Situation Analysis and Program-wide Synthesis. WP-1
• Two IPs established at a commune
level (in Koutiala and Bougouni)
• Mapping stakeholder
characteristics and interactions• Analysis of collaboration Network
• Identification of Clusters,
Bridgers/Brokers and Hubs
“Bridgers” or “brokers”
Bridgers provide valuable opportunities for innovation, growth, and impact because they have access to perspectives, ideas, and networks that are otherwise unknown to most network members.
Hubs Stakeholders in a network with the most influence. Hubs of influence in a network are best measured using directed links.

Training Modules revised and compiledas a training manual for extension workers (the draft document is under review)
Topics coveredFood groupsMalnutritionOptimal feeding practices for children and pregnant and lactating womenHarvest and post-harvest conservation and transformationFood HygieneHow to improve food and nutrition security.
Nutrition: Improving household nutrition through agricultural and behavioral change communication and value addition in Mali
Meeting organized in Ouagadougou-Burkina Faso (14-16 January 2015)
Work plan for the coming years was developed
Main highlights
The year has been successful in terms of establishing planned activities and getting results
Enough data was collected and results were presented in Sikasso science meeting (Feb 26&27, 2015). Report and presentation are available for sharing
Participatory research (for example integration of farmers) has increased the benefit of the research findings
Few representative farmers from each study sites were invited to hear science results. This paves a way for information dissemination, get more volunteer farmers and space for research
Good collaboration with other projects; DS, WLE, USAID GCC, USAID ARDT_SMS, FARMSEM
Detailed technical report was submitted to IITA
