Systems Research• Involves whole-system analysis and interactions
– multi cropping systems, – integrated crop – livestock, – NRM – productivity-markets/institutions interactions– gender and generational issues, etc.
• The blending of local and technical knowledge• Matching of technological options to the biophysical
and socio-economic contexts• Participatory multi-stakeholder engagement and
partnerships.
Livelihood enhancement, Sustainable Intensification and NR integrity

Systems-CRPs
• Core business: Integrated systems approaches
• The “melting pot” dimension: integration across CRPs operating within AEZ
• Strategic partnership with selected CRPs
• Elements exist within other CRPs
![Page 6: Humid Tropics: How Humid Tropics approaches regional research and selects research sites - Kwesi Atta Krah](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5562ef5ed8b42a38778b54de/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
10 Elements of “Systemness”
1. Systems mindset– Boundaries– Components
2. Inter-”disciplinary” Teams– Partnerships– New competencies
3. Stakeholder engagement– R4D, Innovation Platforms
4. Integrated systems: interactions and trade-offs
5. Innovation: hardware, software and ‘orgware’
6. Scale dimension: -scaling up/out
7. Gender research: -women and youth
8. Capacity building -across “actors”
9. Development orientation - IDOs
10. Learning
- mechanisms and strategies

Strengthening scientific coherence - in relation to our Theory of Change and Program Hypotheses
1. Foresight (in partnership with others, CRPs)
2. Integrated soil fertility mgt. X Productivity X Markets
3. Social science and policy dimensions ???
How do these areas interact with the regional Flagships? ……
… and with other CRPs???

Crosscutting Flagship
![Page 15: Humid Tropics: How Humid Tropics approaches regional research and selects research sites - Kwesi Atta Krah](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5562ef5ed8b42a38778b54de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Spatial analysis – ‘Hard’ criteria
• Use the 3 key variable site selection process, based on: • Poverty• Market access• Risk of degradation
• Combinations of High and Low for each of these leads to 8 categories (HHH, HLH, HLL, etc.)
• Those categories which are the dominant features of the Action Site should be included to some degree in the Field Sites
Site Selection
![Page 16: Humid Tropics: How Humid Tropics approaches regional research and selects research sites - Kwesi Atta Krah](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5562ef5ed8b42a38778b54de/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
‘Soft’ criteria - Dialogue with partners and local experts
• Local knowledge
• Local partnerships and views of local experts with better grounded knowledge and experience may bring in other ground considerations influencing choice of Field Sites
• Institutional, political, security considerations, etc.
• Developmental opportunities
Site Selection
![Page 17: Humid Tropics: How Humid Tropics approaches regional research and selects research sites - Kwesi Atta Krah](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062307/5562ef5ed8b42a38778b54de/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Development Domains in the ECA Flagship
Poverty Level
Risk of Degradation (HANNP)
Market Access
• Site selection guidelines produced
• Three key variables are used (scaled as hi or lo)
• All combinations are mapped to encompass the range of social, political, and environmental heterogeneity
• Spatial analysis is subjected to stakeholder consultation for final selection
Site Selection

ConclusionHumidtropics is making progress ….
…. within reasonable limits!!
• Increased coherence and trust building:
• Combining crosscutting with regional Flagships
• Site selection links to extrapolation domains
• Make partnerships count for good
– Regional organizations
– R4D Platforms
• More efforts in CRPs collaboration
– Co-location, Coordination, Collaboration
• Overall, positive feel! Great Expectations!!
Focus on DELIVERY!
