1. Site selection: Quick start-up process 1."rough" delineation and stratification a. wheat growing areas in the highlands (>10% woreda cultivated area) b. AGP woredas c. successful HABP/PSNP/SLM woredas (Suzanne?) d. national research centre, engagement, or identified potential (Adefres) 2.map potential "early sites 3.quick scoring/voting of nominated sites (Plenary)

5. Longer term process Site selection working group: - National development priorities (MoA?) - National research priorities (EIAR?) - Livestock, crop, NRM, tree, water.. specialists - USAID representation - Technical support Can we agree membership today? Can we identify technical support skills locally? Is this/should this be an activity coordinated by the M&E team?

6. Longer term process 1Decide who will do the site selection 2Decide what a site is 3Decide on criteria to be used in different selection steps ( then what specific dataset to use for each criteria, and what specific threshold or cutoff values for criteria ranges) 4Define the target zone 5Spatial stratification and selection of "sets of suitable sites" Sub-systems Sustainability index Intensification index crop-livestock-NRM integration potential "syndromes"? 6Review/Validation 7Scoring of potential sites representativeness out-scaling potential potential for demonstrating push-pull effect potential synergies with on-going work, previous work of other stakeholders potential synergies with CRPs potential to offer something that is not being offered by others potential for collaboration with NARS potential for impact Potential for linking with private sector existing applicable/adaptable technologies human capacity engagement with the local communities presence of extension services existing farmer organisations, CBOs, 8Agreement on final set of sites 9Start implementation of the project
