Item Social Networks Analysis for ICT-based control of BXW in Rwanda(Newsletter, 2019-06) Adewopo, Julius; Schut, MarcItem Development of ICT Innovation Expected to Help in Fight Against Banana Disease in Rwanda(Newsletter, 2018) Twahirwa, A.Item A reality check for digital agricultural extension tool development and use(Newsletter, 2021-03-01) Adewopo, Julius; McCampbell, M.; Mwizerwa, C.; Schut, MarcICT-driven digital tools to support smallholder farmers are arguably inevitable for agricultural development, and they are gradually evolving with promising outlook. Yet, the development and delivery of these tools to target users are often fraught with non-trivial, and sometimes unanticipated, contextual realities that can make or mar their adoption and sustainability. This article unfolds the experiential learnings from a digital innovation project focusing on surveillance and control of a major banana disease in East Africa which is being piloted in Rwanda.Item Punta morada de la papa: ¿cómo se puede manejar esta “enfermedad” en el Ecuador?(Magazine Article, 2021) Navarrete, I.; Almekinders, Conny J.M.; Yue, X.; Quimbiulco, K.; Panchi, N.; Andrade-Piedra, J.L.; Struik, P.C.Este estudio contribuye a la discusión de cómo debemos responder a las epidemias de enfermedades y plagas que afectan a los cultivos. Este artículo está enfocado en la epidemia de punta morada que está afectando a los productores de papa en el Ecuador.Item Cassava Matters, issue 17(Newsletter, 2019-04-30) Atser, G.; Osunde, T.; Ngome, D.; Babaleye, T.Item Cassava Matters, issue 16(Newsletter, 2019-03-08) Aster, G.; Osunde, T.; Ngome, D.Item Cassava Matters, issue 13(Newsletter, 2018-06-30) Atser, G.; Osunde, T.; Ngome, D.Item Cassava Matters, issue 11(Newsletter, 2018-02-28) Atser, G.; Osunde, T.; Ngome, D.Item Una introduccion al marco politico, institucional y normativo sobre la retribucion por servicios de conservacion de la agrobiodiversidad en el Peru(Working Paper, 2018) Ruíz Muller, M.; Drucker, Adam G.; Ramírez, M.Item Una mirada a los incentivos para la conservacion in situ de recursos fitogeneticos en el Peru(Working Paper, 2017-12) Ruíz Muller, M.; Drucker, Adam G.; Ramírez, M.Item Cassava Matters, issue 8(Newsletter, 2017-07-31) Atser, G.; Ngome, D.Item Cassava Matters, issue 9(Newsletter, 2017-09) Atser, G.; Osunde, T.; Ngome, D.Item Scaling readiness: Accelerating the scaling of RTB interventions. Newsletter No.3(Newsletter, 2017-12) Sartas, Murat; Schut, Marc; Pypers, Pieter; Schagen, Boudy van; Newby, Jonathan Craig; Velasco, C.; Thiele, Graham; Leeuwis, CeesThis is the third of the series of newsletters that will capture our efforts to develop an approach that will assess and accelerate the scaling of innovations in the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB). This newsletter aims at introducing and giving visibility to the four case studies that are helping the Scaling Readiness team in developing and testing the tools and methods. In return, these projects are supported by the Scaling Readiness team to develop, implement and monitor strategies to support the scaling of innovations.Item Scaling readiness: Accelerating the scaling of RTB interventions. Newsletter No.2(Newsletter, 2017-11) Sartas, Murat; Schut, Marc; Asten, Piet J.A. van; Thiele, Graham; Proietti, Claudio; Leeuwis, CeesThis is the second of the series of newsletters that will capture our efforts to develop an approach that will accelerate the scaling of innovations in the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB). The newsletters will capture the major concepts of Scaling Readiness, activities, and information about the RTB cases in which we are developing and testing the approach.

The newsletters will capture the major concepts of scaling readiness, activities, and information about the RTB cases in which we are developing and testing the approach. The scaling readiness project is an Earmarked Funded project under RTB Cluster 5.4 and is implemented by Wageningen University , IITA, Bioversity International, CIAT and CIP. This first newsletter provides (1) the objectives of the scaling readiness project, (2) background on innovations and scaling of innovations, (3) concepts of scaling readiness, and (4) testing of scaling readiness in four RTB projects. 1. Objective of the scaling readiness project Scaling of agricultural innovations is one of the biggest challenges for research for development organisations, in the CGIAR and beyond. For a long time, scaling of innovation was considered to be done at the end of a project, through handing out flyers to farmers, or summary sheets and briefs to policy makers. The results have been very disappointing and the CGIAR is under pressure to demonstrate how research outputs lead to development outcomes and impacts. The thinking about scaling and the science on how best to do it, has been neglected for a long time. The " scaling readiness " project builds on state-of-the-art science and scientific methods to shed more light on how scaling occurs in practice and what tools and methods can accelerate scaling of innovations in agricultural research for development (AR4D) projects. In doing so, the scaling readiness project aims to: 1. Assess the potential of RTB technologies and innovations to be used at scale; 2. Provide strategies to accelerate the scaling of RTB technologies and other innovations; 3. Measure the performance of RTB projects in terms of enhancing their scaling readiness; 4. Inform RTB managers and other key stakeholders about strategic scaling actions and partnerships.Item Cassava Weed Management Project: Newsletter(Newsletter, 2014) Dixon, A.; Ekeleme, F.; Atser, G.Item Cassava Weed Management Project: Newsletter(Newsletter, 2015-06) Dixon, A.; Ekeleme, F.; Atser, G.Item Sustainable weed management technologies for cassava systems(Newsletter, 2015-09) Dixon, A.; Ekeleme, F.; Atser, G.Item Cassava Weed Management Project: Newsletter(Newsletter, 2015-03) Dixon, A.; Ekeleme, F.; Atser, G.Item Support to Agricultural Research for Development of Strategic Crops in Africa Newsletter, issue 6(Newsletter, 2014-04) Akem, C.; Adewole, A.
