Continue to monitor the development of the learning alliances initiated in all of the sites in 2013/14, which legitimated and defined the contextual entry point for an innovation platform to be initiated within each site. Parse out relevant actors from the learning alliance in order to create a working committee that is charged with research aimed at understanding and uncovering effective processes for innovation to proceed as well as issues related to 'capacity to innovate', specific gender related outcomes, and delivery of objectives, outputs and outcomes that are defined by the innovation system (actors engaged in the innovation platform); • Establishment of innovation platforms at sub-national level in five sites across the four countries, to address social, institutional, organizational and technical barriers to innovation • Augment (or build where required) facilitation capacity within national partner institutions through action learning (experiential learning, mentoring/coaching) • Cross-country reflection and learning, with specific attention to the contribution of research to development in each of the sites. • Document the implementation and outcomes of the work in the four countries, with synthesis of cross-country learning This initiative is closely tied together with Post-Harvest and Market Access and High Value Chain Cluster activities.
