RTB brings together the expertise and resources of five centers: the International Potato Center (CIP), which leads the program; Bioversity International; the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT); the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA); and the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD), which represents several other French partners in the research program. The centers have teamed up to collaborate on common issues affecting RTB crops, mobilize complementary expertise and resources, avoid duplication of efforts, and create synergies.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_image _id=”93″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”94″ ][cs_element_text _id=”95″ ][cs_content_seo]This collaborative approach aims to increase the benefits of the centers’ research and interventions for smallholder farmers, consumers, and other actors in root, tuber and banana agri-food systems. RTB consolidates research in five interdisciplinary flagship projects (FPs), described throughout this report. Each flagship has a dynamic leader based in one of the centers. Each flagship is composed of a set of interrelated research ‘clusters’ which have clear impact pathways through which RTB centers and their partners collaborate to achieve targeted outcomes. The areas of focus for each of the clusters were identified through an RTB assessment to determine the options with the greatest potential for impact.
The nested impact pathways at the cluster and flagship project levels are at the heart of the program’s results-based management. A monitoring and evaluation system, aligned with the overall CGIAR performance management framework, has been developed and its implementation is facilitated through MEL, an online planning, monitoring, evaluation, and learning platform, collaboratively developed with several CRPs and centers. In 2019, RTB maintained collaboration with 319 partners, primarily national agricultural research organizations, academic and advanced research institutions, private companies and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). These valuable partnerships have played an increasingly important role in this second phase as the program works to scale out the technologies and approaches developed under its flagships. RTB sought to accelerate the scaling of innovations linked with capacity development for partners, while ensuring that research benefits women and men alike and engages youth. Together, RTB and its broad network of partners are working to achieve the program’s intermediate development outcomes – which are fully aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals – by 2022.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”96″ ][cs_content_seo]How we work\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_image _id=”97″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”98″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”99″ ][cs_element_text _id=”100″ ][cs_content_seo]Sustainable Development Goals\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_image _id=”101″ ][cs_element_image _id=”102″ ][cs_element_image _id=”103″ ][cs_element_image _id=”104″ ][cs_element_image _id=”105″ ][cs_element_image _id=”106″ ][cs_element_image _id=”107″ ][cs_element_image _id=”108″ ][cs_element_image _id=”109″ ][cs_element_image _id=”110″ ][cs_element_image _id=”111″ ][cs_element_image _id=”112″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”113″ ][cs_element_text _id=”114″ ][cs_content_seo]Selected RTB Program Targets (2022)\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”115″ ][cs_content_seo]20 million people (50% women) increased their income\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”116″ ][cs_content_seo]30,000 small and medium enterprises operating profitably in the RTB seed and processing sectors\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”117″ ][cs_content_seo]8 million farm households increased RTB crop yield through the adoption of improved varieties and sustainable management practices\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”118″ ][cs_content_seo]10 million people (50% women) have improved their diet quality\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”119″ ][cs_content_seo]1.9 million ha of current RTB crops production area converted to sustainable cropping systems\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”120″ ][cs_content_seo]At least 2 million households with increased capacity to deal with climate risks and exrtremes\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”121″ ][cs_content_seo]9,500 individuals (50% women) with improved capacities in partner organizations\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”122″ ][cs_content_seo]At least 5 partnership and scaling models tested in a minimum of 5 target countries\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_section id=”map” bg_color=”rgb(255, 236, 153)” parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_inset=”0px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”100px” separator_bottom_inset=”0px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ _label=”Interactive Map” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px;margin-top: 0px;background-repeat: repeat-y;background-size: 100%;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_element_text _id=”126″ ][cs_content_seo]Where we work\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text _order=”0″]

Considering the USD 2.8 million of carry-over from 2018, the final allocation for 2019 W1&2 was USD 21.5 million. The total 2019 budget for RTB was USD 95.3 million, USD 21.5 million (23%) from Windows 1&2, and USD 73.7 million (77%) from Window 3, bilateral and RTB participant centers’ own funds.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”364″ ][cs_content_seo]2019 Expenditure\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”365″ ][cs_content_seo]RTB total expenditure for 2019 was USD 83.2 million, or 87% of the budget, of which USD 19.1 million (23%) was from W1&2, and USD 64.1 million (77%) from W3, bilateral and centers’ own funds.
