MAIZE – Agri-food System CRP Plan of
Work and Budget 2021 (POWB)
Name of the CRP: AFS- CRP Maize
Name of the Lead CGIAR Center: CIMMYT
Flagship lead institutions (CGIAR Centers or lead partners):
Flagship 1: Enhancing MAIZE's R4D Strategy for Impact
Flagship 2: Novel Diversity and Tools for Increasing Genetic Gains
Flagship 3: Stress Tolerant and Nutritious Maize
Flagship 4: Sustainable intensification of maize-based systems for
improved smallholder livelihoods
Other participating CGIAR Centers (with PPA): IITA
1Led by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), with the International
Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) as its main CGIAR Consortium partner, The CGIAR Agri-food
Research Program MAIZE focuses on increasing maize production for the 900 million poor
consumers for whom maize is a staple food in Africa, South Asia and Latin America. MAIZE’s specific
goal is to increase incomes and food security for poor maize producers and consumers while
enhancing the sustainability of maize-based production systems and the natural resource base.
MAIZE will ensure that technological and institutional innovations are developed, tested and
deployed to enable profitable and equitable integration of small-scale maize producers and
processors in the expanding maize value chains.
The CGIAR Research Program on Maize thanks to all donors and organizations who globally
supported its work through their contributions to the CGIAR System: receives support from W1&W2
donors which includes the Governments of Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, India, Japan,
Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K., U.S., and the World
Bank.

31_Adjustments/ Changes to your Theories of Change (max. 500 words)
No new adjustments planned, however adjustments initiated in 2019 will continue in 2021 (FP3:
Continue to update Theory of Change and Impact Pathway (ToC & IP) , investigate new partnerships
in Southeast Asia. FP4: CoA 4.2 leadership of that cluster and synthesis work is sub-granted to
Wageningen University).
The combination of OneCGIAR design & implementation actions*, CRPs closure preparations* and
Covid19 impacts on staff and partner capacity may adversely affect MAIZE performance (outputs,
outcomes). Some 2020 milestones and deliverables will only be achieved in 2021 and MAIZE granted
a number of no-cost extensions to partners (under MAIZE Partner Budget), whilst W1&2 funds must
be spent by end-of-2021. MAIZE cannot add staff (via Centers) to increase capacity, apart from ad
hoc consultancies. In this context, it is worth reminding ourselves that the CGIAR never undertook
a systematic exercise to determine the one-year-shorter-Phase II's impact on the CRPs and
Platforms' 2022 milestones and deliverables.
As last year, one CGIAR funder will deploy $0.98M as W3, aligned to the multi-year AGG project
(bilateral) that spans maize and wheat research in SSA and S Asia - effectively moving these funds
out of the MAIZE-MC zone of control.
MAIZE-MC expects Mexican support to maize research in Mexico and Central America to remain at
2020 levels (e.g. significantly lower than during 2012-2019), so adjustments implemented during
2020 should hold steady.
*By 15th January 2021, there is still no agreed step-by-step, detailed and comprehensively documented process for
CRPs/Platforms closure and transition into new modalities, in particular with regard to core business matters of keeping
staff onboard, final (annual) progress reporting and adequately flexible financial rule.
2_Plans and Expected Progress Towards Outcomes (max. 2000 words)
More so than in 2020, some MAIZE scientist and project manager time will go towards inputs,
coordination and communication concerning One CGIAR implementation (Initiatives design by
Technical Advisory Teams; how to set up and manage Initiatives; Performance Management
Framework detailing), which may adversely affect delivery of 2021 outputs and outcomes.
Whether some MAIZE Flagships - or all? - will be incorporated into so-called fast-tracked CGIAR
Initiatives or not, MAIZE-MC anticipates that some CRP-specific closure activities will be delivered in
1st quarter 2022 (see also SC11 Financial Plan document, p.3, item VII concerning accruals), with a
focus on documenting and making easily and permanently available MAIZE outputs and outcomes.
