for a full-time coordinator to oversee site integration

2. Complete integration plan on time with a focus on Zambia’s agricultural research needs

3. Having a director for the site. Could the CGIAR Centers be located together, for example at IITA

4. There should be a Site Integration Coordination Team

5. Joint planning of activities

6. Coordination of activities, e.g. shared calendars

7. Capacity development needs to be harmonized

8. Harmonization, e.g. training is different under IITA and ICRISAT

9. Have relevant partners in place and how to work together. Often, there is a lack of understanding of

working together between research and the private sector

10. A diversity of approaches can be healthy but administrative procedures must be harmonized

11. Inventory of national partners and their capacities to be in place

12. Timespan – should be considered

13. Need clear terms of references for the integration process which are reviewed by CGIAR Centers and

non -CGIAR partners.

14. Continuous monitoring for alignment to NAIP

15. Site Integration activities need to be linked to the CGIAR Theory of Change

16. There should be coordination at a lower level as well – working toward farmer adoption

17. Harmonization of procedures, e.g. engaging partners, reporting, etc.

18. Further analysis required on whether scientists are the best integrators and the need to identify who has

the best integration skills required?

19. Site Integration is a complex issue. There may be a need to use facilitators to drive the process.

Andrew Ward facilitating a discussion on the key issues raised.


9. CGIAR Theory of Change – Dr. Kennedy Lweya

Dr. Kennedy Lweya presented on the CGIAR Theory of Change, outlining how all CGIAR research

programs have a theory of change and associated intermediate development outcomes (IDOs) that

contribute to the overall Strategy and Results Framework (SRF) and System Level Outcomes (SLOs) of

the CGIAR Consortium.

The Strategic and Results Framework seeks to bring the CGIAR Centers to work together. Pilot

countries have been identified to spearhead pilot projects. Successful pilots will be tested with Site

Integration and provide key lessons for replication within other CGIAR Centers.

The SRF has been linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is also aligned to the

government priorities in the countries of operation, Dr Lweya said.

10. Drilling Down into the Issues Identified by Discussion Groups

The participants grouped according to areas of interest or specialty to define key activities around the

broad areas of Communications; Resource Mobilization; Administration and Management; Technical

Issues and Core Values. Below is a summary of the group presentations:

10.1 Communications QUESTIONS DISCUSSIONS

What would a research

knowledge hub look like?

It will take the form of a library or resource center, providing a one-stop

shop for information and knowledge resources from different partners

A system that captures information and data from different partners with

a purpose of wider dissemination and sharing

A virtual collaborative working space to allow more effective working

among partners, e.g. Microsoft SharePoint

How do we coordinate

communications?

Development of detailed Terms of References detailing what is expected.

Identification of focal communications persons from partnering

institutions.

Identification of an overall communications coordinator.

How do we agree what is

effective communication in

Zambia?

Agree on target audiences and how to reach them.

Develop feedback mechanisms on all communications outputs.

Identify key messages and agree on how these will be communicated.

How do we implement

effective and efficient

communications between all

partners?

Conduct a baseline and communications audit

Develop and implement a communications strategy with the following:

o Clearly defined objectives (SMART – Specific, Measurable,

Attainable, Results-oriented and Time-bound)

o Identification of key messages

o Identification of target audiences

o Identification of channels for dissemination

o Products and tools of communication

o Monitoring and evaluation to gauge effectiveness of

communications outputs

How do we report failure?

Through the generation of lessons learned reports

Documentation to generate reports focusing on challenges and

opportunities

Setting up crisis management teams

How do we identify key

communication messages? To be extracted from the objectives of site integration

Extraction of key messages from partners and harmonization

Key messages to be also extracted from the beneficiaries, e.g. farmers

(needs assessments)



It is critical to note that communications activities will not be starting from scratch. There are a lot of

communications strategies already in place within the CGIAR Centers in Zambia. What will be critical is

the harmonization of these strategies for ease of coordination and implementation.

10.2 Resource Mobilization


How do we source funds for

integration (including

facilitators)

Fundraising activities to focus on securing resources for the integration

process (meetings, workshops etc.) and activities on the ground

CGIAR Centers to spearhead fundraising activities in terms of financial

resources and personnel. CGIAR Consortium offices to be involved, also.

