Spatial analysis for investment targeting: pilot tool
In order to better measure resilience, and to better understand and target investment that will enhance resilience, the Technical Consortium is developing a pilot spatial tool. The purpose of this resilience modeling tool ...
The creation of a household resilience index using limited data from the IGAD region
Given that data in the Horn of Africa is limited, one is more likely to obtain relatively complete data when using a model comprised of a more limited set of targeted indicators. In this way, a model of resilience should ...
Develop MAGIC and biparental populations following SSD (2) Phenotyping of populations for target traits
Seed increase is in progress of 3000 F6 generation MAGIC lines derived from the crosses involving the parents, ICGV 91114, ICGV 06040, 55-437, ICGV 00440, ICGV 00308, GPBD 4, ICGV 05155 and ICGV 88145. RIL population derived ...
Modeling potential livestock losses and vulnerability due to drought in the IGAD region
The Horn of Africa is predominantly comprised of arid or semi-arid lands, and is a naturally drought-prone region. With increasing pastoral or agro-pastoral land use, the environment and pastoral communities in this region ...
The development of baseline datasets, indicator selection and analytics to assess the impact of investment for IGAD member states
The activities detailed in this report form part of the work necessary to provide
a foundation upon which to develop these tools. In addition to providing the
IGAD member states with baseline datasets and appropriate ...
The application of decision analysis modelling for investment targeting
In June of 2013, the Technical Consortium for Building Resilience in the Horn of Africa (TC) hosted a three-day workshop to convene key experts. The purpose of this meeting was to further examine the potential for application ...
Assessing resilience to drought: defi ning drought and reviewing trends in the Horn of Africa
As a focus area of the Technical Consortium is to assess the resilience of populations to drought, one has to have a clear definition of “drought.” Climatologists identify three different types of drought: (1) meteorological ...
Preliminary review of datasets to inform the development of IGAD member state baselines
The activities detailed in this report form part of the work necessary to provide a foundation upon which to develop these tools. The TC aims to provide the IGAD member states with baseline datasets and appropriate ...
Integrated crop-rangeland-livestock management to improve system productivity and to build resilience of agro-pastoral systems in semi-arid North Kordofan in Sudan – ARC Scientists visit
ICRISAT and ARC El Obeid, Sudan under the “Increased effectiveness of agro-pastoral management, watershed management and sustainable intensification of wheat - legume systems” initiative tested a number of sorghum, pearl ...
Evaluation of local and introduced soybean varieties for response to soybean rust pathogen across soybean production ecologies of east and southern Africa
Soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi has emerged as a major threat to
soybean production in Africa due to its rapid spread across the continent, as spores can
easily be dispersed by winds. Control has mainly been ...
