NEN/IFAD- ICARDA Partnership

What is Next?

The NEN/IFAD-ICARDA Strategic Partnership

• Linking Research with Development Investment • Priority themes for the generation of improved technologies and practices

– Improving agricultural productivity and food security– Sustainable management of natural resources and climate change adaptation– Sustainable intensification and resilience of production systems; income diversification and

linking small farmers to markets– Cross cutting themes: rural poverty analysis for targeting pro-poor research and development

investments; gender mainstreaming and empowerment of women; capacity development

• Technical Backstopping to the development and implementation of investment programs and projects– Input into the development of IFAD country strategies: poverty mapping, strategic directions

and investment priorities– Input into the technical design of programs and projects: assessment of the NR base, selection

of technologies, production systems and cropping patterns, up/out scaling mechanisms, impact pathways,..

– Input into project design, supervision, mid-term and completion reviews, and impact assessment

– Capacity development – Knowledge Management

Thematic Priority Areas for Discussion

• Based on previous consultations with NEN/IFAD and recommendations of Steering Committee meetings of Grants:– Yield Gap for sustainable productivity growth and food security ( )

– Sustainable intensification and resilience of production systems (within the framework of CRP DS action sites in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia)- co-funding with CRP DS and FAO

– Water and Livelihoods (co-funding with USAID and in line with Water Scarcity Initiative of FAO for NENA)

– Date palm for improved rural livelihoods and diversified income (Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia & AP- self funded)

– Integrated Highlands production systems for improved livelihoods and resilience (Algeria, Morocco, CAC- co-funding with Russia)

– Ex-post Impact Assessment to IFAD’s investment in ICARDA and beyond
