What is the Technology Platform? TP is a data and
analytics partnership between IFPRI and partners for assessing the role of technology investments.
TP aims to strengthenself-assessment capacity in partner organizations to support technology adoption at sub-regional and national levels.

Activities in 2016OBJECTIVETo provide data and analytical research support for the Ministry of Agriculture in study countries to strengthen their technical self-assessment capacity for better targeting of agricultural technology investments toward the Malabo targets.
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
Activities in 20161. Desktop Study: IFPRI & Partners
Baseline and Targets: Current yields of major crops at subnational level and their recent trends
Feasibility Assessment: Assessing potential yield increases from known technologies and their economics at HH level
Adoption Target: Define the required level of technology adoption for the targets and compare the technology adoption assumptions with actual adoption data surveyed from case studies
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
Activities in 20162. Self-Assessment Support: Partners
Technical partnership to establish engagement with in-country technical capacity for the participatory review and country buy-in.
Facilitation of the self-assessment process and scoping for support demands
Alignment with other related technical support activities in region and country
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
ASARECA (Moses Odeke)Improved maize variety in Uganda1. Maize yield gap and trend analysis for
Malabo target2. Identifying the maize intervention area
(hotspot) in Uganda (e.g., high potential, large gaps in yield and nutrition)
3. Profile a potential technology suitable for the hotspot area and assess current and target adoption levels
4. Ex-ante bioeconomic analyses for the technology’s potential contribution to the Malabo goal
5. Communicate preliminary analyses with Ministry of Agriculture, review/revise for further self-assessments with ASARECA
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM: PILOT STUDIES
CORAF (Kodjo Kondo)Improved rice variety in Senegal1. Rice yield gap and trend analysis for
Malabo target2. Identifying the rice intervention area
(hotspot) in Senegal (e.g., high potential, large yield gap)
3. Profile a potential technology suitable for the hotspot area and assess current and target adoption levels
4. Ex-ante bioeconomic analyses for the technology’s potential contribution to the Malabo goal
5. Communicate preliminary analyses with Ministry of Agriculture, review/revise for further self-assessments with CORAF
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM: PILOT STUDIES
CCARDESA (Baitsi Podisi)Small ruminant technology in Namibia1. Small ruminant production trend analysis
relevant for Malabo target2. Identifying the small ruminant intervention
area in Namibia (e.g., high potential, large constraints)
3. Profile a potential technology suitable for the hotspot area and assess current and target adoption levels
4. Ex-ante bioeconomic analyses for the technologies’ potential contribution to the Malabo goal
5. Communicate preliminary analyses with Ministry of Agriculture, review/revise for further self-assessments with CCARDESA

Example: Yield Gap and Trend Analysis in Tanzania
Excel-based tool to analyze the sub-national crop yield trends and compute the required yield growth rates to
meet the Malabo target of doubling productivity by 2025.
