This document summarizes 20 existing co-creation platforms. It describes different types of co-creation such as clubs of experts, crowds of people, coalitions of parties, and communities of kindred spirits. Key principles of successful co-creation are inspiring participation, selecting the best ideas and people, connecting creative minds, sharing results, and continuing development. Platforms are compared based on parameters like number of people involved, frequency of interaction, competition level, project duration, and return for participants. The goal is to learn from existing examples of co-creation between industries, governments, and consumers.Strengthening developing-country seed systems and markets. Policy trade-offs,...

A survey of Hoosiers found that while most are willing to take risks and support innovation, many companies lack resources to explore new ideas. The top barriers to innovation were lack of funds, uncertain demand, and high costs. While over half of companies have resources to help innovation, few partner with colleges or use available tax credits. There is also a communication gap between CEOs who believe their culture fosters innovation, and staff who are less confident in support for risks, failures, and rewards for creativity. Technology businesses were most positive about innovation.ICRISAT Global Planning Meeting 2019: Modernising Crop Improvement II (AVISA...

This document summarizes a presentation about a project called the East Africa Dairy Development (EADD) project. The EADD project aims to transform the lives of smallholder dairy farmers in East Africa by doubling their household dairy incomes over 10 years. It has mobilized over 160,000 farmers in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda into cooperative groups. Through these groups, farmers have gained access to markets, inputs, and technical assistance. As a result, farmer incomes have increased by 150-754% depending on the country. The project establishes "Dairy Hubs" which are centers that connect farmers to buyers, inputs, financial services and more in a way that creates a virtuous cycle for all.Context-specific validation and introduction of technologies for sustainable ...

This document summarizes a workshop on groundnut improvement programs in West and Central Africa. It finds that while groundnut is an important cash crop, production and exports from the region have declined in recent decades due to problems like aflatoxin contamination, low yields, and biotic and abiotic stresses. The breeding program aims to develop improved varieties to boost productivity and incomes. Key findings note positive aspects like collaboration with national programs and technology transfer efforts, but also areas needing improvement such as increasing program scale, staffing, and use of tools like Breeding Management Systems. Recommendations include strengthening ties with other programs, hiring more specialized staff, and investing in seed processing infrastructure.Policy: Inclusion, empowerment, and the social impact of Ecuadors native pot...

The IPMS project adopted a participatory market oriented commodity value chain approach to implement Ethiopia's strategy of transforming subsistence agriculture into a more commercial system. The approach involved diagnosing farming systems and marketable commodities in 10 districts, designing interventions for production, agribusiness, and marketing, and building knowledge and capacity. Interventions included awareness campaigns, dairy value chain development, knowledge management through training and documentation, and monitoring and evaluation. The project helped develop more commercially oriented agriculture and alternative input and service delivery systems at the district level while also building capacity at regional and federal levels. Main lessons indicated continuous engagement is needed to further production and support regional/federal systems for inputs, processing, andUsing stakeholder platforms to enhance local innovations in the livestock sec...

This document discusses the need for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in agriculture in Bihar, India. It notes that agriculture is facing challenges from globalization, changing consumer preferences, and other factors. There has been a shift from staple crops to higher-value crops and more focus on entire food supply chains and rural development. PPPs are seen as crucial for improving access to new technologies, research, infrastructure, markets and financing. The roles of government, private sector and civil society in partnerships need clarification. PPPs could benefit farmers through better seeds, extension services, yields and market access. Areas of potential corporate involvement include contract farming and ensuring supply and marketing chains. Success will depend on addressing issues likeBackground and approach ipms project

The document describes the background and approach of the IPMS project in Ethiopia. The project aimed to transition subsistence agriculture to a more market-oriented system through a participatory, commodity value chain approach. The approach was tested in 10 districts and involved (1) diagnosing farming systems and marketable commodities, (2) implementing production, knowledge, and marketing interventions, and (3) monitoring and evaluating outcomes. Key results included strengthened capacity of farmers, service providers, and value chain actors; operational linkages between stakeholders; and a transition to more commercially-oriented and knowledge-driven agricultural development. Lessons indicated the need for continuous engagement and involvement of new actors to further increase production and market integration.Maziwa Zaidi: From impact pathways to theory of change

This document discusses the challenges of animal performance recording in low-input livestock systems. It outlines several key challenges: (1) No or inappropriate data recording systems that are too complex and demanding on farmers; (2) Weak institutional frameworks and lack of support systems for farmers; (3) Poor infrastructure like roads, power, and ICT; and (4) Cultural beliefs and low literacy levels that conflict with recording. However, the document notes that new technologies now offer opportunities to tackle these challenges through smart use of ICT, cheap sensors, and participatory community-based approaches.2.

