The purpose of the research program is to analyze the nature and drivers of marginality and reveal the hidden potentials of the marginalized poor in order to match them with suitable investment and development opportunities.
After a preparatory phase from 2010-2012 the TIGA project will assess cropping technology innovations for their potential to increase productivity and close yield gaps and thereby improve the lives of the rural poor.
The first phase will focus on Bangladesh and Ethiopia. The reach of the program will be extended to India (Orissa, Bihar) and West Africa in later stages.
