Enhancing RTB Impact Through Strategic Foresight and Collaboration
This document outlines a strategic initiative focused on enhancing the impact of the Roots, Tubers, and Bananas (RTB) program through systematic foresight, strategic assessments, and sustainable innovations. It highlights specific objectives such as improving program impact assessments, promoting equitable scaling of RTB innovations, and supporting sustainable delivery mechanisms. The structure, linkages with other Collaborative Research Programs (CRPs), and the importance of foresight and impact assessments in guiding investments are emphasized. Collaboration with various organizations is key to driving the RTB program's success.

Impact at Scale 2017-2022
CC5.1: Foresight and impact assessment Enhance RTB impact by guiding current and future investments of donors, policymakers, researchers, and other practitioners on major opportunities and threats for RTB innovations at crop and systems levels
Specific objectives are to 1. Enhance the impact of the RTB program through systematic foresight and strategic ex ante assessment and ex post impact assessments 2. Contribute to enable equitable scaling of RTB innovations among smallholders and other stakeholders in RTB value chains 3. Support the establishment of sustainable delivery mechanisms that allow for continuous improvement in terms of capacity to innovate, adaptation and dissemination of innovations
Linkages with other CRPs and site integration Partner CRP RTB-FP5.1: Foresight and impact assessment RTB provides: Foresight data and analysis related to RTB commodities Ex-ante assessments for RTB interventions and investments Impact of RTB seed system interventions which entail policy support RTB receives: Training on foresight analysis Global prospective on foresight modelling RTB provides: Projections & trends in technology impacts, production, consumption, and utilization of RTB crops POLICIES, INSTITUTIONS AND MARKETS (PIM) AG RICULTURE FOR NUTRITION AND HEALTH (A4NH) & POLICIES INSTITUTIONs AND MARKETS (PIM) RTB receives: Climate suitability maps Model insights in climate change vulnerability (environment x crop x livelihood) CCAFS
Linkages with other CRPs and site integration RTB provides: M&EL approaches and lessons RTB receives: Reducing impacts on forests and optimizing production in agro-forestry systems Foresight analysis RTB provides: Impact assessments of the value of genetic diversity and genebanks RTB receives: Enriched understanding of the contribution of genetic resources in the impact pathway INTER AFS COLLABORATION FTA Genebank Platform Big Data platform RTB provides: Data collected (HH data, crop response data, environmental data) Data analysis (HH typologies, drivers of adoption, technology targeting) Data collection tools RTB receives: Aggregated data collected Big data analysis tools Citizen science tools (incl. phone apps)
Results- based management strategy for RTB Purpose 1. improve program performance; 2. strengthen a results-oriented culture for the planning, managing and assessment of research for development interventions; 3. support adaptive management, organizational learning and informed decision-mmaking at all levels; 4. promote greater accountability, transparency and value for money.
Implementation within RTB RTB and flagship theories of change and impact pathways developed using a bottom-up approach. To stress the centrality of strong alliances with stakeholders, RTB started the development of ToCs at the cluster level involving cluster teams and partners. These results were then consolidated at the higher levels The set of nested ToCs and impact pathways serve as the CRP's hypotheses of the way change is expected to occur from output to outcome and impact. They constitute the backbone of the RTB s RBM framework.
