Item Enhancing climate resilience in Africa through the scaling and bundling of adaptation solutions(Conference Paper, 2024-12-18) Kagabo, Desire M.; Ouedraogo, Mathieu; Girvetz, EvanItem Initiative de recherche du CGIAR sur l’Agroécologie Rapport Technique Annuel 2023(Report, 2024-07) CGIAR Initiative on AgroecologyEn 2023, l’initiative a amplement démontré la valeur des bases qu’elle a établies en 2022 afin de développer et évaluer les innovations en matière d’agroécologie dans diverses conditions. Sur 11 territoires distincts, appelés paysages agroécologiques vivants (PAV), situés dans huit pays, l’analyse des conditions existantes et le processus d’engagement mené auprès de 6 159 acteurs du système alimentaire ont permis de sélectionner, de manière participative, des points de départ pour une transition vers l’agroécologie. Aujourd’hui, tous ces territoires font partie du Réseau international des PAV (RIPAV) lancé lors d’une visite d’échange dans l’Andhra Pradesh, en Inde. Pour évaluer les performances de l’agroécologie en fonction du contexte, l’initiative a mis au point un cadre global permettant de recueillir des données à différentes échelles et à différents stades de la transition agroécologique. Une collecte et une analyse complète de ces données sont en cours. Ces recherches portent également sur les pratiques agricoles, les modèles d’entreprise et les mécanismes financiers relatifs aux chaînes de valeur agroécologiques, les innovations politiques et institutionnelles, ainsi que sur les changements de comportement. Les résultats des analyses rapides des chaînes de valeur ont permis d’identifier les possibilités d’intégration des principes agroécologiques dans huit chaînes de valeur à travers six pays. Des partenariats visant à codévelopper des modèles commerciaux agroécologiques ont été établis au Pérou (cacao), en Tunisie (semences fourragères) et au Zimbabwe (sorgo et volaille). L’initiative s’est engagée avec les acteurs politiques de chaque secteur et a considérablement amélioré la base de connaissances concernant les questions politiques. Une analyse réalisée dans cinq pays a permis d’identifier les premières possibilités de renforcement des politiques et institutions au Kenya, en Tunisie, au Burkina Faso et au Pérou. Cinq pays (Burkina Faso, Pérou, Kenya, Tunisie et Zimbabwe) ont entrepris des recherches approfondies sur le changement de comportement en ce qui concerne les catalyseurs et les obstacles, ce qui a permis d’élaborer des stratégies et des plans d’action spécifiques à chaque contexte.Item Bioversity International Financial Statements 2023 for the year ended 31 December: Including independent auditor's report.(Financial Report, 2024-06-07) Bioversity InternationalBioversity International’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item CIAT Financial Statements 2023 for the year ended 31 December: Including independent auditor's report(Financial Report, 2024-06) International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)CIAT’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item A4IP 2023 Year in Review(Annual Report, 2024-02) CGIAR Accelerate for Impact PlatformItem CIAT Financial Statements 2022 for the year ended 31 December: Including independent auditor's report(Financial Report, 2023-06-01) International Center for Tropical AgricultureCIAT’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item Bioversity International Financial Statements 2022 for the year ended 31 December: Including independent auditor's report(Financial Report, 2023-06-01) Bioversity InternationalBioversity International’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item Bioversity International Financial Statements 2021 for the year ended 31 December: Including independent auditor's report(Financial Report, 2022-07-01) Bioversity InternationalBioversity International’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item CIAT Financial Statements 2021 for the year ended 31 December(Financial Report, 2022-06-29) International Center for Tropical AgricultureCIAT’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item Cassava Annual Report 2020(Report, 2021-12-01) Becerra-Lopez Lavalle, Luis Augusto; Newby, Jonathan Craig; Zhang, Xiaofei; Bohorquez-Chaux, Adriana; Malik, Imran; Cuéllar, Wilmer Jose; Delaquis, Erik; Slavchevska, Vanya; Tran, Thierry; Chavarriaga, Paul; Escobar Pérez, Roosevelt HumbertoCassava cultivation, though labor intensive and often subsistence oriented, provides smallholders and landless farmers as well as processors and traders across the tropics with a vital entry point for creating employment and income. Outperforming other crops in poor soils and under unpredictable rainfall, cassava is also crucial for enhancing the resilience of crop production systems in the face of climate change. However, cassava will become more susceptible to pests and diseases, as climate change likely increases their range of mobility. Moreover, production costs and postharvest losses remain high; technology uptake is limited; and producers’ market links are weak, even though cassava serves as a feedstock for numerous industrial uses, including food, feed, and starch. The newly formed Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) recognizes the vital contribution that cassava makes to poverty reduction, and this is reflected in the objectives and outcomes of the Cassava Sub-Lever’s recently developed strategy. In addition, we have prepared a multidisciplinary workplan across our six strategic Research and Service Areas (RSAs). The RSAs help integrate work on cassava with the Alliance’s strategy and lever structure, and also provide us with an overarching framework for prioritizing investments and delivering impacts in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC )and Southeast Asia (SEA), while supporting the work of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in sub-Saharan Africa. Guided by this strategic framework, the Cassava Sub-Lever relies on multiple strengths to fulfill its mission of improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers through genetic solutions to global problems that are fit for purpose within agricultural-economic-social-ecological systems. In operational terms, the RSAs create logical groupings of work around key themes and areas of expertise. In the sections that follow, we report on some of the noteworthy results that the Cassava Sub-Lever achieved in 2020 through its six RSAs.Item Bioversity International Financial Statements 2020 for the year ended 31 December: Including independent auditor's report(Financial Report, 2021-06) Bioversity InternationalBioversity International’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item CIAT Financial Statements 2020 for the year ended 31 December: Including independent auditor’s report.(Financial Report, 2021-06) International Center for Tropical AgricultureCIAT’s financial mandate includes maintaining accountability and transparency in its finances, and to evaluate and communicate direct impact from our work to our donors, partners and the wider research and development community.Item Cassava Annual Report 2019(Report, 2020) International Center for Tropical AgricultureLatin America is home to cassava, nature’s gift to humankind, which has helped to mitigate hunger in sub-Saharan Africa and extreme poverty in Southeast Asia. The Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) has supported cassava farmers for nearly five decades since CIAT created its Global Cassava Program in the early 1970s, prioritizing cassava research on the Latin American germplasm to provide solutions to the crop’s production and sustainability challenges in its home as well as in Africa and SEA, working with partners such as the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA). 50 years on, the Program continues to deliver on its initial objective, embracing the challenges outlined in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals which guide its theory of change path to deliver impact. The Global Cassava Program is now part of the Crops for Nutrition and Health research area at the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT. The Alliance recognizes cassava’s role in generating farmers’ income in poverty-stricken regions. Therefore, during 2017 and 2018, the Program created a multidisciplinary work plan across six Research and Service Areas (RSAs), strategically aligned to best respond to the demands of our main stakeholders. The CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (CRP-RTB), USAID, BMGF, HarvestPlus, ACIAR, as well as public (i.e., EMBRAPA, INIA, and AGROSAVIA) and private organizations (i.e., INGREDION and TTDI) are primarily interested in: 1) better cassava varieties, 2) access to clean planting materials, 3) monitoring and surveillance of pests and diseases, 4) improved farming and postharvest practices, and 5) the development of sustainable cassava value chains to unlock new cassava market growth. The Cassava Annual Report 2019, documents the Program’s research achievements over last year. In the report, you will find the remarkable results achieved by the Cassava Program during 2019 in improving access to germplasm-based solutions under the six Research and Service Areas that support our theory of change to deliver solutions to our end-users.
