What did some of our key stakeholders tell us?

We are delighted to be able to share a stakeholder evaluation report produced by strategy consulting firm Firetail as part of our project ‘Leaping and Learning: Strategies for Taking Agricultural Successes to Scale’ funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the UK’s Department for International Development.

A4I commissioned Firetail to interview stakeholders who represented the intended users of the Leaping and Learning project outputs both in donor countries and Sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of these discussions was to explore how the materials could be developed to ensure they were of maximum value to stakeholders and the sector as a whole. 25 interviews were conducted between 2^nd February and 9^th March 2012.

The overall aim of the Leaping and Learning programme is to provide development partners with access to independent, evidence-based recommendations that set out practical policy options and approaches for scaling up smallholder agricultural development in sub-Saharan Africa to ensure food and nutrition security and overall poverty reduction.
