The Decision and Policy Analysis Program

Our visionWe strongly believe in the power of

information for making better decisions about agricultural and natural resource

investments, from the farm- to the global- level.

Numbers. Maps. Graphs. Insights.

Better public and private policies

Our modus operandi

Thematically diverse, united by spatial, economic and institutional analysis

Converting data to information to policy and decision insights

Demand-driven by other CIAT programs and partners needs in Latin America

Eco-efficiency as a guiding principle

Our themes

• Output 1: Impact assessment for targeting, documenting and increasing the effectiveness of research and development

• Output 2: Policy guidelines, tools and innovations for managing ecosystem services to the benefit of the rural poor

• Output 3: Estimated impacts of climate change on agricultural systems, and identification of adaptation pathways for the rural poor

• Output 4: Policy guidelines and innovations to ensure pro-poor and equitable supply chains in the face of a highly dynamic world

Impact assessment and targetting

• Institutional house for impact assessment: quantifying and communicating our impact– Large-scale, multi-country, and beyond adoption

• Impact mapping: where and how to work?– For research and development

• Facilitating Impact Team (FIT): methods for maximising our impact through participatory methods

Targeting Cassava Pest and Disease Problems

Climate change

EnvironmentCharacterization

Facilitating Impact Team (FIT)

To improve the engagement processes and socialization mechanisms of CIAT’s research with their stakeholders throughout the project cycle and contribute to scaling out and up of research outputs.

– Increase the effectiveness of research and development activities through the use of knowledge sharing principles, tools, methods and monitoring methodologies.

Theme 2 - Ecosystem Services

CIAT’s work on Ecosystem services

• ES that have a national, regional or international market– Aboveground carbon– Water

• Putting the numbers on ES flows in an integrated manner (social, biophysical, and economic benefits)

• Learning from broad range of cases• Enabling the poor to engage and benefit

from emerging ES market opportunities

Climate change

• Putting the numbers on impact: locally, regionally and globally

• Evaluating adaptation measures through scenario analysis at multiple levels– Policies (e.g. weather-index insurance)– Technologies (e.g. crop improvement)– Practices (e.g. use of shade crops)

• Influencing policy through clear messages delivered to the right people

Worldwide cassava production climatic constraints

Grey areas are the crop’s main niche.

Blue areas constrained by precipitation

Yellow-orange constrained by temperature

Impact of climate change on cassava suitable environments

Global cassava suitability will increase 5.1% on average by 2050… but many areas of Latin America suffer negative impacts

…….and for Latin America?Drought or flooding tolerance

30% of current cassava fields would benefit from enhanced drought or flooding tolerance

1.6m Ha still suffering climatic constraint

2.23m Ha of current production

2.1m Ha of new land would become suitable for cassava

BIG markets and BIG market opportunities

What public and private policies and organisational arrangements are needed for the poor to benefit from international markets in a globalised world?

Effective and sustained farm to market links require three components:

1.Farmers that are attractive partners for market actors

2.Market actors willing to invest in working with small producers

3.An effective enabling environment to support / govern these links

Enabling environment

(public / donor policies)

Willing buyers (private sector policies)

Capable farmers (skills, capacity &

organization)
