Partnership action research

1. Potential innovation platforms and how do they Value chain (Papa Andina)

Varietal development (Red Latin Papa)

Cropping systems (CIALCA)

2. Basic principles in building platforms?3. How are scientists and others actually partnerin

Network mapping

4. What are the linkage mechanisms with RTB?

Challenges to partnering for outcomes

1. RTB predominance linkages among CG and AR

2. Limited engagement of non-HQ scientists and dR4D partners

3. Limited coordination across CRPs4. CRPs are reconfiguring innovation platforms h

5. Compatibility honest broker role and accountaoutcomes?

Linkage mechanisms: CRPs and innovation platfo

1. Joint priority setting with stakeholders

2. Joint construction of impact pathwayswith stakeholders

3. Shared research sites and R4D activity

4. Learning alliances across regionalinnovation platforms

5. Shared action research on partnershipsto get it right, in context of increasedorganizational complexity

6. Monitoring evolution partnerships
