1 Putting nitrogen fixation to work for smallholder farmers in Africa Outlines of Project Implementation/Activity Planning/Data tools Scaling Chickpea Technologies Project Launch and Planning Workshop By Endalkachew Wolde-meskel (PhD) & Birhan Abdulkadir (MSc) N2Africa – Ethiopia International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), POBox 5689, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 15 April, 2015, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

2 Putting nitrogen fixation to work for smallholder farmers in Africa 1- …Woreda(s) (3 kebeles/Woreda) 1- 3 FTDG (s)/Kebele = 40-120 Farmers/kebele A total of 8 FTDG of 40 farmers each/ demo = 320 farmers/Woreda Total # of farmers reached per Woreda = 320 i.e. this does not include farmers reached via training and field days Partners EIAR ARARI OARI Hwu Legumes Faba bean Chick pea Common bean Soybean 1 3 4 2 Farmers tech. dissm. Group (FTDG) FTDG (Farmers technology dissemination group) discusses the tech. shares experiences, & later the seeds (FTC) 2 3 4 5 401 K1K1 K2K2 K3K3 Demonstration -The Demo (FTDG) consists of 40 select Farmers (includes the owner of the plot). These are selected from the kebele (NARS, BoA, DAs, Kebele Admin.) -On spot Training to be given initially to this group. -Groups to meet 4 times in the season (including on spot training session, planting and 3 evaluations/learning events). 24 23 … 22 =40Farmers/FTDG =40 farmers/kebele or 120 farmers if 3 FTDG/kebele Implementation Approach

3 Putting nitrogen fixation to work for smallholder farmers in Africa Objectives: 1.To improve and strengthen the production, distribution and use of effective rhizobium strains and NPS fertilizer for chickpea production 2.To improve the production, distribution and packaging of quality Kabuli chickpea seed for small holder farmers 3.To establish feasible and sustainable partnership between chickpea value chain actors 4.To establish demo plots, train smallholder farmers, experts, development agents and other chickpea value chin actors on improved chickpea production technologies, marketing and household utilization..\Planning -Template.xlsx..\Planning -Template.docx..\Planing Project Plan of Activities-Template.pptx
