1.  Value Proposition
 Systems Framework
 Program Coherence
 Potential for Impact
 Monitoring and Evaluation
 Portfolio Management
Requirements for Phase II

2. Rural Poverty and Drylands
Integrator of Commodity and NRM CRP’s
Science of Sustainable Intensification and
Resilience in Dryland Systems
Value Proposition

3. The Science: system diagnosis, trade-offs, system
performance, resilience
System integration for impact: system leverage
points vs moving beyond conservation agriculture
Scaling within a systems framework: managing
heterogeneity and integrating process and
intensification techniques
Systems Framework

4. Not just five regional programs
Integrating research questions
Common methods
A framework for synthesis
Prioritizing, quality management, sequencing
Program Coherence

5. Theory of Change: how to achieve program
impact (Drylands and flagship)
Scaling strategy: within action site, within region
Methods for disseminating system outputs
M&E and understanding farmer adoption
Potential for Impact

6. Integrates with program structure and program
strategy
Hierarchical: Action site, flagship, Drylands
Process monitoring: IP’s, scaling, action site
implementation
Experimental and quasi-experimental methods
Monitoring and Evaluation

7. Managing bilateral projects within a program
structure: flagship and CRP level
Joint resource mobilization
Allocation of W1/W2 funds
Portfolio Management
