1. TIGA Meeting, September 13-14, 2012, Bonn

Meeting organized at Center for Development Research (ZEF), University of Bonn, Germany

The overall purpose of the project is to identify innovations that foster agricultural productivity and strategies to reach all strata of the poor among rural smallholders. The (ex‐ante) assessment aims at providing information on

1) where the underperforming agricultural areas and unused potentials of the rural poor are,

2) what the barriers to innovation and adaptive change are and

3) which innovations are suitable for which segment of the rural poor.

For this purpose, the project partners from Bangladesh, India, Ethiopia and Ghana and the distinguished Project advisors gathered at the campus of ZEF and presented the state of the art in agricultural technology and productivity in their countries and discussed different methodological approaches to be taken for assessing (ex‐ante) technology innovations for inclusive growth in agriculture.
