Differentiation processes: the surveyed regions facing

transitionGorée, Senegal - June, 2008

Objectives Based on:

phase 2 results [regional and chain analysis, HH surveys]

Our discussions on: integration-differentiation; vulnerability

What are the main issues to be raised regarding: The absorption capacity of agriculture The main determining factors of differentiation [land

access, water access, type of market access, etc] Marginalization processes [both regional and HH levels] Existing exit options [diversification of rural activities,

development of waged labor, migrations and livelihood options for migrants]

=> How to usefully feed the local/international debate?

AdjustmentsGorée, Senegal - June, 2008

Variables Clarifications1. Economically active population: range from 15 to 64 year-old2. Resident: short term migration included, long term migration

excluded3. Underestimation of transfer: Impossible to complete the data,

but useful to make comments on this underestimation4. Auto provision of seeds not taken into account5. But auto-consumption taken into account at the average

market price6. Cultivated areas: each team identifies the best way to

estimate the areas (sold production, yields, total production…)

7. Sales of agricultural products: refers to the usual type of commercialization (eg. Paddy vs white rice): if on-farm hulling the value is included in the selling price – if off-farm hulling its cost is deducted from the selling value

8. Transformation: only taken into account when the nature of the product has changed (e.g. cheese, olive oil…)

Variables Clarifications / 21. Equipment depreciation: when necessary (heavy

equipments), teams could take them into account if they have the relevant information, but have to show results with and without depreciation

2. Education: 0= do not write and read; 1= write and read; then classes according to each team up to 5 (i.e. 6 classes).

3. Livestock: use the “short way”=> sales + auto-consumption at market price - breeding expenditures=> breeding account to catch livestock value (only for cattle)

Back to the indicators 4 axes Core variables + national additional

variables Same scale for scoring 1 => 3 but local definition of each level of

vulnerability Last points of clarification for discussion:

diversification / dependency ratio / marketing / land tenure

Next steps: deadlines and dissemination

Gorée, Senegal - June, 2008

Deadlines and countdown Initial deadlines:

6 months after signature Workshop mid-April => end of May => mid-

June Today’ s deadline: draft report mid-July Justified by:

End of the program: end of February 09 Peer review process: internal and external

reviews => draft final report mid-November Advisory Committee mid-September Steering Committee early September note for review to be sent on August 30

Mid-July’s deadline: minimum requisites The more you can… for mid-July + 1 week

= Monday, July 21 = 4 weeks from the end of the workshop

Part 1 and 3 on hold Part 2: the core of the analysis is the

target Chapter 2 on regional characteristics Chapter 3 on H1 and H3:

integration-differentiation (minimum from Chapter 1) Diversification processes

Chapter 4: engage discussion on vulnerability (depending of work on indicators)

Final deadline July 21 + 4 weeks = Monday, August 18 =

8 weeks from the end of the workshop=> report, annexes, database Feedbacks:

Between July 21 and August 4: first feedback Between August 18 and September 8:

feedback on general report Monday, September 22: final version Tuesday, September 30: closing date

After the national report… the “needed” and the possible Dissemination at the national level=> Option of a “package presentation”:

national report + first insights of the general synthesis => using the national debate to feed the final synthesis

Dissemination at the international level Final workshop => seminar => conference Special panel sessions: ABCDE 2009, GDN

2009, GTDF Publications: special journal issue, book, policy
