SECTIONS ON SITE INTEGRATION
Proposal
Vol. I
2017-2022
July 2016 i|PageRTB CRP Full Proposal 2017–2022 (revised version, July 2016)
be implemented to understand key constraints and opportunities affecting the differential participation
of women and men in RTB value chains and technology innovation. It will seek ways to make participation
more equitable and effective, leading to larger scale development outcomes. Foresight, as well as ex-ante
and ex-post studies, will instill an impact culture to better align RTB research with outcomes and ensure
value for money. FP5 will guide and backstop the implementation of the “AFS innovation and scaling
fund”, which facilitates systems integration among FPs and with other AFS-CRPs.
All FPs contain one or more crosscutting clusters; FP5 is predominantly crosscutting. Under FP5 research
is conducted to develop new tools and methods jointly with other clusters. They provide methodological
support to and spaces for shared learning with other clusters, both inside the same FP and across other
FPs.
Flagship and cluster business cases were laid out during 2014/15 and subjected to an intensive external
review process in May/June 2015. Detailed feedback informed the feasibility of each cluster and their
integration into FPs as well as the RTB program structure as such. Although reviewers found business
cases generally solid, they drew attention to gaps and inconsistencies that led to ongoing reformulation
of the cluster and FP descriptions and their incorporation into this proposal. The reviews (1) highlighted
the absence of a sweetpotato cluster in FP2, with all other crops represented (this was subsequently
included in the current version of this flagship); (2) pointed up the need to take a broader approach in
FP4, considering the contribution of RTB crops as healthy functional foods; and (3) proposed that FP3 be
framed so as to better reflect the broader work on crop management aspects.
1.0.7 CROSS CRP COLLABORATION AND SITE INTEGRATION
RTB is vigorously pursuing collaboration with other AFS-CRPs both where their commodities form an
integral part of RTB cropping systems, such as legumes intercropped with cassava (with DCL), or where
RTB crops contribute as companions in another AFS, such as potato as a rotation crop with rice (with RICE).
This type of collaboration forms a key element of FP2–FP4.
In addition, broader collaboration with other AFS-CRPs, guided by FP5, is planned at the livelihood level;
considering, for example, transitions into more diverse sets of enterprises and inter-household linkages
at the community and landscape levels.
To leverage best practices across CRPs and greater contribution to SRF targets, as well as stimulate
interdisciplinary research, RTB will link with all GI-CRPs:
Policies, Institutions and Markets (PIM) for complementary approaches to value chain analysis and
development
Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), with shared evidence base and advocacy for adoption of
RTB varieties with higher levels of micronutrients
CCAFS, models, and metrics for climate-sensitive breeding, and pest and disease modeling under
climate change scenarios
Water, Land and Ecosystem (WLE) for wastewater utilization linked to cassava processing, and for
integration into improvement of ecosystem services.
FP5 and the other AFS-CRPs (i.e., DCL, FISH, MAIZE, RICE, WHEAT, LIVESTOCK, and FTA) open a new space
for collaboration where RTB crops can be rotations, intercropped, or used as sources of feed.
FP1 will interact closely with the Genebanks and Genetic Gains Platforms to best utilize new technologies,
sources of genetic diversity, information, and databases to enhance breeding programs. Likewise, the cluster
on gender-equitable development and youth employment in FP5 (CC5.3) will work closely with the gender
26 | P a g eRTB CRP Full Proposal 2017–2022 (revised version, July 2016)
coordinating platform to share and synthesize knowledge on how gender inequalities affect agri-food
systems, and to understand the approaches and tools required to improve equitable access to RTB
innovations.
Annex 6 gives further details of collaboration between RTB and other CRPs and the new CGIAR-wide
proposed platforms.
A key dimension in the SRF and the CGIAR second-phase portfolio is the increased integration across the
CRPs and a strengthened ability to work with a wide range of partners and stakeholders in achieving key
development goals. RTB is fully committed to and will designate funding for site integration countries of
highest priority, linked to a proposed “AFS innovation and scaling fund” (see Section 2: FP5) for RTB crops.
Site integration meetings were held in the final quarter of 2015 for countries identified as highest priority
(++ Site) and in 2016 for second-level priority (+ Sites). It is important to bear in mind that these priority
countries are not intended to exclude other countries that are also critical for RTB deliverables. RTB is
setting up a “AFS innovation and scaling fund” for Phase II that will support collaboration across CRPs at
different levels of scale, with a particular focus on the site integration countries.
RTB’s PMU has worked closely with each of the prioritized site integration processes (see Table 6),
providing co-funding and designating RTB focal points across all participating centers. These processes
represent an opportunity to:
Support dialogue and engagement with partners and stakeholders to understand and align with the
national priorities and actions (i.e., demand for RTB research and also evidence-based advocacy where
national priorities are inappropriate).
Get closer to RTB partners in the CGIAR system (i.e., other CGIAR centers, CRPs) for strengthening
collaboration across crops/commodities and with the relevant GI-CRPs in that country.
Identify specific opportunities for integration into other CRPs where RTB could move ahead (e.g., work
on sweetpotato silage or cassava waste utilization with LIVESTOCK).
Provide input to organize an inventory of interventions by geography in the country and explore
possibilities of focusing efforts in particular sites where co-location, shared services/research activities,
and even staff could make sense.
Provide a space to link impact pathways of RTB with those of the other CRPs.
1.0.8 PARTNERSHIPS AND COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE
Under RTB, the expertise of CGIAR and French organizations that had been dispersed across individual
centers was brought together to exploit several comparative advantages: (1) scientific capacity in human
resources and research infrastructure; (2) individual center’s capacity to act as conveners and facilitators
across national boundaries, and as an “honest broker” to assemble a broad range of public, private, and
development organizations; and (3) access to well-characterized global germplasm collections of major RTB
crops. Phase I built on this comparative advantage by establishing a common umbrella to expand
partnerships and capacity for crosscutting synergistic work relating to (1) their status as crops of the poor
and the implications for poverty reduction and nutrition; (2) predominant roles of women in value chains;
(3) vegetative propagation as related broadly to seed systems and to breeding systems; and (4)
commonalities in post-harvest management, including transportation, storage, and processing.
RTB, as a program with high scientific capability and global outreach in developing countries, has a
comparative advantage and key pivotal role in integrative research generating international public goods,
which would otherwise not be delivered by NARES, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), universities,

http://gcard3.cgiar.org/national-consultations/bangladesh/ participated to discuss future collaboration, especially the
potential for expanding the role of potato in cereal-based systems.
This was followed up by CIP’s organization of an international
workshop on potato agriculture in February 2016, at which IRRI
and CIMMYT staff were represented.
The workshop held in February focused on sustainable
intensification and diversification of cereal-based systems and it
set the groundwork for cross-CRP collaboration.

also focuses in these overlapping locations.
Strong collaboration by RTB with BRAC, an international NGO
based in Bangladesh for implementation of potato and
sweetpotato projects. They also provide a common NGO platform
through which RTB also collaborates with AAS and Worldfish and
other organizations operating in Bangladesh.
Even before the Consortium-driven integration process, RTB
through CIP has been a member of a CGIAR coordination group
linked to their common implementation of Feed the Future
projects. Outside of meetings convened through USAID, RTB has
also participated in multi-lateral coordination meetings led by the
biggest CGIAR Centers (Worldfish and IRRI). CIP has worked with
Worldfish to expand the area of the OFSP and vegetables to
integrated homestead systems involving fish ponds.
