Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sorghum and Millet Annual Performance Report FY 2016. Sorghum and Millet Innovation Lab, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 66 pp. Sorghum and Millet Innovation Lab Annual Performance Report – FY 2016 11111111 ii Executive summary The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sorghum and Millet completed its third year of programmatic activities in late July 2016. At that point in time, the third year of field-based research activities was firmly in the ground in Ethiopia, Senegal, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, the United States and South Africa after capitalizing upon off-season nurseries in many of the same locations. Harvest will begin in the 2017 fiscal year. Being at the mid-point of the program, research activities can be characterized as being in a “young adult” stage with many activities building upon foundations of initial trials (with attendant “growing pains”) in a search for additional data to build evidentiary bases for field phenotyping, genetic, agronomic and integrated pest management innovations. This field data has been complimented by off-season nurseries and more continuous, and less-seasonal, research and development of value- added food products and attendant food technology and science innovation. New, targeted research projects have been initiated that will contribute to genetic enhancement of sorghum and pearl millet. Near the end of the fiscal year, a new project designed to harness the potential of genomics-assisted sorghum breeding was approved after several months of project development, and will focus on application to a small country context with new collaborations between Haiti, Kansas State University and Cornell University. The pearl millet improvement program is also advancing after the hiring of a pearl millet breeder by Kansas State University in late FY 2015. This program revived the Kansas breeding program and initiated greenhouse studies during the winter. This has led to seasonal field trials, intellectual and materials exchange with the West African breeding team and a field monitoring tour of West African materials in September. Building these research projects has required investment in long-term capacity building through students and post- doctoral researchers. The Lab surpassed its original planning goals for long-term training with the cohort of students starting in the 2016-2017 academic year and this leads us to anticipate even higher numbers by the end of the program. Currently, thirty-eight students are enrolled in degree-seeking post-graduate coursework. In addition to the students that were originally identified in project proposals, intermediate research findings have generated new questions and opportunities. Through judicious use of available and leveraged funding, additional students were mobilized to contribute to the program’s goals. At the same time, food product and IPM technologies are ready for broader uptake. To meet information dissemination needs on these technologies and products, over 2,000 people were contacted through short- term trainings to bridge knowledge differences and adoption impediments. The Management Entity (ME) continues to contribute to human and institutional capacity development in our target countries through environmental management and mitigation support and training, facilitating private-public sector linkages in Ethiopia with the Kansas Department of Agriculture and building cross-cutting research activities on gender, mechanization and livestock. Leveraged university resources are being invested in applied economics research in West Africa and Ethiopia with supervision supplied by the director. The ME is working outside of target countries to build a stronger research and development community by participating in local agricultural field days and STEM outreach activities to emphasize the domestic and international linkages in sorghum and pearl millet science. The director has assumed leadership of the Innovation Lab Council, which is the umbrella group facilitating interaction between USAID and the Innovation Lab directors and staff.

  • Multihazard Risk Assessment for Planning with Climate in the Dosso Region, Niger

Mattioli 39, 10125 Torino, Italy; [email protected] or [email protected] (M.B.); [email protected] (S.B.) 2 Ibimet CNR, Via G. Caproni 8, 50145 Florence, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-011-090-7491 Received: 13 July 2018; Accepted: 6 August 2018; Published: 8 August 2018 Abstract: International aid for climate change adaptation in West Africa is increasing exponentially, but our understanding of hydroclimatic risks is not keeping pace with that increase. The aim of this article is to develop a multihazard risk assessment on a regional scale based on existing information that can be repeated over time and space and that will be useful during decision-making processes. This assessment was conducted in Dosso (Niger), the region most hit by flooding in the country, with the highest hydroclimatic risk in West Africa. The assessment characterizes the climate, identifies hazards, and analyzes multihazard risk over the 2011–2017 period for each of the region’s 43 municipalities. Hazards and risk level are compared to the intervention areas and actions of 6 municipal development plans and 12 adaptation and resilience projects. Over the past seven years, heavy precipitation and dry spells in the Dosso region have been more frequent than during the previous 30-year period. As many as 606 settlements have been repeatedly hit and 15 municipalities are classified as being at elevated-to-severe multihazard risk.

  • DREF Operation Final Report Niger: Floods
    DREF Operation Final Report Niger: Floods DREF operation n° MDRNE008 GLIDE n° FL-2011-000122-NER 27 March 2102 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 250,491 was allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Red Cross Society of Niger (RCSN) in delivering immediate assistance to some 1,600 families. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Torrential rains in Niger in August 2011 caused heavy flooding in the regions of Dosso, Tillabéry, Tahoua and Maradi. As a result, nine people died, and 1,750 houses were destroyed. More than 1,920 hectares of crops were flooded and herds of livestock decimated. With support from IFRC’s Sahel regional representation, the National Society activated its floods contingency plan at the onset of the disaster. RCSN proceeded to assist a targeted total of 1,600 affected families with non-food relief items as well as emergency health, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities and emergency shelter in the four affected regions. Total funds spent in this operation is CHF 248,814. A small balance of CHF 1,677 will be returned to DREF. Partners who supported the replenishment of this DREF allocation include the Canadian Red Cross/ Canadian government and the Netherlands Red Cross/ Netherlands government.

To this end, the NAAR Project attained its objectives. Both human and material resource development were effectively implemented to undergird strengthening of the institute. The project implemented new planning, fiscal, and research management policies to effectively carry out priority research programs. Research programs in plant breeding, agronomy, production systems, and economics, as well as new programs in irrigation and water management and research/extension liaison were successfully implemented during the life of project (LOP) through the collegia! efforts on the part of the technical assistance team (TAT) and their Nigerien colleagues. This report is administrative in nature. The principal research findings are summarized in Part II (separate edition) of the Final Report.
