Action research
Identification of five students until August 2012
–
2 have been recruited already
Country coordinators to propose which model of student involvement in action research:
PhD, MSc stipend paid, MSc field work only, post-doctorate
SFFF2 project budget not to cover stipends but field work
Student support and other capacity building
Training on stochastic risk assessment in Rakuno Gakuen University
from 3rd to 12th September (annex 4)
Sylvain G. Traoré (CSRS), Joseph Kungu (Makerere University), Daniel Senerwa (University
of Nairobi), James Kahunyo (University of Nairobi), Kristina Rösel (ILRI/Free University of
Berlin)
Two week core training on risk assessment and especially risk management in Africa

Additional funding
Leveraging additional funds was one reason for the success of the previous phase. Hence, a
brainstorming session was done on where to apply for additional funds and scholarships.

Administrative arrangements
Outline
1. Institutional agreements: Where appropriate, Collaborative Research Agreements (CRA) will
be established with partners responsible for budget administration using the ILRI CRA template.
The CRA provides the general legal framework for the collaboration, and specific budgets can
be updated or added as amendments („schedules‟) to the CRA.
The CRA is suitable for
collaborations with a significant budget, multiple people involved in multiple activities and only
recommendable if everyone is comfortable managing the funds through the institution. In some
cases, it may make more sense to fund smaller activities directly from ILRI such as consultancy
agreements.
Provisional working agreements with project partners:

2. Budget management: Funds to be transferred to each partner responsible for an activity
budget will be detailed in the Consultancy contract, the CRA or its amendments. The budget is
based on a preliminary estimate that was developed during the proposal preparation. Planned
expenditures will need to be based on detailed work plans and budgets developed annually or
by activity, and agreed with ILRI. Expenditures will be justified according to agreed deliverables.
Care will be taken to carefully define the deliverables and how they will be evaluated to
minimize misunderstandings.
3. Protocol management: A system of cascading protocols will be used to document project
activities. The protocols, similar to student proposals, will give details about the justification,
objectives, methods, analytical approach, staff, timing, budget etc. for each activity, and need to
be approved by the project management at ILRI before undertaking the activity. The protocol is
meant to be a living document and will be updated to record what actually happened during the
implementation of the activity (e.g., sample size, attrition, survey dates, etc), problems
encountered (staff changes, relations with respondents, poorly designed questions, etc). ILRI
will provide templates.
4. Funding: Funds will be disbursed by wire transfer to a project bank account as an advance
each year once the deliverables for the preceding period have been successfully achieved.
5. Reporting: Each partner will submit a progress report every six months in August and an
annual report in January every year. ILRI will provide the report structure to follow. ILRI will be
responsible for consolidating the reports into a single progress report to submit to BMZ by the
end of February each year.
