Profiling an innovation bundle describes the bundle and bundling process, assesses its scalability, and identifies possible pathways to adapt and scale existing bundles to different areas.
This study aims to understand the adoption patterns of BMPs across multiple farmer groups with different characteristics in Bangladesh. We identified 15 variables that are of importance to aquaculture production through a literature review and expert interview. A taxonomy of study households was developed through a multi-dimensional cluster approach. We then compared key characteristics and the adoption of BMPs for different commercialised groups.
Through analyzing policies and interventions and exploring the context, enabling environment analysis assesses the current situation that influences the design and impact of the scaling investments and supports.
As part of the AICCRA, the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) are tasked to develop curricula and training materials to accelerate the mainstreaming of Climate Information Services (CIS) and Climate- Smart Agriculture (CSA) into University’s curricula in Africa. This report describes the activities of a training of trainers’ (ToT) workshop on crop-livestock-aquaculture integration course module, held on 24-26 May 2023.
Analyzing the existing multi-stakeholder platforms, dialogues, and networks helps create an overview of all relevant stakeholders for setting up multi-stakeholder dialogues and together achieve large-scale impact with innovation scaling.

This study documented existing knowledge on traditional fruits, vegetables and pulses in Kenya and Ethiopia. The aim was to identify neglected and underutilized species with high potential for food security, for their economic value and contribution to sustainable agriculture, based on a literature review and confirmation of existing data by local experts. In order of priority, the top 5 fruit species in Kenya are Tamarindus indica L. , Adansonia digitata L.
Climate change is a key driver of the spread of pests and diseases that affect food production in West and Central Africa. Science-policy linkages are essential for developing effective pests and disease management systems that can minimize agricultural losses to pests in Africa. With AICCRA support and engagement, a regional plan for preparedness and response to pest and disease outbreaks in West and Central Africa has been developed.
Scaling up Gender and Nutrition Sensitive (GNS) Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies and Climate Information Services (CIS) is essential to reducing gender inequalities and empowering women in agriculture and food systems in West Africa. AICCRA collaborated with its regional partner, CORAF to promote tested and sound GNS Technologies during the 2023 Market for Agricultural Innovation and Technology (MITA).
