2nd Review and Planning Meeting 23-26 March 2015 Virtual Meeting: Workshop Website

Workshop Flow - Overview of Planning

The Livestock and Fish CGIAR Research Program phase 2 planning workshop is being conducted through a two part process. Initially conceived as a single conference, this has been rendered into an online format that will operate across wide ranging time zones. This necessitates more time for the findings of sessions to be processed to feed into subsequent ones, a measure that has consequently required that the event be stretched over more time. Part 1 deals with a review of the program’s work, of the context within which it operates, of opinions relating to key design features, and recommendations for research questions, approaches, model changes and theories of change. Part 2 deals with the first stage generation of ideas for Phase 2 CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish, and specific planning for the completion of the proposal preparation and submission. Delegates will be asked to commit some hours on each of 4 days for Part 1. These days coincide with the former planning event and associated travel time, and all who had agreed to attend will therefore have time to do so. Part 2 will be announced at the end of the month when clearer guidelines for the proposal submission process have been submitted by the Consortium Office.

PART I

Day 1: Introduction:

Video: Jimmy Smith - Message to participants (60 seconds) Video: Tom Randolph – Message to participants (2 minutes) Video: Stuart Worsley – Message to participants (2 minutes)

Day 1: The Flagship Review

Purpose: To document the performance, efficacy and dynamics of the flagships Process

• Flagship leaders present three slides on their flagships using graphics, words and lines.
• For each flagship, the three sides presented will answer 3 questions
• What is changing in your flagship space (what are the issues, dynamics and trends)?
• What changes (in the context) have been influenced by the flagship?
• How has the flagship performed so far:

What were the research outputs (what was produced)? What were the research outcomes (who did the flagship influence)? What were the development outcomes (what difference did that make to people)?

• Each flagship leader records a 3 to 5 minute audio clip to accompany the slides.
• Each workshop participant, at their own desk, views each presentation, and for each offers comments on a comment page. These comments may be stand alone, and may feed on one another to stimulate a set of nested comments around matters that arise from the presentations.
• After 18 hours, comments are closed, and are summarized by each flagship leader into a flagship comment document.
• All flagship comment documents are compiled into one document and places as the output of this session. (Summary Document 1)

Day 2: Flagship Review – Reflection and Discussion

Purpose: To respond to 5 questions, (see below) Process:

• Five questions are posed on five different comment boards
• Each question will be moderated by a board moderator

Question	Moderator
* What are the most important changes we need to respond to? * In what area are we having most effect? * What are we doing well? * What are we not doing well? * What do we need to do differently?	Iddo Dror Jens Peter Tang Dalsgaard Sue MacMillan Aynalem Hailler Stefan Burkart

Day 2: Global Livestock Review

Purpose: Document and summarize what is happening globally within the livestock (for development) sector Process

• Five topics will be presented by five presenters as follows

Topic	Moderator
* Animal Source Foods and human nutrition * Animal and fish agriculture, livelihoods and market opportunities * Animal and fish agriculture and social equity * Animal and fish agriculture and the environment * Animal and fish agriculture production and productivity	Isabelle Baltenweck Shirley Tarawali Maureen Miruka Mats Lannerstad

• Each presenter will prepare three slides using graphics, words and lines.
• The three sides will answer 3 questions

What are the big issues and trends in the developing world? Who is doing what, or proposing to do what? Around which issues should the program best position itself?

• Each presenter records a 3 to 5 minute audio clip to accompany the slides.
• Each workshop participant, at their own desk, views each presentation, and for each offers comments on a comment page. These comments may be stand alone, and may feed on one another to stimulate a set of nested comments around matters that arise from the presentations.
• After 18 hours, comments are closed, and are summarized by each presenter into a comment document per topic.
• All topic comment documents are compiled into one document and places as the output of this session. (Summary Document 3)

Day 3: Big Issues for Livestock and Fish Phase 2: Introduction

Three videos posted on the site Video: Jimmy Smith - Message to participants (60 seconds) Video: Michael Peters - Message to participants (3 minutes) Video: Keith Child - Message to participants (3 minutes)

Day 3: Big Issues for Livestock and Fish Phase 2: Opinion Pieces

Purpose: Identify big issues that need to be considered Process

• Four opinions will be presented by four presenters around the following questions

Question	Moderator
* Should intensification remain the core driver of livestock improvement initiatives with the CRP in its current form, and in some expanded form?	Michael Blummel
* Does the model of testing science in value chains work? Are there better ways in either of the future scenarios?	Amos Omore
* Where does research stop and development start? How far across the divide should we go?	Malcolm Dickson
* What should be the nature of focus that we may achieve results? How should we pursue this?	Barbara Rischkowsky

• Each presenter will prepare slides using graphics, words and lines.
• Each presenter records a 3 to 5 minute audio clip to accompany the slides.
• Each workshop participant, at their own desk, views each presentation, and for each offers comments on a comment page. These comments may be stand alone, and may feed on one another to stimulate a set of nested comments around matters that arise from the presentations.
• After 18 hours, comments are closed, and are summarized by each presenter into a comment document per question.
• All question comment documents are compiled into one document and places as the output of this session. (Summary Document 4)

Day 4: Big Issues for Livestock and Fish Phase 2: Identify and Prioritize

Purpose: Define recommendations on to four topics (see below) Process:

• Four topics are posed on four different comment boards. Each comment board has two different scenarios, namely

Scenario 1:The Livestock and Fish Program is similar to its current form; focus on value chains, intensification Scenario 2: The Livestock and Fish Program covers a global animal science agenda

Topic	Scenario 1	Scenario 2
Key research areas a new program should focus upon
Promising research to development approaches in the new Livestock and Fish program
Changes to the current model
Adjustments to our fundamental theory of change

• Summary document 2, 3 and 4 will be available for reading. Upon reading this, all participants are invited to go to each of the five comment boards and post up to 2 responses to the questions posed under each scenario
• After 18 hours, comments will be closed
• Stuart and Pat will summarize responses to the four topics by scenario into a single document (Summary Document 5)

Part I - Concluding Notes

At the end of this set of sessions, five summary documents will have captured matters as follows:

Summary 1	Summary of comments on flagship performance, efficacy and dynamics
Summary 2	Summary of response to key flagship questions * What are the most important changes we need to respond to? * In what area are we having most effect? * What are we doing well? * What are we not doing well? * What do we need to do differently?
Summary 3	Summary of what is happening globally within the livestock (for development) sector * ASFs and human nutrition * Animal and fish agriculture, livelihoods and market opportunities * Animal and fish agriculture and social equity * Animal and fish agriculture and the environment * Animal and fish agriculture production and productivity
Summary 4	Summary of comments on 4 opinions regarding * Intensification as a principle driver * Testing science in value chains * Research top development boundaries * What focus for results?
Summary 5	Summary of recommendations for * Key research areas a new Livestock and Fish CGIAR Research Program should focus upon * Promising research to development approaches in the new Livestock and Fish Program * Changes to the current model * Adjustments to our fundamental theory of change For each of two scenarios * Scenario 1: Livestock and Fish Program is similar to its current form; focus on value chains, intensification * Scenario 2: Livestock and Fish Program covers a global animal science agenda

Between this moment and the following stage, a period of between one and two weeks will pass.
