Abstract |
In-depth case research among 5 successful AIPs illustrate how research and development continuum can be achieved seamlessly. Through a competitive grant scheme (CGS), 13 development organisations applied innovative complementary approaches (e.g. ICT, media, collective action, marketing) to scale SIMLESA portfolios. They triggered innovation targeted to achieve at least 15% (about 440,940) adoption among those reached. This built upon AIP achievements, which include sustainable spill-over benefits and equitable sharing. In Rwanda, research-guided transformative investments through AIPs were catalysed by policy (instruments) and national coordination of rural agricultural programmes. |
