CGIAR SITE INTEGRATION

NATIONAL CONSULTATION WORKSHOP FOR MALI

ICRISAT-Samanko, Bamako, Mali

March 01-02, 2016

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction: This report highlights the key points of the national consultation workshop on

CGIAR site integration in Mali that was held on 1 –2 March 2016 at the ICRISAT research station

at Samanko, Bamako, Mali. The workshop brought together representatives of the CGIAR centers

and CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) working in Mali and their key partners/stakeholders in the

agriculture sector to discuss how the CGIAR Centers and CRPs can work in an integrative manner

to better support the country’s agriculture research and development agenda.

Nearly 70 participants attended the two-day workshop including representatives from the Ministry

of Agriculture, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), donor community, private sectors,

CGIAR centers and Farmers group. At the end of the two-day consultation, the participants came

up with a draft framework of the site integration, which includes the current status of CGIAR in

Mali, principles, gaps and opportunities for site integration, resourcing, communication within and

outside the CG as well as mechanisms to monitor progress and assess activities and impact. The

following is a recap of the main outputs of the integration workshop. Each session ends with a

“lesson learned” note to summarize the key recommendations and statements from the participants.

1. National consultations Prior to the workshop, it clearly appeared from discussions with

key stakeholders that the government, research community officials, NGOs and other

national actors in the agricultural sector looked forward to the concept of site integration.

Pre-workshop consultations happened with CG center partners, NGO executives, and

national research actors. The Institut d’Economie Rurale (IER), the national research

institute welcomed the integration initiative and highlighted the need for CG centers to

continue their technical support through training younger scientists. In terms of supporting

the site integration, national partners have reiterated their availability to exchange

experience and facilitate CG access to farmers on the ground. The Alliance for a Green

Revolution in Africa (AGRA) highlighted the importance of coordinated and joint

programming and the opportune time for such consultations especially with regard to

promoting value chain. The International Relief and Development (IRD) and Syngenta

Foundation for a Sustainable Agriculture, executives praised the integration agenda and

strongly recommended that the upcoming plan addresses the transformation and income

generating needs for producers. NGO community was thankful for the workshop and

expressed concerns about funding and the need for continued training to benefit farmer

cooperatives. During the opening ceremony, Dr. David Yanggen (Team Leader, Office of

Economic Growth USAID/Mali) ), Dr. Ibrehima N’Diaye (Scientific Director of the

National Research Institute-IER) and Dr. Ramadjita Tabo (ICRISAT Regional Director for

West and Central Africa) gave the welcoming and opening remarks and reiterated the need

of coordination to effectively utilize the resources for better impact.

Key lessons learned: The relevance of site integration at country-level: For more efficiency and

increased impact, stronger coordination and collaboration are key. There is a strategic advantage

to integrate activities and programs for the benefit of the final beneficiaries in light of the

challenges linked to funding and human resources.

2. CGIAR activity mapping and current status: The major observation in the two day

consultation workshop was that the interventions at country level are happening in an

isolated way. As a result, little or no impact can be shown, hence the need for integration.

ICRISAT shared with the plenary a document depicting CGIAR centers and CRPs work

across Mali. The document includes different programs/projects, collaborating partners,

sources of funding and regional and district location of projects. The exercise helped

participants to understand who is doing what and where. In addition, the CGIAR Site

Integration Process Steering Committee has asked for participants inputs to improve the

document. As an example, three more CRPs (from the works of IITA and Bioversity in

Mali) were added to the draft and a more consolidated version will be shared with the

participants in due course. It is important to stress that a short presentation about the ARD

in Mali was provided by IER to inform participants on the long history of State supported

research activities in all Mali regions.

Key lessons learned: This introductory session served as background information for participants

to build on their individual experiences within their organizations. It also helped the CG partners

to upgrade and improve the draft inventory of various research and project partnerships in Mali.

3. Gaps and opportunities for integrated implementation: Politically, Mali has a

decentralized administration, and that will certainly have a huge impact as the CG partners

move toward site integration. With that in mind, gaps and opportunities were largely

discussed by participants during a plenary session. Highlights include the following:

The necessity for CG integration plan to ensure alignment and complementarity

with existing national policies

The necessity for the government to finance research and dissemination (extension)

The necessity to decentralize research to bridge the gap of lack of assistance in

certain areas of the country

The demographic situation affecting investments in agricultural research and

dissemination / Population explosion is to be considered as a key opportunity in

agricultural research and sites integration

Synergy and harmonized intervention will bear greater impact and easier

monitoring and evaluation as well as reporting

Need to define common monitoring and evaluation system (indicators) is crucial in

integration

More harmonized indicators will be key to measure the impact under site

integration

Integration will fill in the gap in areas of Mali where research partners are absent

and synergy means that we can do much with the available resources

Integration opportunities will help promote the dissemination and adoption of new

technologies, business and enterprise development, capacity building, value

addition, improve productivity with focus on climate change, and sustain

smallholder systems.

