What+we+would+like+Tanzania+to+contribute+to+A4HN+in+2014

- Intense location: what are the implications - Irrigation and land use change - Wildlife interface - Climate change · Need to integrate gender as much as possible and need to show the results and how it informs our work. This can be demonstrated by the: - number of websites that are being maintained - number of publications produced in each VC   - Trainings undertaken - Involvement of graduate fellows - Technologies at various stages of development // Risks:  // Getting stuck with surveys and assessments. The team spent 2 years conducting complicated surveys. As a result there is huge undigested data and might rush into innovation without making use of the data. // Recommendation:  // There is need to start ‘doing’ and basing this doing on previous analysis
 * Leaders of CRPs L&F and A4NH have been good at coordinating. The latter has used almost 4 million in supporting activities.
 * 2014 is the final year of phase 1 and thereafter a 2 year extension. Phase 2 of the project is planned for 2017-2019.
 * Need to show ‘why phase 2’ and start planning for it. Need to produce the research outputs, outcomes and have overall better performance. We need to make the case ‘why’ our work is important. We need pragmatic evidence; also that money is spent well.
 * Flagships are big pieces of science that lead to changes in policies and practices: one or two of such flagships are expected per year.
 * Tools are the next step down from flagships: tools are useful for people. Need to capture all of this with online pages
 * Identified topics:

== For example: There is a vaccine for chickens that involves all disciplines; it is technically solid, cost-effective, with social and gender scientists etc…7 years after the project we evaluated it after it had been given to a Public-private partnerships. After 7 years the control villages were losing 26 birds out of 30. The places that benefited were losing 22…while at the end of the project they were losing none…we need better systems that are based on the ground approaches! Sustainability of the intervention is very important. At what point do we coordinate and create synergies? When doing the POWB? Writing projects together? It is mostly in meetings like this…the core team needs to connect to the other issues and people. || · The A4NH agreed to do the safety and nutrition component in L&F · Food safety as a standalone is not working probably, but as part of a VC approaches it might work better. We are engaging with action-research. We have a dual track ||
 * Learning systematically for best bet interventions and be opportunistic
 * The small-holder dairy intervention was tested pretty well with a part of policy work. The question is how the model that worked for Kenya could be used in Tanzania?
 * Policy is also a key area.
 * Need to start making the case for phase 2 in 2014. The meeting in Dubai will be critical.
 * We put in a proposal for SPIA with Isabelle
 * ** Question  ** || **  Answer  ** ||
 * What does ‘best bets’ mean?
 * How can we design a process to have in-depth discussions? || · Have a lot of evidence but need to identify the key messages. There is also evidence in databases.  ||


 * // Action point: research test best bets that also provides more evidence and side research // **
