Jummai Yila: Gender 5. Bougouna Sogoba: agronomist 6. Jimah Kipo: gender Farming systems research perspective (how this work links with others) 1. Gender issue will be tackled through introduction of soybean which is very well appreciated by women. 2. Trees planted on the crest of CB results in carbon sequestration; their impact on soil fertility will improve environment condition and crop yields (food and livelihood). 3. Trees have an important role in field ownership consequently an agreement for it planting come after several exchanges between youth and adults in the household and also women are involved to help protecting the young trees. 4. Also, during the extension activity of the technology, all the fields under contour bunding (CB) as demonstration will be mapped using GIS tools.

Jummai Yila: Gender 6. Bougouna Sogoba: agronomist Farming systems research perspective (how this work links with others) • GIS data related to fields under CB to map the spreading dynamic of the technology in the watershed • Data on carbon sequestration related to trees regeneration due to better water conservation thanks to the use of CB • Socio-economic data (social cohesion because of many discussions and agreement before the technology is adopted; livelihood through yields increase from the use of CB etc. ) Estimated fund requirement ICRISAT $ 79460, AMDD $ 12760 Kalifa Traore Birhanu Zemadim: activity leader Felix Badolo: economist Mahamadou Dicko: social scientist

Objective Evaluate existing initiatives and constraints in using efficient and sustainable water management practices using solar energy pumps and improved irrigation technologies. Procedures • The work utilizes survey data information on existing initiatives and practices of utilizing solar energy based pumps and improved irrigation practices in Koutiala and Bougouni. • Designing solutions for agricultural water management investment options for the smallholder farming communities. • GIS and Remote sensing technologies along with climate information (e. g radiation, number of sunshine hours etc. . ) will be employed to characterize and define suitable zones to implement solar based energy pumps. • Efficient water management solutions will be accompanied with other technologies (improved crop cultivars, soil and water conservation practices and agronomic packages) to evaluate the gains in productivity, social, livelihood and economic domains of the sustainability options.

Outcome no. _ 4 _ Output no. _ 4. 4 _ Activity no. _ 4. 4. 1 _ Sub-activity title MA 4411 -17: Operation of four technology parks as hubs for research and dissemination in Bougouni and Koutiala. Location/sites for sub-activity Koutiala and Bougouni Implementation timeframe (start/end date) July 2018 to January 2019 Deliverables 1. All field trial data that include agronomic, land, soil and water management 2. All data related to training and farmers field visit 3. A report on the types of technologies disseminated, capacity building, farmers’ field visit and video demonstration S. I. domain and indicators for which data was collected – indicate metric and scale 1. Productivity: All data at the plot level in the technology park. 2. Environmental: All data at the plot level in the technology park 3. Economic: Field/Plot level: All data at the plot level in the technology park 4. Social: All data at the plot level in the technology park 5. Human: All data at the plot level in the technology park Research team and responsibilities 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Jummai Yila: Gender 8. Bougouna Sogoba: agronomist Farming systems research perspective (how this work links with others) The technology parks are the sites for technological innovation, demonstration and capacity building. Best -bet technological innovations will be scaled-up to farmers fields through farmers exchange visits and implementation of trials at farmers field. Hence technology parks are considered as ideal sites where scaling works start. Estimated fund requirement ICRISAT $ 174580, AMEDD $ 29000, FENABE 29000 Birhanu Zemadim: activity leader Felix Badolo: economist Mahamadou Dicko: social scientist Jean-Baptiste Tignegre: Vegetable breader Oumar Samake: AMEDD project manager Tumaini Sidibe: FENABE focal person

Objectives • Conducting integrated and multi-disciplinary research and scaling strategy on sustainable intensification program § Rainfed § Irrigated • A research hub for validating Africa RISING technologies and new innovations for wider dissemination through capacity building and short-term training programs • Provide a site for multi-stakeholders interest group meetings • Provision of information concerning proven technological practices and climate services. • Provision of high-quality agricultural inputs (plant material, fertilizer etc. ), and climate-smart water access facilities.

Procedures • Implementing research activities and targeting dissemination strategies of best management practices. • Expected to reach 2, 514 households through research and capacity building activities in the year 2018/2019. • Identified best-bet technologies would be scaled to approximately 11, 752 households through development actors who are working with Africa RISING program. • The socio-economy group will monitor the adoption of identified technologies in farmers’ fields and conduct continuous monitoring and evaluation on the five sustainable intensification domains. • In each technology park, a farmer field day will be organized to bring farmers together and create an opportunity to discuss the types of technologies introduced, the relevance and challenges among the farmer groups.