How do we build on and

evolve current fundraising?

One source of funding is the CRP funds with proposal under development

Proposal development as an integrated team involving CGIAR Centres,

partners and regional bodies (COMESA, CARDESSA)

Eliciting buy-in of investors

Communication with investors about our work – successes, failures and

lessons learned. This helps shape investors’ investment plans for

agricultural development and research in Zambia.

10.3 Technical Issues

ISSUES DISCUSSIONS

Identifying partner

research needs (e.g.

research in development)

Technical prioritization

Institutional documents on strategies for crop commodities that can help

identify gaps and needs that should be filled

Develop platforms for sharing:

o Strategic plans/ objectives

o Current/ on-going activities/ research activities for both CRPs

and non CRP organizations

o Funding sources for technical work

Map previous research activities

Pilot joint activities from the

outset (learning rather than

planning)

Engage partners/ actors in planning for activities in specific sites without

much delay (once approved)

Joint calendars for implementation of joint projects, e.g. field crop trials,

planting and monitoring visits can be coordinated. This also sends the

message of integration to target beneficiaries

Site integration coordination structures to be highly visible and available at

joint sites/ activities to provide reference to CRP related issues raised by

partners

Timely resource availability in Zambia for joint activities. Site Integration

Leader to be accountable.


Understanding farmer/ client

behavior, change dynamics

and how we can utilize them

(this might be learning sites)

Harmonized socioeconomic studies to counter misinformation by farmers

Improved targeting and approaches. Once data on behaviours is available,

it will guide the process of selecting areas to focus on.

How to establish cross-cutting

technical fora/ working groups Important to maintain the multi-disciplinary approach using common

platforms

Funding is necessary for meetings/ conferences. Adequate planning

therefore necessary to ensure adequate funding for site integration to

succeed.

Diversity of stakeholders is critical as their participations ensures

continuation of activities and maintaining the momentum.

Transparent sharing of calls

for proposals Calls currently posted on various websites, e.g. CGIAR or NARES. Need

top post on other relevant websites.

Need to create email alerts, newsletters for the site integration

Calls should be targeted by specialty or thematic areas. soliciting to

scientists

Convene workshops to identify proposals/ new project ideas/ challenges/

focus area

PLENARY DISCUSSIONS

A question was raised on how partners will handle the issue of over researched areas which do not

yield impact. It was agreed that there will be a need to engage socioeconomists to conduct studies

to document impact, or none of it, of research projects in different parts of the country. Use of the

socioeconomic studies will assist in improving targeting of communities.

10.4 Core Values (How Do We Develop Them?)

ISSUES DISCUSSIONS

Trust

Partnership involves:

Believing in the other partner

An outcome of working relationship

Expectation of honesty

Is acquired/ gained through a working relationship

Ethics (Code of Conduct)

Develop guidelines on how partners behave

Identify similarities and generate a unique way of doing things. Care to

avoid duplications

Negotiation with partners (MOUs)

Address the restriction of how information is shared within the group and

with the public

Ethics on how to interact with farmers and partners

Establish ethical procedures for conducting research, e.g. in nutritional

studies and sharing of photographs.

Commitment/ Buy-in


Select clear expectations and roles among partners

All partners to have an input in proposal generation

Transparency in budgeting etc.

Shared vision and willingness from participants of this meeting

Buy-in from the communities (key drivers of communications strategy)

Shared Vision

Develop a shared Zambia Vision. Activities under this to include

workshops and discussion fora where partners can define the vison and

work toward achieving it

CGIAR Centers to show greater commitment

Develop ethics that define how the Centers work to achieve a shared

vision. Need for awards and recognition for Centers that operate within

defined ethics

This leads to respect, trust, transparency and accountability

10.5 Administration and Management


How do we develop an

integration plan?

This is a long - term process and requires mapping of all organizations,

their activities and target groups

There is also need to identify gaps and core competencies of the partners

involved

Is co-location feasible?

Co-location not feasible given the diverse need of the CGIAR Centers.

