Reducing vulnerability (SRT2 type)
Sustainable intensification (SRT3 type)
Circles/ovals
indicate roughly the
5 Target Regions.
CRP-DS Goal & Partners
• Goal: to identify and develop resilient, diversified and more
productive combinations of crop, livestock, rangeland,
aquatic and agroforestry systems that increase productivity,
reduce hunger and malnutrition, and improve quality of life
for the rural poor.
• ICARDA (Lead Center) and 8 CG Centers

CRP-DS focuses 4 research areas
• SRT1: Approaches to strengthening innovation
systems, building stakeholder innovation capacity, and
linking knowledge to policy action.
• SRT2: Reducing vulnerability and managing risk,
leading to resilient dryland agro-ecosystems with less
vulnerable and improved livelihoods of rural
communities.
• SRT3: Sustainable intensification for more productive,
profitable, and diversified dryland agriculture with
well-established linkages to markets.
• SRT4: Measuring impact and cross-regional synthesis.

What we want to achieve in NA&WA Flagship
through the CRP-DS?
• to reduce vulnerability to system shocks and climate
change in dry resource poor areas with poor
institutions and poor market connectedness,
• to sustainably intensify production in less marginal
areas which tend to have better institutional support
and access to markets
The goal is ‘sustainable intensification’ and
investment for long-term food security

Collaboration frameworks and
partnerships working mechanisms
• ICARDA is nearly the only center intervening in
NA&WA flagship, other centers will join!!!
• ICARDA developed over decades a strong
partnership with NARES over NA & WA region
• Partners:
– Local partners: NARES, Universities, farmers’
organizations, NGOs, development agencies, Private
sector, Decision makers
– Regional & International agencies: ARI (CIRAD), ACIAR,
FAO, IFAD, AFESD, EU, GTZ, UNDP, etc.

Collaboration frameworks and partnerships
working mechanisms
• For each site a NARES-ICARDA team is established
involving both research centers and universities
• A MOA of agreement signed between ICARDA and
NARES
• ICARDA regional/country office in charge of the
budget management
• For each site an ICARDA focal point and NARES focal
point have been nominated
• For each activity a leader from ICARDA and a leader
from NARES is nominated
18
Achievements
• Joint research teams established for the five sites in NA&WA
region with a total number of 50 scientists from ICARDA and
more than 100 scientists from NARS. Planned activities are
being implemented at the five sites.
• 20 technologies/practices are under research in 4 ALSs
(agropastoral, intensive rainfed, irrigated, tree based) over a
total area of 38000 ha and where 5260 farmers are
collaborating with the program.
• 25 to 40 % of these technologies/practices have an explicit
target of women farmers and this ratio will be increasing in
the future.
