Scaling up note: Smallholder institutions and organizations
ديسمبر 2014
The initial step in scaling up smallholder organizations is to clarify and examine the elements that work best and decide which of these to scale up. The elements to be considered include the organizational components embedded in projects related to capacity-building, such as the managerial and technical skills and governance systems that enable organizations to fulfil their core functions and achieve their missions more effectively.

Small farms, big impacts: mainstreaming climate change for resilience and food security
نوفمبر 2014
Climate change threatens the natural resource base
across much of the developing world. Climate
change accelerates ecosystem degradation and makes
agriculture more risky. As a result, smallholder
farmers, who are so critical to global food security,
are facing more extreme weather. Small-scale farmers
are impacted more immediately by droughts, floods
and storms, at the same time as they suffer the
gradual effects of climate change, such as water stress
in crops and livestock, coastal erosion from rising sea
levels and unpredictable pest infestations.

Insights and lessons learned from the reflections on the PIALA piloting in Vietnam
نوفمبر 2014
Under the 9th Replenishment, IFAD committed to moving 80 million rural people out of poverty cumulative from 2010 onwards to 2015, and conducting 30 rigorous impact assessments. Hence the urgent need for appropriate methodologies for impact assessment. To respond to this need, a few piloting initiatives have been launched, one of which is the Improved Learning Initiative (ILI) 2. This initiative aims to develop a potentially scalable Participatory Impact Assessment and Learning Approach (PIALA) that can help IFAD and its partners collaboratively assess, explain and debate its contributions to rural poverty impact. The PIALA design and piloting is funded by IFAD’s DFID-financed Innovation Mainstreaming Initiative (IMI) and BMGF’s Measurement, Learning and Evaluation Unit in the Agricultural Development Program; and with important contributions from IFAD’s Country Program Offices and partners in the pilot countries (Vietnam and Ghana), and its Strategy & Knowledge Management and Program Management Departments.
