| Abstract |
Partners in the CGIAR Research Program on Wheat (WHEAT) reached intermediate development outcomes (IDOs) linked to SLO 1.1 (improved crops/methods adoption) and SLO 2.2 (increase yields) and identified the potential impact of achieving IDOs (ex ante studies) in all major WHEAT target regions. Related to this, WHEAT Management Committee approved an updated Impact Assessment Strategy – See Tables 1 & 2. Multi-year bilateral projects delivered improved income outcomes relating to SLO 2.1 (exit poverty) and SDG 1 (end poverty in all its forms) and several ex ante studies show the poverty reduction potential of interventions under WHEAT FP3 and FP4 – See Tables 1 & 2. WHEAT built new knowledge related to value chains (consumer demand, farmer adoption dynamics), climate smart agricultural practices (zero-till, water management and precision fertilizer) and nutritional quality (breeding for high zinc). The majority of 2018 innovations are at stage 3 (ready for uptake) – see MARLO Evidences Table of Innovations. |
