Type d'Item : Item , Knowledge Exchange Network (KEN) Innovation Showcase(Report, 2026-10-21) Langa, Nicole; Retief, Hugo; Garcia Andarcia, Mariangel; Roman, HenryThis report synthesises the proceedings and key findings of the Knowledge Exchange Network (KEN) Innovation Showcase, hosted by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in Pretoria, South Africa, from 2–4 June 2026, with support from Enabel’s Innovation Hub. The workshop brought together eight KEN member organisations and invited stakeholders to demonstrate digital innovations, exchange implementation experiences and explore pathways for collaboration and sustainability beyond grant funding. Organised around innovation, integration and impact, the three-day programme combined business-model development, demand-driven design, storytelling, technology demonstrations, digital inclusion assessments and policy advocacy. Demonstrations included the Limpopo River Basin Digital Twin, AI-assisted citizen-science monitoring and Water Copilot, alongside partner innovations in rural water services, community communication, landscape monitoring and digital learning. These exchanges highlighted how interoperable systems can connect community-generated observations, remote sensing, institutional records and modelling to support more accessible and informed decision-making. The workshop identified user-centred co-design, trusted partnerships, institutional ownership, responsible AI and sustainable financing as essential conditions for scaling. Discussions on the Multidimensional Digital Inclusiveness Index emphasised the need to address barriers associated with connectivity, affordability, language, disability, safety and digital literacy throughout development and implementation. A pre-mortem exercise identified shared risks, including weak data integrity, limited adoption, insufficient revenue, maintenance constraints and dependence on individual champions. Proposed responses included diversified financing, shared technical services, stronger partnerships, succession planning and clearer evidence-to-policy pathways. The report provides practical lessons and initial building blocks for continued KEN collaboration, demonstrating that lasting impact depends on the wider ecosystem supporting digital innovation.Type d'Item : Item , Data systems under financial strain: Findings from a rapid assessment of 41 food security, nutrition, and health information systems(Brief, 2026-10-20) Hillbruner, Chris; Hill, Ruth Vargas; McNamara, Brian; Scott, ZoeThe 2025 cuts to foreign assistance have weakened the crisis-information infrastructure underpinning humanitarian and development response. An IFPRI assessment, funded by Rockefeller Catalytic Capital (RFCC), examined 41 globally relevant information systems focused on predicting, monitoring, and understanding food and nutrition crises. Among systems reporting funding estimates, funding declined by an average of 31% in 2025, compared with a 23% decline in overall official development assistance (ODA). These funding cuts have sharply reduced data collection, limited analysis, and weakened forecasts. As declining aid flows make effective targeting of assistance even more critical, the information available to decision makers is eroding.Type d'Item : Item , Agrifood system transformation in low- and middle-income countries: Cross-country evidence from Africa and Asia(Working Paper, 2026-10-19) Diao, Xinshen; Hillbruner, Chris; Pauw, Karl; Thurlow, JamesThis paper contributes to the agrifood-systems literature by providing one of the largest cross-country assessments of agrifood-system structure and transformation currently available. Using a consistent economywide framework based on social accounting matrices across 27 African and Asian countries, the synthesis reveals three broad patterns of agrifood-system transformation. First, agrifood systems account for substantial shares of GDP and employment not only in low-income countries but also in relatively advanced lower-middle-income economies. While agrifood systems continue to grow in absolute terms, their relative importance declines with economic diversification, accounting for smaller shares of GDP and employment at higher income levels, both across countries and within countries over time. Second, agrifood systems remain major sources of employment, but the composition of new jobs is shifting beyond farming. Off-farm activities account for an increasing share of new agrifood jobs, particularly in middle-income countries, with much of this employment created in service-related off-farm activities. Third, agricultural labor productivity increased in most countries, providing encouraging evidence of ongoing transformation. However, growth in off-farm labor productivity was much less widespread across countries. Maintaining agricultural productivity growth is essential, but stronger productivity growth in off-farm agrifood activities will be increasingly important for sustaining income growth and long-term structural transformation.Type d'Item : Item , IFPRI Malawi maize market report, September 2026(Report, 2026-10-20) International Food Policy Research Institute; Duchoslav, Jan; Benson, AndersonHighlights - Retail prices of maize increased on average by 3 percent in September. - The increase in domestic maize prices was modest thanks to stable supply of relatively cheap maize imported from neighboring countries. - Retail prices of maize were highest in the Southern Region, and lowest in the Northern Region, where they remained below the minimum farmgate price in many markets.Type d'Item : Item , Guía para la elaboración de barras de quinua(Manual, 2026-03) Garcia Botina, Miryan JanethLa presente Guía para la elaboración de una barra de quinua tiene como propósito orientar de manera práctica y clara las etapas necesarias para la transformación de la quinua en una barra energética, desde la selección de la materia prima hasta el empaque del producto final. Esta actividad se desarrollará con estudiantes del grado decimo y profesores de la Institución Educativa Divino Niño Jesús, ubicada en Cumbal, Nariño. El objetivo principal de esta guía es fortalecer las capacidades de los estudiantes en procesos básicos de transformación agroalimentaria, permitiendo la elaboración y posterior comercialización de la barra de quinua y otros derivados como la granola y el aco de quinua dentro de la institución educativa. Para ello, se utilizará quinua producidas en los bancos nodales de semillas y en shagras del territorio, promoviendo el uso y conservación de las variedades nativas cultivadas en el territorio. A través de este proceso pedagógico y productivo, se busca que los estudiantes reconozcan el valor de la agrobiodiversidad de su entorno, comprendan la importancia de conservar las semillas nativas y desarrollen habilidades relacionadas con el emprendimiento, la transformación de alimentos y el trabajo colaborativo. Asimismo, la iniciativa pretende promover hábitos de alimentación más saludables, incentivando el consumo de productos elaborados a partir de cultivos locales, contribuyendo de esta manera al fortalecimiento de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en el entorno escolar y al mismo tiempo generando oportunidades de aprendizaje práctico y desarrollo económico a pequeña escala dentro de las instituciones educativas.
