3. Why are we here?
Workshop Objectives:
• Discuss and prioritize 2017 work-plans and core activities for each of
MAIZE-AFS Flagships
• Identify opportunities for synergistic interface among the Flagships and
other CRPs
• Determine appropriate indicators, targets and KPIs for 2017 across
MAIZE portfolio
• Ensure suitable inputs to generate a focused MAIZE-AFS POWB for
2017
• Explore ways to enhance the effectiveness and impacts of MAIZE in
Phase-II

10. Workshop Agenda (1)
• The agenda helps us work towards completion of an
integrated and coherent POWB
– Day 1
• Challenges/opportunities
• Lessons learned – Phase-I and areas for improvement
• ToC-MEL-KPIs-Targets
• Cross-cutting IDOs – Gender, youth, CapDev
• Prioritizing work packages and deliverables (last years table could
help with this)
• Enhancing impact (including the are of nutrition)
11. Workshop Agenda (2)
• Day 2
– Summary of day 1
– Inter-FP Synergies:
• What have we achieved in Phase-I, and what needs to be done
better in Phase-II?
– Presentations from the Breakout Groups (of Day 1) on FP-
wise Work Packages for 2017
– What strategies should each FP use to achieve the desired
outputs and outcomes?
– Improving Synergies at the CRP level
• CCAFS, A4NH, PIM, EIB
12. Workshop Agenda (3)
• Day 3
– Summary of day 2 and agenda for day 3
– Presentations from the Breakout Groups (from Day 2) on:
FP-wise Strategies for enhanced impacts
– Communications strategy for MAIZE
– Wrap-up
– Follow up work with Shaylyn
A1.1 – Because FP5 has been removed or the operational realities in which we work has changed significantly.
A1.2 - Describe some key outcomes that your CRP expects to contribute in 2017 and some key outputs that your CRP expects to deliver in 2017. Distinguish where possible between those that are building on past work (and therefore, for example, expect to expand or scale) and those are new areas of investment (as per annex 2). Point to any key outcomes and outputs relevant to gender, youth and CapDev.
A1.3 - Indicate how W1-2 funding will be used vis-à-vis W3-bilateral.
Also provide a summary financial table (see table 1)
A1.4 - Describe any changes to the program of work in 2017 (if any, e.g. revised 2017 CRP targets) compared to what was described in your Phase II proposal, and give reasons for this.
A2.1 - Describe expected services, collaborative research or studies, materials that would be required from each of the CGIAR Platforms (Big Data, Excellence in Breeding, Genebanks, and Gender) to support the implementation of the CRP’s POWB for 2017, and an indication of the source of the budget where possible (e.g. CRP, Platform, Joint, other).
A2.2 Describe what is being done in collaboration with other CRPs any relevant outputs, outcomes and progress towards impact. Focusing on results that could not have been produced without such alliances and insisting on the give and take value for your CRP.
A2.3 Describe expected efforts related to the CGIAR country coordination initiative in 2017. How will the CRP engage with CGIAR’s country coordination and in which countries? What are the priority themes for coordination and how will this work be funded?
A3.1 Describe any relevant changes to the CRP compared to the proposal, such as in the governance structure, Program Management Unit, or in the administration of the MEL process.
A3.2 Describe key monitoring initiatives, evaluations, impact assessments planned for the year, within the framework of the program’s theory of change.
B1.1 Describe for each flagship what is planned during 2017 to contribute towards the FP 2022 outcomes, with whom you are working (key partners) to achieve this, and how this will deliver on the corresponding SRF sub-IDO and target. Summarize plans to achieve and document annual milestones (table 2).
B1.2 Key research outputs and their contribution to the outcomes 2022, including Gender and other cross-cutting issues such as Youth or Capacity Development (see table 3).
B1.3 Indicate how W1-2 funds will be used, for what purpose, and the relationship with W3-Bilateral funds. See table 3 for a breakdown and allocation by actual outputs.
Disclaimer:
Milestones could be outputs or outcomes as appropriate to the scale and maturity of the work. In this table 3 please focus as much as possible on milestones towards outcomes to avoid overlaps and duplication with table 4.
Budget amounts are mapped to outcomes from costing outputs and activities that are required to enable changes that we expect to happen.
It is important to acknowledge that the budget amounts are likely not directly correlated to the work proposed for this year, but build on
investment and outputs from the past.

4.1) Please see explanations in the instructions and guidance below to complete the tagging columns for the cross-cutting topics.
4.2) G = Gender, Y = Youth, CD = Capacity Development;
4.3) Markers: 0 = not targeted, 1 = significant, 2 = principal
4.4) CoA (Cluster of Activity) Outputs or Key Outputs reported in the POWB are expected to be key products, new knowledge and services produced through a variable number of deliverables reported at the project level (and not necessarily at the program level); for output’s definition, see glossary
