Outline:
• Limpopo Basin
• FANRPAN as a host for the LBDC
• Getting research into use and policy
• Lessons learned

FANRPAN:
Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network
• Formed in response to call by African Ministers of Agriculture (1997) for an independent source of evidence to feed into policy processes;
• Civil Society Organization
• Membership of Farmers’ Representatives; Government; Research; CSOs; & Private Sector
• Approach to getting research evidence into policy processes rests on three keys: PARTNERSHIPS; POLICY ANALYSIS (research) & POLICY ADVOCACY.

Partnerships• Members; Mandates• Convening Power; Communication
Policy Analysis (research)• Analysis of intervention points• Recommendation of leverage points
Policy Advocacy• Engagement platforms (CoPs, Dialogues, etc)• Prepare advocates to convey messages
• Journalist training• Theatre for policy advocacy• Publications, dvds, etc

The Projects Project Research Questions Outputs/milestones L1 Targeting &
scaling out
SEI
Which known agriculture water management interventions will work best under which conditions in the Limpopo Basin?
DSS diagnosing successes for replication (for upscaling and outscaling)
L2 Small scale infrastructure ARC-SA
How can SWIs sustainably support smallholder farmers?
Guidelines incorporating lessons learnt on how to develop sustainable infrastructure
L3 Farm systems & risk management ICRISAT
How can improved market linkages lead to sustainable small holder livelihoods and reduced risk?
Innovation platforms – linking smallholder farmers to markets Methodologies on linking fodder & livestock systems
L4 Water &Land Governance WaterNet
Which kinds of institutional arrangements facilitate the most appropriate land & water
Institutional configurations for pro poor access and control of natural resources

Andes • Ganges • Limpopo • Mekong • Nile • Volta
Where will the evidence go?
Farmers and extension officers: rain water harvesting techniques, water governance guidelines, improved fodder options and seeds, functionalinnovation platforms and facilitators
Catchment Councils: database of existing small reservoirs with capacity,map of known small water infrastructures with status
Provincial departments of agriculture: training manuals, data bases, maps, prioritized investment options
National governments & Regional organizations: databases, research reports, investment priorities, targeted policy recommendations