Example of HarvestPlus and IITA, where IITA is constructing a campus at

least 12 km away from Lusaka. HarvestPlus requires to be closer to their

partners without the need to commute

A co-funded coordination office would be a viable solution

How would a coordination

office function and how would

it be structures?

It should function as a secretariat with all CGIAR Centers in Zambia

represented.

Communications needs to be an integral part of the secretariat

A knowledge base with all procedures of the CGIAR Centers to be

developed to facilitate learning

How do we harmonize

administration procedures?

Coordination office should review all procedures and develop uniform

procedures to guide operations.

PLENARY DISCUSSIONS

Harmonizing procedures may be complex, particularly for government taking into account legislative

issues where the process could take longer. Working through Memoranda of Understanding

(MOUs) would be a viable option

It will be necessary to have key contact persons within all the partner institutions.


11. Way Forward

Dr. Peter Setimela gave a brief overview of the process going forward. Following the deliberations made

and the input made by the CGIAR Centers and national partners, feedback will be provided to CGIAR

who are already working on the next phase of CRP’s. The inputs from this meeting will be important

for a fully-fledged CRP proposal.

11.1 Critical Next Steps The participants were asked to identify the critical next steps to move the process. The key issues

identified included:

Implementation of the ideas identified and discussed during the workshop

Continued discussions in smaller groups and decide on important issues

Feedback on the high-level meetings to follow and decisions on Zambia Site Integration. Maintain

momentum and keep partners informed on the progress of the site integration process

Developing a communications strategy and embedding it into the Zambian-based CGIAR Centers’

work

Updates on the CRP proposal progress

CGIAR should start preparing their staff (mentally and emotionally) on the site integration program

Develop the plan for site Integration and get buy-in from stakeholders

Resource mobilization that will operationalize site integration

Follow site integration road map

Establish clear Terms of References (ToRs) for people that will be in charge of coordination

Partners to start engaging each other in current projects and start joint projects

Develop and produce proposal and plan with clear steps and timelines

Buy-in from regional/ country representatives/ headquarters

11.3 Workshop Evaluation

The participants were requested to evaluate the workshop proceedings in terms of what they liked or

did not like.

11.3.1 What I Liked About the Workshop

The idea of making sure that research addresses real problems that can influence policy

Limited number of presentations and more participatory discussions. This made the process

highly interactive and all stakeholders were involved. All views were acknowledged

Good atmosphere, very open discussions

Honest feedback and interactions

Flexibility in approach and productivity

Duration of the workshop was adequate

Good facilitation and effective convener

Group discussions effective and provided a chance for all to participate

Time management was fair and flexible

Very detailed discussions

Critical stakeholders within Zambia’s agricultural development sector were represented at the

workshop. This was a new approach in conducting innovation in the presence of many

stakeholders

Adequate information was provided to all participants

Flexibility in time management

Openness in identifying issues that did not work well

Covered issues that will improve approaches toward client/ famer in addressing challenges faced

by farmers


Good background information about CGIAR Centers and their mandates

11.3.2 What I did not like About the Workshop

Partly unstructured. No adequate structure to guide discussions – too open. Need to provide

more guidance for discussions

Beneficiaries (farmers’ representatives) excluded from the process

Some slides not readable and contained too much information. Need to streamline

presentations

Presentations not shared before the workshop

Documents supporting thoughts behind site integration needed to be widely shared

Groups were not well set. Mixture of professionals would have been good

Some participants not consistently available throughout the meeting

Use of acronyms and abbreviations needs to be minimized and where used, explanations are

required

Distance to and from meeting venue was far. In future, accommodation should be provided

12. Closing Remarks

Dr. Cosmos Magorokosho, CIMMYT senior maize breeder in southern Africa, expressed gratitude to

the host country (Zambia) for allowing the meeting to take place and the participation of the different

stakeholders. He also expressed gratitude for the valuable contributions which were a good starting

point for a long-term relationship toward integration. He shared his hope that the integration process

would be a success and provide an example and lessons for site integration projects elsewhere.

As a parting shot, he thanked the CGIAR Centers and national partners for a highly productive

workshop.
