Overall Big Goal• 100% increase in overall system productivity in target areas• Reduce farmers risks from seasonal production variability by 50% • 75% reduction in harvest losses and post-harvest losses• 50% value addition to the harvest• Lift X thousand people out of poverty • Eliminate the hungry season in target populations

Assumptions• Governments of countries involved invest in capacity building and

relevant infrastructure to bring research outputs to end users.• CGIAR and NARS partners deliver project outputs.

Aspirational

Project Purpose

• Provide sustainable pathways out of hunger and poverty for rural populations, particularly for women and children, through sufficiently improved food, nutrition, and income security and conservation or enhancement of the natural resource base.

Project Objectives• Identify, combine, adapt and evaluate sustainable

intensification farming options.• Effectively deliver and help scale out research outputs to end

users

Project Outcomes• Sustainable increase of whole farm productivity• Sufficiently improved on- and off-farm natural resource

management• Increased nutritional and economic levels of the target

populations, especially women and children• Reduced vulnerability and Increased resilience of all members

of the target population and of the farming systems, to adverse environmental and economic challenges