4

Training of researchers, producers and NGOs staff to improve the existing gap in

extension systems

Key lessons learned: Participants have a clear understanding of what the gaps and opportunities

are. In addition, they have proposed concrete ideas to improve the collaboration among research

partners, NGOs and producers. Another key lesson addresses the need for research to go beyond

the production stage and focus on empowering farmers and NGOs to develop value chain

4. Towards a common understanding of current status: In this session the facilitator led

the participants through an exercise to help reach a common understanding of the meaning

of integration and the principles that would guide the CGIAR and national partners in the

process. By the end of the session participants agreed integration entails the different

CGIAR centers and CRPs, their national partners and other stakeholders along the value

chain coming together to work for a common goal consisting of improving the farmers’

living conditions through food security.

Three working groups reflected on the following topics (i) key features of integration, (ii)

principles for selecting sites, and integrating actions, and (iii) towards effective collaboration and

cooperation. The following is a compilation of working group highlights.

Working Group inputs

Question 1: Key features of integration

Conduct a mapping of existing initiatives

Ensure common vision and objectives

Define roles and responsibilities for each partner

Harmonize approaches

Ensure transparency

Account for ecological issues in the intervention zones

Ensure equity and good governance

Some basic conditions for successful integration sites in Mali will therefore include:

Common vision and objectives of intervening partners

Common interest of different partners of the sites

Common ecological constraints of interventions zones/sites

Definition and clear attribution of roles and responsibilities of implementing partners

Good governance system (security and stability in intervention areas)

Pooling of human and financial resources

Needs and opportunities for complementarity

Transparency and openness to sharing information

5

Equity for all implementing partners

Interventions targeting the needs of end users of research findings

Question 2: Principles for selecting sites, and integrating actions

Necessity for integration plans to align with national policy/ Sites activities are align

on national priorities/ Relevance to the country's national policy

Coherence in the site selection criteria (with focus on agro ecology and vulnerability

issues)/ a definition of common criteria for selection areas of integration areas

Typology of actors for complementarity (transverse and vertical)

Resource availability

Ensure prioritization as per available funding

Openness and effective communication between stakeholders

Ensure impact and sustainability

Ensure monitoring and evaluation

Question 3: towards effective collaboration and cooperation

Partnership documents establishing principles and conditions (Memorandum of

Understanding -MOU)

Functional coordination framework at different levels by empowering each structure

involved/ cadre for regular consultations

Regular meetings and information sharing among all stakeholders

Independent governance/steering committee

Joint activity planning and networking

Sustainable and innovative funding mechanism (including internal resource

mobilization, public/private partnership)

Promotion both internal (among partners) and external communications with emphasis

on learning from successes (documenting and sharing successes)

Good governance and transparency

Value chains research focus

Design programs on longer terms

Ensure there is complementarity between national research institutions and CGIAR

CGIAR to support capacity building for national research institution staff

Designing innovative platforms for fund raising

Monitoring and evaluation strategy (including usage of multimedia tools for reporting)

Joint planning of activities for more complementarity

Other recommendations of Day 1 (from plenary session):

Producers must be fully involved in development and dissemination of improved

technologies/ trainings.

6

Go beyond traditional research and extension system approach and ensure that producers

get the most from research findings, impacting and improving their livelihoods in a more

concrete manner

Make iterative research to understand why some research findings are not always used by

producers

The private sector (eg. seed companies) need more involvement in research extension

because they can reach out to many farmers in remote areas but there is also a need to train

agro dealers to be more effective providers of input in communities

Develop a dynamic framework for consultation, involving stakeholders of agricultural

research at the regional level (not only at national level- thus call for a decentralized

extension system)

Define the roles of various actors in the context of integration and existing experiences as

starting for a broader-integration strategy among CGIAR centers and partners research

programs activities

Take opportunities of growing population and of the youth

It is important to harmonize research and extension methods, indicators, in order to have

readable interventions.

Involve producers and farmers organizations at all level, not only when it comes to

dissemination. Producers must be involved even in setting up the objectives the criteria of

varietal selection to facilitate ownership

Consider dynamics (constraints evolutions) in designing our interventions and adapt when

needed to evolution.

