Scaling Readiness in the Sustainable Intensification of Mixed Farming Systems InitiativeAymen FrijaInitiative Planning and Inception Meeting31 May – 2 June 2022, ILRI Campus, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areaswww.cgiar.orgOverview of innovationsBuild on innovations generated under: § CGIAR research programs (e.g., LIVESTOCK, WHEAT, MAIZE, GLDC);§ specific SI projects, such as Africa RISING, CSISA, SIMLESAInnovations for SI of MFS include, among others:§ the diversification of cropping systems with multipurpose crops;§ improved forages and supplemental feeding of livestock; § crop residue and manure management;§ Tools for assessing and targeting MFS innovations, etc.www.cgiar.orgObjectives of scaling readinesso The ambition is to will apply scaling readiness to 26–50% of its total innovation portfolio.o At least 12 scaling readiness assessment studies (six Light Track and six Standard Track) will be published by 2025.These will:i. Provide a detailed characterization of core SI-MFS innovations; ii. Diagnose their current readiness and use (WP2, WP3); andiii. Lay the foundation for strategies to overcome bottlenecks for scaling. WP3www.cgiar.orgWe are talking about an innovation BUNDLES (and not a unique innovation)o In line with System transformation approacheso Evidence-based assessment of an innovation package o Reveals the potential and the key bottlenecks in the Innovation PackageSource: SR team – Schut et al. 2021o Support teams in prioritizing investments and partnerships around bottlenecks o MEL Baselinewww.cgiar.orgLinkages with other WPs/CC ThemesClosely linked to: o WP 2: methodological innovations, o WP 3: piloting of innovation and feedback from the implementation of innovation bundles, but also feedbacks to the SR conceptual framework (time sequencing of innovations, entry points for system transformation, enhanced methodology for the identification of “core innovations”, etc.)o WP4: part of the scaling strategies may involve working on the enabling environment,o WP5: CapDev and KM innovationswww.cgiar.orgPotential linkages with other initiativesScaling readiness assessment within MFS is expected to be coordinated with other initiatives (SAPLING, EiA, LCSR, HER+) to enhance synergies and share costs.www.cgiar.orgTwo key deliverables1. Documented scaling ambition, vision of success, and roadmap for use of scaling readiness for selected priority core innovations.2. Evidence-based scaling readiness assessment reports and related scaling strategies for innovation packages.Thank you
