Outcome-Oriented Research
This demands:• Priorities and requirements of users • Joint conceptualisation by research
and non-research partners• Customize research findings for the
audiences• Validation of emerging results
• Teams with complementary expertise and leadership (research + communications + business + policy)
• External intermediaries (senior level advisors, development practitioners) play a significant role in facilitating outcomes
• Utilize synergies and allow flexibility

Agricultural Water Management/Small-Scale Irrigation in Africa• Nearly 300 million of the poor in SSA are in rural areas
where livelihoods depend on crops, livestock and fisheries.• Land and water management is one of four pillars for
priority investment of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP).
• The pillar aims to triple the area (~20 million hectares) under sustainable land management and reliable water control systems.
• Many countries, including Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria and Tanzania, have prioritized investments in irrigation.
• Expansion and sustaining irrigation requires good science and innovation, ie. business models.
• As with South Asia in the past, small-holder, informal irrigation is expanding within rain-fed landscapes.

Example of Resource Recovery & Reuse
With urban areas increasingly consuming our resources, how best can they be
recovered?

Water for a food-secure world
• Technical knowledge is largely available but remains on the shelf, particularly in low-income countries.
• Hardly any project goes to scale, recovers its costs, or even survives its subsidized pilot stage.
• RRR brings a paradigm shift into the sanitation-agriculture interface by studying and testing Business Models with due consideration of safety aspects and cultural perceptions.
Reuse is not new …

• The RRR research portfolio targets private sector engagement, PPP, investors and business schools.
• A team of economists, business developers, engineers and environmental scientists works closely together.
• Analyzing business models, plans and returns on investment are building blocks of the research program.
• This young program has received significant feedback with donors ready to invest in the business plans.
• There are many avenues to apply the same analytical and business approach to other research portfolios.