More engagement of politics is required in favor of agricultural extension

Identify strategies of resources mobilization at country level

Consider accountability (impact) as main indicator in site integration

Create or revitalize consultation for partners in agricultural research for development given

that the existing NGO consultation frameworks (eg. CCA ONG and SECO ONG) do not

seem to be very functional

The NGOs are key players in the extension system (with proven results in micro dosing,

warehouse system and mechanization) and a better coordination will therefore improve

their impact

We need to achieve results and impacts on farmers livelihood with less funding

Creation of thematic working groups will help in a context of integrated approach. Such

thematic working groups exists in the humanitarian sector which could inspire the creation

of thematic working groups in agricultural research from development.

Key lessons learned: The group discussions were conducted very well and allowed all participants

to share their views in a constructive and open way. This working group has demonstrated the vast

knowledge that participants have about integration, principles for site selection and collaboration.

At the end of day 1, the steering committee met to review the day and made recommendations for

the next day with specific focus on the methodology, encouraging more participation, and

alternative ways to discuss the session about resourcing given the absence of enough donors at

these national consultations to constitute a panel.

7

5- Operational aspects of integration: Day 2 kicked off with a brief recap of the previous

day. Participants suggested the addition of inputs about gender, value chain and the

partnership with local community radio stations as the CGIAR designs the integration plan.

This session gave participants the opportunity to discuss how integration will be done

differently. This session also helped understand the concept of site integration and

opportunities to learn from success stories such as Africa-RISING, a USAID-funded

project implemented in Mali and several African countries by multi-CG centers and

national partners. As an alternative measure to tackle funding issues, participants stressed

the importance of designing joint programs and jointly mobilize resources to fund these

proposals. The value added of such approach is to speak with one voice and advocate for

common goals. In addition, a strong suggestion was made to design projects and activities

focusing first on what resources are available at the local level. As a lead national partner,

IER gave a short presentation about how the ARD is funded in Mali.

At this point, several questions and comments were shared by participants and the facilitation team

including CGIAR representatives provided answers in the framework of a global initiative as Mali

is one of the 20 countries selected for CGIAR integration hubs.

Some key points of the discussions of the second day were:

The establishment of a framework for dialogue between NGOs operating in the framework

of Agricultural Research for Development is highly desirable.

Moving forward, partners need to be working together closely. Donors want to see the

value of their contribution on the ground; we have to think on how to complement each

other without competition

Integrate gender and youth at all levels of intervention sites.

Monitoring and evaluation will be key

Funding and resource mobilization: reaching out the public-private partnership

Governance and transparency (fairness)

Who is funding the Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D)?

Resource mobilization and allocation came out as a major issue to integration and participants

agreed that they have to develop strategies of resources mobilization; and that innovative resources

mobilization strategies are required both at the CGIAR and national systems.

At the national level there are also mechanisms for innovative financing but often this is not known

by actors who missing such opportunity (eg. Fonds Climat Vert). In terms of engagement, the

majority of financing will soon switch to private sectors. There are players in the private sector

projects who are willing to invest more money in agricultural areas that needed to be considered.

It is really important to pay attention to dynamics of the banking sector. Some NGOs testifies that

they are already experiencing the benefit of partnering with this sector. To maximize their strategy

and make the most of the banking sector, the CGIAR centers and the national agricultural research

system need to mobilize financing together as a network and not as individual organizations. In

8

addition, the CGIAR centers should think on how to use the resources available while exploring

new opportunities for resources mobilization.

On the other hand, National financing is necessary in order to preserve the independence and the

country's sovereignty and to sustain funding. In any case, resource mobilization should consider

two levels: the one that strategic research funding and the other to target applied research (to

achieve solutions and immediate impact). The private sectors (eg. Banking institutions) is likely

to support when it comes to funding of applied research for immediate impact and change in the

livelihood of farmers. Still there is a need to sustain strategic research with funding of traditional

donors.

Participants were invited to use existing experiences of integration like Africa RISING project

using a multi-disciplinary team of experts from different CGIAR and partners. Such integration

experiences exist at a reduced scale, but can be worked out at scale as part of an integration of the

CGIAR and this need to expand to NGOs, national structures etc. Major Difficulties in integration

as experienced within the Africa RISING project was to harmonize protocols; organize joint visits

and learning events as each partner has its own agenda as well. CGIAR and partners sites

integration should also include an approach with donors in order to associate activities of different

projects from various donors whenever required.

