Measurable Outputs |
Knowledge Generation (KG) and Knowledge Sharing
(KS) |
Component 1- Identify and promote the expansion
of community based innovations termed ‘Bright’ spots
that prevent further land and water degradation and enhance
the livelihoods of agrarian communities in the target countries |
Farmer groups- “bright spots”-
who’s practices are leading to the higher land and
water productivity in the land degraded zones |
• Process documentation
• Communities of practices
• Learning alliances
• Knowledge Fairs
• Learning by doing |
• Matrix of success for each bright
spot
• Learning alliance around each identified bright spot
• Knowledge movement methods and channels are identified |
• 15 bright spots in each country (45)
• 1-2 learning alliances around each bright spots (90)
• 2-3 Knowledge movement channels in locality identified |
Component 2 -Evaluate plant
species and management systems that have the potential
to increased productivity and income generation on saline
soils through farmer participatory trials in the three
target countries. |
Researchers groups- IWMI, ICARDA,
ICBA and NARS teams of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan |
• Peer assist
• Outcome Mapping
• Learning alliances
• Knowledge Fairs
• Learning by doing |
• Package of new technologies
on remediation of land degradation
• Learning channels identified
• Learning alliances are formed |
• 4-5 new technology packages
on degraded land rehabilitation in total (salinity & sodicity)
• 1 learning alliances of stakeholders for every new technology |
Knowledge Sharing (KS) |
Component 3- Enhance the capacity of national
research and extension services to develop and promote
innovative strategies that address land water resource
degradation. |
1.
Researchers groups- sharing new technologies and approaches
2. Farmer groups- sharing of indigenous and farmer lead initiatives
on degraded land rehabilitation
3. Professor and Students groups- MSc and PhD thesis on subject matter
and helping to develop curricula for Universities |
• Knowledge Fairs
• Peer assist
• Formal training
• Process documentation
• Media and press involvement
• Story telling
• Open Space |
• Sustainable KS process
• Properly documented KG and KS process
• Publicity of the activities
• PhD and MSc students
• Curricula developed and integrated into teaching process |
• Processes of KG and KS are documented
(2 documentaries and 10-15 project based brochures
• 2 Knowledge Fairs
• 3 MSc and 1 PhD student |
Knowledge Management (KM) |
All project components |
Project Team |
• Process documentation
• Round tables
• KS Fair and publications on KS |
• KS platform for technical projects |
• Case study report on KS
• Journal (public) on importance of KS in technical research
• Round table meetings with CGIAR Central Asia group on KS in technical
projects |
