Why and how to implement an R&D framework for Africa
RISING?
• Demand-driven R&D: Whose demand?
• Livelihoods focus: Context (of farming practices)
• Diversity: Differentiated demand/options
Key concepts

Financial Physical
Access to land, water, natural resources
infrastructure, shelter, markets,
...
knowledge, health, ability to work...

Why and how to implement an R&D framework for Africa
RISING?
• to focus stakeholder networks on weaker actors (vulnerable farmers, women)
• as strategy to link Research to Development (action-oriented)
• beyond researcher-identified diversity/problem
identification/options (livelihood strategy focus)
• Engaging with farmers and other stakeholders
Why a participatory R&D?