During the plenary session following the recap of the key points of first days, participants were

informed of the creation of Agricultural training center by one of the local NGO (AMEDD) based

in Koutiala. The training center offers opportunities for joint learning in the case of remote sensing,

soil analysis, and hosting researchers from different centers. Participants appreciated such

initiative and recommended it to be part of the site integration plan in particular when none of the

CG centers has regional offices in Mali. Also, the University of Segou was recommended for

collaboration as we are developing the site integration plan. An agricultural University will soon

open in Sikasso It was recommended to develop a strategic plan to tap on the opportunities that

are offered by these proposed training centers in the CGIAR site integration plan..

To close the plenary, a brief presentation of IER was made: IER is the main agricultural research

and extension system in Mali consisting of 17 national programs. About 800 staff members were

deployed at the different regions of Mali trough six regional centers organized as per agro-

ecological zones. IER has partnerships protocols and agreements with many actors of the AR4D.

This shows that IER is important for the site integration plan as it is working in different agro-

ecological zones and demographic conditions of Mali.

Key Lessons learned: Gender and value chains are essential features to be incorporated in the

integration plan. Participants feel strongly about optimizing the existing resources to develop and

implement integration activities and programs even before additional/new funding is available.

For example, the current initiative of AMEDD to have a training center in the cotton belt zone and

the government plan to open agricultural university in Sikasso were taken as opportunities for the

site integration work in Mali. In addition the presence of the national agricultural research center,

IER, was important for the CGIAR site integration work. Finally participants were informed about

potential funds that organizations could apply for, for example, Fonds Climat Vert.

Progress tracking and impact assessment was briefly presented by Dr. Hippolyte Affognon

(Senior Project Manager) to allow participants to discuss their views on how monitoring and

evaluation should be developed under the new integration formula. The goal of this presentation

was to bring participants to examine the challenge of blending different M&E approaches and

methodologies by different centers and partners in a way that did not create additional workload

as the CG works toward integration. A short presentation on Communication and CGIAR

integration was made by Agathe Diama (ICRISAT communications officer for West and Central

Africa) on communications opportunities in the context of site integration.

Main highlights of Progress tracking and impact assessment showed: the objective of progress

tracking and impact assessment is to monitor and evaluate interventions in order to take corrective

actions on time and to document the impact on beneficiaries. Because the integration means

different expertise from various independent institutions (with their own agenda) are working in

partnership, tackling complex problems, where there are a number of inter-connected issues, where

progress relies on the interactions of many different actors. So important are the processes of

transformation and change that are owned collectively (and not the result of a causal chain

beginning with ‘inputs’ and controlled by donors but result of a complex web of interactions

between different). Therefore all CG centers should be involved with the participations of all

partners including the beneficiaries and Monitoring and impact Evaluation specialists from the

centers involved. The IDRC model was suggested for Outcomes mapping as well the USAID

model, but in general this will look at different models existing models (taking into consideration

donors’ requirements)

The question on how to harmonize different models as different donors fund different projects

highlighted the need to design a model that fits the need of the integration through a well-defined

impact pathway and theory of change, description of a set of assumptions that explain the steps

that lead to a long-term goal and the connection between activities and the outcomes of

interventions. Along with this, a progress tracking and impact assessment is required at the

beginning of the intervention with a baseline data collection. It is crucial to coordinate the baseline

data collection among CG centers and develop a database, routine interventions monitoring in

order to focus on inputs, processes and outputs. Intervention evaluation that addresses outcome

and impact level results is part of this tracking system.

Communications is important in integration as it create mutual understanding, strengthen

relationships among site stakeholders and thus avoid duplication, thus getting all stakeholders

contribution to foster impact as they are all engaged and committed to achieve impact and visibility

around share vision.

The role of communication is therefore to help unify the different entities and ensure they are

speaking in harmony (in one voice), help create mechanisms for on-going dialogue to enhance

interaction among partners, ensure effective delivery of results from our research to intended

beneficiaries (effective communications and outreach tools). Moreover, the communication

10

practices will help bridges the gaps between research, policy, and development practitioners

involved and, enhance the uptake and development impact of research.

Communication opportunities in integration include:

Establishing a mechanism for ongoing dialogue and engagement with partners

Developing a process for engagement with partners, policymakers, etc.

Collaborating in producing communication materials

Setting up mechanisms for data compilation and management

Establishing joint extension support system or advisory services

Extension using ICT-based tools or new media

Capacity building e.g., in out-scaling, delivery mechanisms, knowledge management etc.

Publishing – Capturing and disseminating research products and outputs of the site;

Internal communication – Linking and connecting centers and research program teams.