FP1:
In 2021 MAIZE FP1 will focus on synthesis/learning and new initiatives/resource mobilization. This
will both highlight the progress made under CRP MAIZE over the years and position strategic, follow-
up research-for-development in relation to maize and agri-food systems (AFS) for the post-CRP
years. In particular, the learnings from MAIZE FP1 will be instrumental in contributing to the design
several OneCGIAR initiatives. The 2021 FP1 work will revolve around the 4 clusters of activity:
1. Foresight & targeting portfolio for MAIZE AFS;
2. Adoption/Impact and Learning portfolio in MAIZE AFS;
3. Gender, Youth and Social Inclusion portfolio in MAIZE AFS;
4. Market/Value Chain portfolio in MAIZE AFS.
Each cluster will thereby deliver:
• Substantive contributions and a role secured in at least 1 new OneCGIAR initiative and
4additional bilateral projects in relation to maize AFS for 2022+;
• Synthesis knowledge products under MAIZE AFS;
• Various strategic manuscripts in relation MAIZE AFS (for journal submission).
FP2:
• Improve experimental methods by validating new methodologies: Sparse phenotyping; on-farm
regional evaluation trials.
• Application of environmental Genome-wide Association Studies and environmental Genomic
Selection, as well as generating genotyping and bioinformatics pipelines to support Genomic
Selection applications. Continue to work on integration of validated breeder-ready
markers/haplotypes for priority traits.
• Continue to improve genetic gain by increasing population size and selection intensity through
deployment of cost-effective markers for major diseases & by shortening cycle time and saving
testing resources through application of genomic selection.
• Discover novel diversity for Fall Armyworm and maize lethal necrosis (MLN) resistance based on
gene editing.
• Finalize implementation of a centralized breeding data management system and associated, used
by MAIZE and national agricultural research systems (NARS) breeders and researchers.
FP3:
CoA 3.1: Developing and deploying elite climate-resilient maize varieties in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia
and Latin America, including key traits relevant for smallholders, such as tolerance to drought and
heat, and resistance to diseases (e.g., MLN, Fusarium stalk rot), insect-pests (especially Fall
Armyworm; FAW), parasitic weeds (e.g., Striga), and other relevant agronomic and adaptive “must-
have” and “emerging” traits identified in different product profiles. Breeding for native genetic
resistance to FAW will be intensified in Africa, besides South Asia. A new set of elite CIMMYT maize
lines (CMLs) will be released in the first quarter and seed will be disseminated to interested partners
globally, as an international public good.
To rapidly increase genetic gains in maize breeding pipelines, the FP3 team will use maker-assisted
forward breeding and genomic selection/prediction, in combination with doubled haploidy, besides
high throughput and precise phenotyping for key traits, such as Gray leaf spot, Turcicum leaf blight,
and Fusarium ear rot. Three-season nurseries will be adopted across the breeding hubs to reduce
the breeding cycle time. A functional maize doubled haploid facility will be established in India to
serve the maize breeding programs of CIMMYT and partners in South Asia. The team will also
significantly expand the regional on-farm trial network and strengthen the methodology in
collaboration with NARS and development partners in the target geographies.
Capacity development of NARS partners on advanced breeding methodologies and stage-gate
testing will be integral to various work packages in MAIZE-FP3.
CoA 3.2: Intensify efforts to develop and deploy high-yielding, nutritionally enriched maize, including
provitamin A-enriched, high Zinc, and high-anthocyanins (blue maize) maize suitable for the tropics
of Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and South Asia, as biofortified maize is critical for improving
human nutrition and strengthen the immune response of populations (especially through high-Zinc)
during the Covid19 era. A catalog of consumer preferences for maize grain quality for maize product
profiles that target food consumption will be developed and applied.
CoA 3.3: Fall armyworm continues to be a major threat to maize production in Africa (since 2016)
and Asia (since 2018). MAIZE-FP3 team is at the forefront of devising and implementing integrated
pest management (IPM) strategies in both Africa and Asia. In 2021, the team will bring out a
5comprehensive IPM manual for FAW management in Asia and play a key role in implementation of
FAW Global Action Plan coordinated by FAO. The team will continue with the successful initiative of
curbing the spread and impact of MLN in Africa.
