Pillar 1: Partnerships and Policies
Objective
To leverage public and private partnerships for impact along the agri-food system and set up an inclusive, ICT-based monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) system.
Description
CIALCA has a 12-year legacy in the Great Lakes Region, both in terms of its development impact and through its partnerships and networks. This elaborate network enables the Consortium to leverage CIALCA innovations with governments and other public and private sector development programs. While building on existing—strong—partnerships with the agricultural ministries and national agricultural research institutes, CIALCA has also advanced collaboration with strong market parties (e.g., by linking farmers to agrifood processors), and with nongovernmental service providers (e.g., development organizations with a track record of impact).
Expected outcomes
By the end of 2019, strategic partnerships have been established and partners are engaged in validating and scaling CIALCA innovations.
On a continuous basis, feedback obtained through participatory action research and the ME&L framework influences any future R4D investments of government, and development and business partners
