Development and Delivery Activities for Out-scaling R4D Technologies for Greater Impact
During 2016 and Plans for 2017
P4D week; 21 November 2016 Ibadan, Nigeria

The Central Africa Hub
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Central Africa Hub
Diverse crops and systems • Farming systems: Slash
and burn, integrated, mono-cropping, mixed-cropping
• Crops: annual, perennial, trees, legumes and vegetables
Diverse challenges•Crop diseases and inappropriate cropping system•Hilly topography and severely degraded soils•Lack of agricultural inputs and tools•Absence and use of inappropriate processing equipment•Poor infrastructure (research, road, market etc)•Limited products and post-harvest options •Weak capacity
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Vision and ImpactThe Vision of the Central Africa Hub is ‘Be the leading research partner in finding solutions to hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation and delivering these with partners at scale.
The ultimate impact is to lift over 3.5 million Africans out of poverty and turn 1.0 million of land into sustainable use

Platform of stakeholdersA platform of stakeholders comprising Research institutions, NGOs, Government, Private sector and Farmers was instituted to :
Joint planning• Synergy among partners• Harmonize strategies
Joint implementation• Organize joint events• Share information and
knowledge• Exchange germplasm
Joint evaluation
Visit of partners to BXW rehabilitated field in Burundi

Control strategies of the Xanthomonas wilt of Banana epidemiology have been identified: from total mat removal (with dire livelihood consequences) to single diseased stem removal
Engagement of development partners for scaling, including CRS, FH, Floresta, amongst others.
Over 15,000 training materials including manuals, factsheets, posters and videos are developed and disseminated to strengthen the capacity of extension workers.
Over 6,000 fields rehabilitated in 3 years; scaling is on-going
Engagement of development partners
Total mat removal
Single diseased stem removal
Sensitization

Sustainable cocoa intensification for increasing cocoa productivity, quality and income
Diffusion of good agricultural practices
Demonstration plots for cocoa regeneration and diversificationFarmer Field
Schools
~6000 farmers trained and 40 demonstration plots established in 2016
Similar targets for 2017
Engagement of development partners
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Private sector engagementOver 150,000 plantlets of improved banana varieties from tissue culture established in 125 nurseries for macro-propagation. Farmers now sell a bunch of FHIA 17 between 5 and 10 USD per bunch compared with < 4 USD for local cultivars

Farmers organized to access marketGARUKIRIGITOKE Farmers Association in Muyinga, Burundi supply banana bunches to Tanzania for processing into juice, twice in a week
Over five truck loads of banana are shipped to Tanzania weekly from Muyinga with average gross income to farmers of 120 USD per week
The CIBITOKE Banana Cooperative supplies banana beer to Bujumbura three days in a week (200 liter) with average gross income of 200 USD per farmer
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Policy engagementThe coffee-banana work is changing policy in Rwanda and a similar request was made from Burundi. In both countries, until recently, it was discouraged to associate other crops with coffee!

Moving forward
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Going forward – moving beyond CIALCA
Model 1: Youth/ENABLE
See presentation tomorrow
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Model 2: Community-based processing to supply existing markets
Going forward – moving beyond CIALCA
Upcoming support through the World Bank in DR Congo and Burundi; TAAT in DR Congo; etc
Eight Community CassavaProcessing Center (CCPC) alreadyoperational in South Kivu, DRCongo for cassava processing
Fresh cassava root is processedinto Hugh Quality Cassava Flour(HQCF) for bakery products
Starch is processed for laundryservices and pharmaceuticalproducts
Transformation of cassava wasteinto feed for livestock
Over 2.5 tons of fresh cassava root
processed per day and per CCPC
On-going and ‘New’
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Model 3: Public Private Partnerships (PPP) within specific value chains
Going forward – moving beyond CIALCA
Upcoming support through the World Bank in DR Congo and Burundi; TAAT in DR Congo; etc
Bukanga Lonzo park in DR Congo
With over 80,000 ha of arable land, the agro-industrial park will serve as resource and training center for agro-enterprise development.
PPP around a nucleus farm and transformation unit
In such a model, the agro-input supply chains and output chains are guaranteed through a nucleus farm and an out-grower model will be used.

• A total credit of about $ 47,600 accessed by 8 farmer groups to access inputs and improve general legume production
• 1800 women farmers have been trained on soya processing for both business and household consumption
Going forward – moving beyond CIALCAModel 4: Backstopping NGOs and Government-led development programs
Upcoming support through FH an ADRA in DR Congo, N2Africa in DR Congo and Rwanda, IFAD in Burundi and Rwanda, etc
• A total of about 9,000 farmers (36% women) have been reached with various technologies (e.g. inoculants, improved seeds, fertilizers, etc)
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Commercialization of plant tissue culture Public-private partnership for the production of tissue
culture plants Focusing on cassava, plantains and cocoa, expansion to
coffee, pineapple, potato, Linked to centers for plant multiplications throughout the
countryBiopesticide and neem extract for insect control and insects for feed Biopesticide production – present interest by Elephant Vert;
targets, cocoa, plantains, vegetables. Production of neem extracts for use in insect control on
multiple crops. Insects for feed: ex. Black soldier flies for breaking down
waste (e.g. oil palm sludge), with residues used as fertilizer and fish and animal feed.
Going forward – moving beyond CIALCAModel 5: Business Incubation Platform (BIP) to stimulate private sector engagement

Final thoughts
www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org
Research in Central Africa has generated impact and will continue to do so
We’ve learnt a lot of what works or doesn’t and will integrate these lessons in future initiatives
We have dissemination models that have passed a validation phase and that are ready to move
We have learnt how to embed relevant research into development activities and will continue to do so
We look forward to a continued support from the P4D directorate and hope to have a Central Africa P4D director appointed soonest deputy