CoA 3.4: Validate and deploy high-throughput phenotyping tools for relevant abiotic and biotic
stresses in SSA, Asia and Latin America. In addition, protocols shall be standardized for screening
germplasm for post-flowering stalk rots (PFSR), a complex biotic challenge for maize farmers in
South Asia.
CoA 3.5: To support stage-gate product advancement process, seed production research will be
conducted on promising Stage-3 hybrids coming out of breeding pipelines. Product deployment
efforts will be strengthened through early generation breeder and pre-basic seed production.
Quality Assessment/Quality Control (QA/QC) of elite breeding lines, as well as hybrids is essential for
maintaining genetic purity and identity. QA/QC using molecular markers will be implemented across
different breeding pipelines in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and seed company partners will be
trained.
CoA 3.6: To generate data for stage-gate product advancement and to assess the genetic gains
under farmers conditions, whilst also determining farmers’ preferences, the team will implement
Regional On-farm Trials in SSA, Asia and Latin America, in close partnership with NARS and seed
company partners. CIMMYT maize germplasm impact in Latin America will be systematically
assessed and documented.
FP4:
Scientists work towards five 2022 outcomes. Planned key results are:
Most milestones are expected to be delivered by end of 2021. Specific attention will be given to
synthesis work and documenting lessons learned.
• Knowledge generated in this FP will be instrumental in contributing to the design of several One
CGIAR initiatives, including Excellence-in-Agronomy, Dry Arc, Crop Livestock Integration &
Mechanisation.
• Continue R4D about the impact of farming systems/crop diversity on rural population nutrition.
• Better targeting of agronomic interventions on acid soils guiding national investment plans in
Eastern and Southern Africa.
• Validate a strategic framework and business model of a consortium for specialty maize
commercialization.
• Continue to implement Crop Country Initiatives (called Integrated Agri-food Systems Initiatives;
Latin America)
• One major concern linked to the current Covid-19 pandemic is FP4’s inability to deliver on the
milestone of adoption assessment by conducting surveys.
CRPs-PMU:
In addition to routine CRP management, contribute to implementing One CGIAR components, in
collaboration with the Science Leader groups (DDG-R and CRP Leaders), in particular
o Manage closure and transition;
o Specific Initiatives design;
o Implementing the Performance and Results Management System;
o Supporting the -ISC in contributing to OneCGIAR implementation (future role and
positioning of independent scientific advice) and closing down.
63_Financial Plan for the coming year, including use of W1/2 (max. 500 words)
MAIZE will operate with $9.08M W1&2 budget, as advised in SC11-approved FinPlan, applying the
recommended 90% of SC-approved. CRP Management Budget will remain stable, with a max. $380k
in-year reserve (includes carry-over from 2020), to cover for 2022 CRP closure activities/spend.
MAIZE Partner Budget includes $1.428M carried-over (e.g. running) grants from 2020. The need to
carry over was mainly due to 2020 budget uncertainty (e.g. W2-to-@3 shift & FCDO) causing late
sub-grant agreements, or Covid19-induced no cost extensions. MAIZE-MC will agree to a maximum
of $100k new grants/partners in 2021 and has committed to close all partner grants by end Sept
2021.
IITA and CIMMYT-Research 2021 Budgets under the 4 FPs remain stable compared to 2020,
considering that during 2020 $0.98M USAID-W2 was converted into W3 and aligned with a large
bilateral project (AGG), effectively taking that budget out of MAIZE-MC sphere of control. We expect
carry-over per FP from 2020 to match number of extended milestones, or lower; final figures will not
be available before 31st January.
As a worst-case scenario, MAIZE anticipates Covid19 consequences-triggered delays in delivery (e.g.
extended or no cost extension for partners; reformulated/ changed; deleted/stopped) equivalent to
15-20% of all 2021 W1&2 work packages/budget, whilst catching up on most 2020 milestones &
deliverables. This assessment is based on two MAIZE and WHEAT surveys (Covid19 consequences'
impact on running partner grants & W1&2 work packages) and one CIMMYT survey performed in
2020. MAIZE-MC will be tracking milestone delivery progress closely.
