Using evidence from agricultural innovation platforms and development interventions, the authors analyze how institutional arrangements, stakeholder engagement, policy environments, and capacity development influence the adoption and diffusion of agricultural technologies. The report highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration, effective knowledge sharing, and enabling policy frameworks in facilitating the successful scaling of innovations. Lessons from Ghana demonstrate that innovation platforms, farmer participation, and strong partnerships between research institutions, extension services, and private sector actors significantly enhance the likelihood of sustainable technology adoption and widespread impact.Item Functions and Impacts of Multi-Stakeholder Platforms in Benin(FARA, 2017-10) Adegbola, Y P, Kouton-Bognon B, Ahoyo-Adjovi, N R and Atacolodjou A.Item Innovation Opportunities in Mango Value Chain in Mali(FARA, 2017-10) Alpha Oumar Kergna and Daouda DembéléItem Factors Influencing Scaling-up of Agricultural Innovations: Lessons from Ghana(FARA, 2017-10) Ampadu-Ameyaw, R, Omari R and Owusu Essegbey GItem Impact of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies on Farm Yields and Income in Benin(FARA, 2017-10) Adegbola, Y P, Ahoyo-Adjovi, N R, Hessavi P, Kouton-Bognon B, Montcho D and Mensah SEItem Innovation Opportunities in Irish Potato Value Chain in Mali(FARA, 2017-10) Alpha Oumar Kergna and Daouda DembéléItem Development and Analysis of the Rice Value Chain for the Hohoe and Jasikan Districts of the Volta Region, Ghana(FARA, 2017-10) Richard Ampadu-Ameyaw, Rose Omari, George Owusu EssegbeyThe Program of Accompanying Research for Agricultural Innovation (PARI) aims to improve rice production, processing, and marketing to enhance the livelihoods of the poor. This study utilizes a value chain analysis approach to identify production and postharvest constraints and develop intervention strategies. Conducted in the Volta Region of Ghana, the research provides baseline information for the formation of Innovation Platforms (IPs). Key findings highlight major constraints such as lack of land preparation equipment, high costs, and poor post-production quality due to inefficient milling. Proposed interventions include developing efficient seed distribution, establishing public-private partnerships (PPPs) for milling, and promoting local rice through better packaging and consumer sensitization. The study also identifies research opportunities in disease control, innovative pest management, and the development of new rice products.Item Development and Analysis of the Rice Value Chain for the Hohoe and Jasikan Districts of the Volta Region, Ghana(FARA, 2017-10) Ampadu-Ameyaw, R, Omari R and Owusu Essegbey GItem Strategies for Scaling Agricultural Technologies in Africa(FARA, 2018) AJAYI Tunde, FATUNBI Oluwole, AKINBAMIJO YemiItem Innovation Opportunities in the Rice Value Chain in Nigeria(FARA, 2018-01) Dayo Phillip, Olumuyiwa O Jayeoba, Yarama Ndirpaya and Fatunbi OluwoleItem Documentation of Selected Outstanding Innovations in Nigeria(FARA, 2018-02) Philip D, Jayeoba O.O and Ndirpaya D.YItem Impact of Agricultural Innovation Platforms on Smallholder livelihoods in Eastern and Western Kenya(FARA, 2018-02) Makini, F.W., Mulinge, W., Mose, L., Salasya, B., Kamau, G., Makelo, M., and On’gala, J.Item Impact of Climate Change on Rice Farmer Income in Togo(FARA, 2018-02) Alpha T, Bonfoh B, Kpemoua K, Koussa D, Zoupoya KItem Analysis of the Dynamics and Obstacles to the Adoption of Technological Innovations: the Case of Rice Farming in Togo(FARA, 2018-02) Alpha T, Bonfoh B, Kpemoua K, Koussa D, Zoupoya K.
