Reporting 2021 Innovation #1446A farm-level assessment of labor and mechanization in Easternand Southern Africa.Project Title: P961 - Building foresight portfolio for MAIZE AFS, including synthesis, gap analysis andnew studies, as input in conducting priority setting for MAIZE AFSDescription of the innovation: Ex-ante impact assessment of small-scale mechamization throughanalysis that labor is a major limiting factor to the productivity of most farming systems in Africa. Theteam used farm-level data (including detailed labor data) from four countries in Eastern and SouthernAfrica, and analyzed this dataset using multivariate methods. Labor and/or other sources of farmpower (draught power or tractor power) were found to limit land productivity in all study sites.New Innovation: NoInnovation type: Biophysical ResearchStage of innovation: Stage 3: available/ readyfor uptake (AV)Geographic Scope: Regional Number of individual improvedlines/varieties: <Not Applicable>Region:     ● Southern Africa     ● Eastern AfricaDescription of Stage reached: peer reviewed journal article highlightingb the ex-ante impactassessment of small scale mechanisation in AfricaName of lead organization/entity to take innovation to this stage: CIMMYT - Centro Internacionalde Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo / International Maize and Wheat Improvement CenterNames of top five contributing organizations/entities to this stage:     ● CIMMYT - Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo / International Maize andWheat Improvement Center     ● EIAR - Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research     ● KENDAT - Kenya Network for Dissemination of Agricultural Technologies     ● SARI - Selian Agricultural Research Institute     ● University of ZimbabweMilestones:     ● Ex-ante impact assessments assess how major drivers like climate change and ruraltransformation will alter MAIZE in the developing worldSub-IDOs:     ● 8 - More efficient use of inputs     ● 5 - Diversified enterprise opportunities     ● 6 - Increased livelihood opportunities1This report was generated on 2022-08-19 at 08:46 (GMT+0)Reporting 2021 Innovation #1446Contributing Centers/PPA partners:     ● CIMMYT - Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo / International Maize andWheat Improvement CenterEvidence link:     ● https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs13593-019-0563-5Deliverables associated: <Not Defined>Contributing CRPs/Platforms:     ● Wheat - Wheat     ● Maize - Maize2This report was generated on 2022-08-19 at 08:46 (GMT+0)