This document discusses regulations in the Indian seed sector and how to balance regulations with enabling innovation and access. It notes that current seed systems have limited innovation at scale, ineffective efforts to increase demand and uptake of improved varieties, and fragmented value chains. The goal is to modernize the role of seed delivery to farmers to accelerate varietal turnover, quality seed use, and realization of genetic gains. However, it warns that policy and regulatory costs can reduce the seed sector's value and growth if regulations are too ambitious or not fit for purpose. It suggests some global regulatory trends and questions whether India's seed policies and regulations are still relevant and achieving their desired effects.Public Private Partnership for Artificial Insemination (PAID): Improving gene...

The document summarizes an evaluation of the impact of Farmer Field Schools (FFS) on sustainable tea production in Kenya. The evaluation analyzed the effects of FFS training on the sustainability, profitability, and adoption of good agricultural practices by tea farmers. Key findings were that FFS farmers had significantly more knowledge than non-FFS farmers, implemented good practices more often, and perceived increases in welfare and income. Additionally, the FFS approach helped strengthen farmer cooperation and learning. The program was then scaled up, training more farmers and resulting in increased incomes across involved farms and certification of more factories under sustainability standards.Less sticks, more carrots: New directions for improving food safety in inform...

CIALCA aims to deliver agricultural knowledge to farmers in the African Great Lakes region through impact pathways. Their goal is direct and measurable change in farmer livelihoods from their research. They expect to positively impact at least 50,000 households across mandate areas containing 8.5 million people. CIALCA is moving from a linear knowledge transfer approach to participatory approaches that place farmers' knowledge and priorities at the center. They are focusing on partnerships, communication channels, and understanding how impact is achieved through impact pathways. Recommendations include institutionalizing impact pathways in project design and evaluating lessons learned to improve innovation system approaches.Wairegi - Exploring the scope of fertilizer use in the East African region

Gender board diversity and firm performanceGRAPE
油
We study the effects of gender board diversity on firm performance. We use novel and rich firm-level data covering over seven million private and public firms spanning the years 1995-2020 in Europe. We augment a standard TFP estimation with a shift-share instrument for gender board diversity. We find that increasing the share of women in the boardroom is conducive to better economic performance. The results prove robust in a variety of subsamples, and to a variety of sensitivity analyses. This outcome is driven primarily by firms from the service sector. The positive impact was stronger during the more recent years of our sample that is a period with relatively more board diversity.

A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is essential for anyone making business decisions, managing projects, or creating policies. It helps you evaluate how much something will cost versus the benefits you expect to gain so you can make smarter, more informed choices.
This guide will show you how to quickly conduct a cost-benefit analysis, considering an investment, a new project, or a policy change.
What is a Cost-Benefit Analysis?
A cost-benefit analysis compares a decision's costs with its benefits to determine whether the benefits are worth the costs. This process is helpful when resources are limited, and you want to make sure you are making the best decision for the future.
Example: Imagine your company is thinking about buying new software. A cost-benefit analysis would compare the price of the software to the benefits, like more productivity, lower labor costs, or better customer service. If the benefits are higher than the costs, the investment makes sense.
Step 1: Identify and List All Costs
Sometime recently, you can calculate the benefits, you are required to list all the costs included. These are coordinated or backhanded, short-term or long-term. Begin by composing down each conceivable cost.
Direct Costs: These are easy to identify because they're directly tied to the project, such as buying equipment or paying for materials.
Indirect Costs: These are secondary expenses, like administrative costs or the time needed for training.
Recurring Costs: These are ongoing costs, like maintenance or subscription fees.
Opportunity Costs: Consider what you're missing out on by choosing this option instead of another.
Example: In the software case, direct costs include the price of the software and the cost of installation and training. Indirect costs could be employees' time learning how to use the new software.
Step 2: Identify and List All Benefits
Now that you've listed all the costs, you must consider the benefits. These can be tangible (easy to measure) or intangible (more challenging but still meaningful).
Tangible Benefits: These are measurable in financial terms, like increased revenue or cost savings.
Intangible Benefits: These might be improved employee morale or customer satisfaction.
Example: The computer program might bring significant benefits, like higher productivity or diminished labor costs. Intangible benefits include ways to improve group resolve or progress client advantage.
Step 3: Quantify Costs and Benefits
Once you've identified the costs and benefits, the next step is to assign a dollar amount to each one. Some benefits, especially intangibles, may be hard to quantify, but giving them a realistic value is essential. Base your estimates on reliable data, like industry standards or expert advice.
Example: If the software costs $10,000 to purchase and $1,000 per year for maintenance, and it's expected to save $15,000 annually in labor costs, the return on investment is easily visible.HBS Study examines which freelance groups ChatGPT and AI is replacing on onli...
