Annexes 3.1 Partnership Strategy OVERVIEW The CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) is the CGIAR research program (CRP) specifically designed to address the CGIAR System Level Outcome (SLO) on improving nutrition and health. In taking on this challenge, A4NH recognizes that transformative partnerships will be central for success. Transformative change is required to: • Forge cooperation between agriculture, nutrition, and health sectors based on the contributions that each sector can make to shared objectives; • Strengthen the capacity of national research organizations and scientists in these sectors to provide knowledge, evidence, and direction to multi-sectoral actions to achieve country, regional and global development goals; and • Build new relationships between researchers and development implementers and enablers for faster progress in achieving development outcomes and impacts. Our assumption is that better nutrition and health outcomes and impacts cannot be achieved without transforming current partnership approaches. The intent of this annex is to explain the A4NH strategy for selecting and engaging with partners in Phase II. TYPE OF PARTNERS AND ROLES OF PARTNERS IN A4NH A4NH partnerships in Phase II will continue to be driven by the three impact pathways through which we expect A4NH research to deliver results: agri-food value chains, development programs, and policies. A4NH also recognizes that partners are critical at all stages of research from discovery through proof-of-concept to delivery at scale. A4NH’s current partnership strategy summarizes the core principles and processes that A4NH will continue to build upon in Phase II. A4NH classifies partners into four broad categories, depending on their role in the impact pathway: researchers, actors in value chains, development program implementers, and enablers. The categories are not mutually exclusive; some individuals or organizations may fall into more than one partner category, often depending on the stage of research. • Research partners include other CGIAR Centers and CRPs, advanced research institutes, and academic institutions that are involved in agriculture, nutrition and health research. Research partnerships are central in the A4NH theory of change (ToC) mainly for generating research outputs and enhancing capacity to do this (evidence, technologies and other innovations) with potential to go to scale but also for generating information about impact pathways and underlying assumptions that can inform how research is designed and delivered. • Agri-food value chain partners include individuals, firms, public-private initiatives, and the organizations and association that represent them, all along the value chain, including input suppliers, producers, processors , transporters, wholesalers, retailers, marketers, regulators, and consumers. A4NH works with value chain partners in two main ways: (1) to develop and test value chains innovations (through the agri-food value chains impact pathway) and (2) to create and sustain an enabling environment for health, nutritious food systems (through the policies pathway). • Development implementers include government ministries, the United Nations, and other global initiatives, NGOs, civil society organizations, and farmers’ groups that all play roles in designing and implementing nutrition- and health-sensitive agricultural development programs. By generating 2 | Page A4NH Proposal: Annexes evidence on what works and translating it into operational guidance, A4NH supports development implementers to increase the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of their programming. • Enablers include policy- and decisionmakers, as well as investors involved in creating enabling environments at national, regional, and global levels. Where political will already exists to support nutrition-sensitive agriculture, A4NH works with initiatives like the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, governments, and with regional organizations (e.g., the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP)) to enhance the capacity to develop and implement strategy and policy options. Partner Roles in A4NH The roles of A4NH partners will fall into three groups in Phase II: managing partners, strategic partners, and collaborating partners. The relative role of a partner can change over time with partners moving between the different groups. Partner performance will be monitored and evaluated and both the Independent Steering Committee (ISC) and Planning and Management Committee (PMC) will review partnership status annually. Managing partners will be part of the A4NH PMC, recruit and co-manage flagship program (FP) and cluster leaders and key Center researchers, and actively support CRP-level resource mobilization, communication, and advocacy. Each managing partner will have a program participant agreement (PPA) with IFPRI that will include expectations for its responsibilities in A4NH overall and in specific FPs, and how both will be monitored and evaluated. There will be seven managing partners: IFPRI, as the Lead Center, plus Bioversity International, CIAT, IITA, ILRI, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), and Wageningen University and Research Centre (Wageningen UR), (Table 1). Strategic partners will not participate in program management, but they will dedicate human and financial resources to a FP(s), and actively engage in planning and implementing research with others in A4NH. Potential strategic partners come from CGIAR (Centers and CRPs) and from other research institutes (e.g., Public Health Foundation of India, Hanoi School of Public Health), actors in value chains (e.g., seed companies, GAIN, Pulse Innovation Platform), development implementers (e.g., BRAC, Helen Keller International, World Vision), and enablers (e.g., national governments, CAADP, FAO, IFAD, OIE, PACA, WHO, World Bank). In some cases, strategic partners are engaged to lead clusters of activities in particular FPs, like the Institute of Development Studies and the Institute for Tropical Medicine, Antwerp will do for FP4. Each strategic partner will have a PPA or similar formal agreement (e.g., MoU) that describes annual expected results and how these will be monitored and evaluated. While in some cases strategic partners have been identified, in other cases they will be identified once Phase II begins and A4NH and the partner have reached a shared understanding of the responsibilities involved (Table 1). Collaborating Partners include hundreds more entities with which A4NH works including those from within CGIAR with a valuable, but limited role in A4NH. Collaborating partners will not actively participate in CRP or flagship-level management. Collaborating partners, like strategic partners, can include all four A4NH partner types. Examples

As a member of the Population Sciences Program of the Cancer Center and a cancer epidemiologist, I conduct research on the epidemiology of cancer. At this time, I am the PI of the NIH funded African Collaborative Center for Microbiome and Genomics Research (ACCME) which is one of the NIH/Wellcome Trust funded Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) initiative on genomics research and education in Africa. ACCME’s current project is enrolling 10,000 women in Nigeria and Zambia and following them up every 6 months for research focused on integrative epidemiology of persistent high risk HPV infection, host germline and somatic genomics and epigenomics, and vaginal microenvironment (cytokines and microbiome) and risk of cervical cancer. As part of this project, I established a comprehensive genomics laboratory in Nigeria including facilities for epigenetics and next generation sequencing using Illumina NextSeq500. The genomics lab is linked to an NIH funded biorepository at IHVN. I also direct the Fogarty funded West African Bioethics Training program which has provided medium term training leading to Certificates in Research Ethics for 842 biomedical researchers, Masters’ degree in Bioethics to 34 individuals and Online WAB-CITI Training program to 6115 participants in West Africa. In Baltimore, I am working with colleagues at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center and University of Maryland College Park to develop a research program on cancer disparities among Africans in Africa, recent African immigrants to the United States and African Americans in order to better understand the role of genetics, environment cultural and socio- economic factors in cancer prevention, treatment seeking behavior and outcomes.

And back home, MGM's newly revived home entertainment unit is trumpeting an ambitious slate of project extensions, based on properties already in the Lion's den. At a press lunch Tuesday in Cannes, the studio's international networks prexy Bruce Tuchman put the accent on the company's "rapid expansion" of channels, both in terms of geographical reach and subscriber growth. Since Mipcom last October, "we've made tremendous progress," he said. Company has set up a joint-venture channel in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania with Liberty Global, and with partner ITI in Poland for an HD channel. MGM's 'Stargate' is TV's longest- running sci-fi series. Launches in India, Russia and Korea also are on the upswing with subs. The MGM channel brand has not yet cracked the difficult but potentially lucrative U.K., French and Italian markets. The studio is not willing to pay for carriage in those difficult territories, but believes its moves to convert many of its movies to high-def will eventually help it get a foothold in those territories.
