[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 09:59:58 07/24/09
In this video Nalaka Gunawardene of TVE Asia Pacific looks to how new media tools should be used to communicate development. He highlights the need for a wide-based discussion around which tools and platforms should be used when talking about development. He recognises the new media has the potential of bringing more 'voices' to the table, but to make sure these voices are heard researchers, academics and policy-makers (among others) must be willing to join existing debates around this topic.

Maize Innovation in Rwanda: Increasing farmers' livelihoods

[LESS INFO] 5 VIEWS | ADDED 07:08:48 07/03/09
Maize innovation Platform celebrates its first birthday in Rwanda's Eastern province. Maize is an important staple crop in Rwanda with the potential for export if production can be significantly increased. Here we report on how the DFID funded Research into use Programme is working with a network of local partners to achieve that aim through a Maize Innovation Platform in Rwanda’s Eastern Province. Gahne Jringhica farms one hectare of land sown with maize in the Nagartare district of Rwanda’s Eastern province. Like 83% of Rwanda’s working population he lives in a rural area and survives on subsistence agriculture. This year, thanks to improved yields of Maize, he has for the first time, been able to send his children to school erect a semi–permanent dwelling and purchase a cow.

Following the ILAC meeting on impact evaluation for institutional learning and change at the CGIAR AGM, Sheelagh O’Reilly of the Research Into Use Programme elaborated on the notion that researchers are sometimes reluctant to ‘let go’ of their outputs for others to adapt and re-use. Yet, to achieve the desired public goods and the uptake of the outputs, this approach needs to change. Interview by Peter Ballantyne, December 2008
