Presented by Patrick Dugan on the 14th of May in Lusaka, Zambia. This opening plenary presentation set the scene for the workshop, Building Research in Development Alliances to Unlock the Economic Potential of Aquatic Environments in Africa, which ran from the 14th to 16th of may, 2013.TRANSCRIPT
CGIAR, AAS and AfricaLusaka, 14 May 2013
A strategic partnership dedicated to advancing science to address the central development challenges of our time:
• Reducing rural poverty• Improving food security• Improving nutrition and health • Sustainably managing natural resources
15 International Agricultural Research Centers, working in close collaboration with hundreds of partners worldwide.

System Level Objectives
• Reduced rural poverty
• Improved food security
• Improved nutrition and health
• Sustainably managed natural resources
SLOs CRPs – primary focusReduced rural poverty Agricultural Systems: (Drylands;
Humid Tropics; AAS) (1s)Improved food security Commodities (Wheat; Maize; Rice;
Roots Tubers and Bananas; Dryland cereals; Grain legumes; Livestock & Fish) (3s)
Improved nutrition and health Nutrition and Health (4)Sustainably managed natural resources
Water Land and Ecosystems (5)Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (6)
Policies, Institutions and Markets (2); Climate Change (7)

Rural poverty and AAS
Ca. 100m people dependent on AAS
66% living in poverty
Intermediate Development OutcomesDirect• Food Security – better access• Nutrition & Health – increased consumption• Income – increased benefit from value chains
Enabling• Productivity – food systems• Gender – empowerment and equity• Capacity to Innovate – improved capacity• Resilience - adaptive capacity (people + systems)• Policies – enabling environment/ institutions• Environment – minimize adverse effects
IDO example: Rural poverty“Increased and more equitable income earned by low income value chain actors in aquatic agricultural systems, with increased share captured by women”
Specific AAS targets (within 12 years):
•50% increase in income from AAS value chains in 500,000 poor households in the Polder Zone of Bangladesh, with 40% of that income earned by women
•60% increase in income from AAS value chains in 50,000 poor households in the Barotse floodplain of Zambia, with 40% of that income earned by women

• High numbers of poor and/or High % of total population dependent on AAS• High vulnerability to change (climate/sea level/water)• Potential to scale out
