Besides emphasizing different researchobjectives and benefits as revealed in the value propositi<strong>on</strong> analysis, the CRP <strong>on</strong> <strong>Grain</strong> <strong>Legumes</strong> generatesimpacts in countries with different partners. Thus the match between inputs and outputs depends types ofbenefits c<strong>on</strong>sidered (e.g., ec<strong>on</strong>omic, nutriti<strong>on</strong>, envir<strong>on</strong>mental) and <strong>on</strong> if countries are c<strong>on</strong>sidered asbenefitting or c<strong>on</strong>tributing to research outcomes. For example, Table 7 reveals a different input-outputassessment where a major partner to the CRP, India, is not c<strong>on</strong>sidered as a benefitting country. In this case,the match between inputs and outputs am<strong>on</strong>gst the PLs is closer in some cases and more distant in others.Table 7.

As the CRP refines its priority-setting methodsand analyses, adjustments to the program will be made in order to improve efficiencies and impacts.Alignment with the priorities of regi<strong>on</strong>s, nati<strong>on</strong>s, farmers and development investors<strong>Grain</strong> <strong>Legumes</strong> has c<strong>on</strong>sidered the priorities within the agricultural development agendas of its partnerregi<strong>on</strong>s and countries in establishing the CRP priorities. Although priority-setting informati<strong>on</strong> is not availablefor all countries and crops, the examples below indicate comm<strong>on</strong> perspectives, issues, c<strong>on</strong>straints andopportunities.West and Central Africa• The CORAF/WECARD Strategic Plan (2007-16) ranks groundnut as third in priority am<strong>on</strong>g all crops interms of research benefits (US$ 3.4 billi<strong>on</strong>) via exports. <strong>Legumes</strong> collectively c<strong>on</strong>tribute 8.7% ofagriculture GDP in the regi<strong>on</strong>.• Numerous development investors support grain legumes R4D in WCA regi<strong>on</strong> because of their role inenhancing nutriti<strong>on</strong> and livelihoods: the EC, DFID, SDC, CIDA, USAID and the World Bank.• More recently, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundati<strong>on</strong> (BMGF) is investing in cowpea, comm<strong>on</strong> bean,groundnut and soybean research through the Tropical <strong>Legumes</strong> (TLI and TL II) projects with the<strong>Grain</strong> <strong>Legumes</strong> – Justificati<strong>on</strong> 17
objective of increasing productivity and productivity of grain legumes and the income of smallholderfarmers in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal.• The N2Africa project (supported by BMGF) aims to leverage biological nitrogen fixati<strong>on</strong> for doublingthe yields of comm<strong>on</strong> bean, cowpea, groundnut and soybean in the WCA regi<strong>on</strong>.• Major investments are also coming from the USAID-sp<strong>on</strong>sored Feed the Future <str<strong>on</strong>g>Program</str<strong>on</strong>g> (Feed theFuture 2010) targeting soybean (al<strong>on</strong>g with rice and maize) to transform commodity value chains forhigh impact <strong>on</strong> nutriti<strong>on</strong>, gender equity and poverty in WCA.Eastern and Southern Africa• ASARECA’s strategic plan 2006-15 ranks groundnut as first priority am<strong>on</strong>g legumes, and states “pulseshave relatively high current and expected future demand in the regi<strong>on</strong>”.• Ethiopia has been increasing the producti<strong>on</strong> of legumes for export during the last decade (IFPRI2012), earning over US$ 90 milli<strong>on</strong> (in additi<strong>on</strong> to local c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>) in 2007-08. The Government ofEthiopia is str<strong>on</strong>gly supportive of the pulses value chains for export. Major legume crops arechickpea, comm<strong>on</strong> bean, faba bean, pea and lentil. IFPRI reported that pulses account for 13% ofcultivated land and 15% of protein intake, and c<strong>on</strong>cluded “diversificati<strong>on</strong> by rotating staple cerealswith pulses is an important income opportunity.”• SADC’s new agricultural research subsidiary body, CCARDESA, has not yet produced a cropprioritizati<strong>on</strong> for Southern Africa, but nati<strong>on</strong>al policies in Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia areinformative. Malawi’s 2011-15 prioritized strategy (Malawi Ministry of Agriculture 2011) targets“promoting diversified and enriched foods in complementary feeding programs for maternal nutriti<strong>on</strong>and HIV/AIDS affected people through the use of soybean, comm<strong>on</strong> bean, pige<strong>on</strong>pea and groundnutas key ingredients”. These same legume crops were also part of the government’s supportedagricultural inputs subsidy program aimed at food and nutriti<strong>on</strong> security and reducing poverty.Likewise, Zambia and Zimbabwe have put legumes <strong>on</strong> the priority list, and included in the agriculturalinputs programs that support smallholder farmers.• The Nati<strong>on</strong>al Small Farmers Associati<strong>on</strong> of Malawi (NASFAM) places priority <strong>on</strong> sustainable farmingmethods and risk management against droughts and climate change. As part of StrategicDevelopment Plan process, groundnut and soybean were c<strong>on</strong>sidered as next best opti<strong>on</strong>s to tobacco(NASFAM 2011).• Beans are a priority crop for enhancing both food security and income of smallholder farmers in bothTanzania through Kilimo Kwanza (a nati<strong>on</strong>al agricultural development framework) and in Rwandathrough the Plan for Agricultural in Rwanda.• ASARECA ranks comm<strong>on</strong> beans a “high value crop” and c<strong>on</strong>siders beans to be a “major staple foodcrop in the regi<strong>on</strong>, in terms of c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> of both calories and protein.”• The USAID’s “Feed the Future” program prioritizes legumes in Malawi; soybean, comm<strong>on</strong> bean,groundnut and sesame in Mozambique; and commodity value chains for maize, legumes and oilseedsin Zambia.• In Uganda, comm<strong>on</strong> bean (for nutriti<strong>on</strong>) is <strong>on</strong>e of the three “Feed the Future” priorities, al<strong>on</strong>g withmaize (for food security) and coffee (for growth).• The BMGF supported Tropical <strong>Legumes</strong> projects are working in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi,Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe with the aim of increasing producti<strong>on</strong> andproductivity of legumes.• The N2Africa project targets Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya, Rwanda and Zimbabwe to raise BNF oflegumes and c<strong>on</strong>sequently yield of grain legumes, as well as the subsequent crop (in rotati<strong>on</strong>) thatbenefits from residual nitrogen left in the soil by the legume.South and Southeast Asia• India is the world’s largest producer and c<strong>on</strong>sumer of grain legumes. To address the gap betweenproducti<strong>on</strong> and c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> (as described earlier) the Government of India has launched theAccelerated Pulses Producti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Program</str<strong>on</strong>g>me (A3P) under the Nati<strong>on</strong>al Food Security Missi<strong>on</strong> (NFSM).<strong>Grain</strong> <strong>Legumes</strong> – Justificati<strong>on</strong> 18