Organizing and facilitating an annual learning and out-scaling event bringing together

partners from across the site and associated organizations (participants will include

researchers from the CGIAR, other development actors, funders, and other

national/regional actors likely to contribute to or benefit from the site activities). This could

also act as a review and planning mechanism across the site as a whole.

Organizing joint visits, events, studies, survey, supporting ‘peer exchange, learning’ visits,

as well Innovations platforms.

After these short presentations, the facilitator led the participants through group work to discuss

the following questions. Below is a summary of the group discussions:

Question 1: How would the impact pathway look like? What are the concrete ways to track

progress and assess the impact of our interventions, alignment and contribution to the

national agricultural development program? The following were the outcomes of group

discussions:

Impact involves qualitative and quantitative change (social behavioral change) and

can be measured through the percentage and/or number of people/villages who have

adopted the new technologies for example. Baselines should be established before

project activities are implemented to enable measure the changes.

Impact entails food security, nutrition, environment, health and economic growth.

Impact goes beyond direct beneficiaries of our programs and interventions.

Concrete ways to track progress should follow a harmonized plan that is

participatory.

Define resources (human, financial and logistical).

Question 2: What are the expected communication needs under the integrated approach?

What does strategic communication include?

Joint strategies and communication plans need to be in place

11

Internal communication among stakeholders :

– Exchange platforms among stakeholders

– Web site, online platforms, etc.

• External communication :

– Visibility of actions

– Dissemination of results using social marketing strategies

– A coherent communication plan will involves media (radio, TV, print such as

Articles/brochures, policy briefs, Web site, and others digital tools such as

telephone (text, vocal and visual) and online platforms as well.

For both Internal and external communication the strategies will include

Sharing outputs through technology (social marketing)

Farmer to farmer exchanges/learning events

Site stakeholders learning events

Sharing information on existing opportunities (call for propositions) and research

finding via online tools and conventional methods

Mechanisms to listening of feedback from beneficiaries/users of technologies

Periodic compilation of information and issue of an information letter (document)

on progress of the site integration and impacts

Consultation framework for stakeholders

Integrate communications actors (radio, TV etc.) as partners from the beginning

Exchanges visits, fairs (all stakeholders including researchers,

extensionists/producers)

Seminars/workshops

Training programs/capacity building

E-trainings/ E-forum

Digital tools (phone, SMS…)

Social networking focal point

Question 3: Identify at least two mechanisms for data/resource/experience sharing

Data and experience sharing: through web sites, e-discussion, multi actor platforms,

and networking

Designing joint projects

Strategic planning and resource mobilization

Question 4: What methodology to follow for joint planning of events/studies/visits?

Concept Notes

Annual (regular) meetings/retreats

Policy notes

6 Closing Remarks

In the closing event Dr. Ramadjita Tabo shared with the participants the next steps as per the

integration process for Mali towards the revision of the relevant CRPs Phase II. Dr. Tabo made

a remark that during the next few days, a summary report of the national consultation on

CGIAR site integration for Mali will be submitted to the Consortium Office (CO) in

Montpellier. On 29 April 2016 a Site Integration Plan for Mali should be submitted to the

Consortium Office. This plan will be used to revise the relevant CRPs Phase II. The evaluation

allowed the participants to comment on what worked well and what needed improvement “It

is the first time that researchers from different CGIAR centers and all their partners are

gathered in such a manner to find ways of integrating their interventions. This is even

important for a coherent strategy of resources mobilization,” said Dr. Antoine Kalingarine

(Coordinator of the World Agroforestry Sahel Node)”. We are looking forward to participate

in a more integrative and collective efforts to reach more farmers in remote areas” said

Madam Coulibaly Maimouna Sidibe (CEO FASO KABA Seed Company). “The CGIAR and

partners are showing great interest to finding solutions together with farmers. We look forward

to contributing to the integration plan of the CGIAR site in Mali,” said Mr. Boba AN. Dakouo,

producer and President of the Union des Agriculteurs du Cercle de Tominian –UACT (Farmers

Union of Circle of Tominian), a farmers organization based in southern Mali. “We’ve started

building something great. The aspirations and need of researchers, producers and policies

were heard. This exercise needs to be continued with commitments and no delays. I thank

ICRISAT for taking the lead with others CGIAR centers to organizing these consultations”

added Dr. Bourema Dembele- Director General of IER. Finally the CGIAR site integration

local organizing committee chair Dr. Birhanu Zemadim expressed his gratitude to all

participants for their active engagement and inputs. He thanked his CG colleagues who

contributed usefully to the event, the organizing team, the Process Steering Committee

members, the interpreters as well as the facilitation team for their commitment for this first

experience in Mali.
