1 Agriculture and Nutrition Global Learning and Evidence Exchange (N-GLEE) Strengthened and Sustainable Linkages Among Agriculture, Economic Growth and Nutrition in Africa AGENDA Serena Kampala Hotel Kampala, Uganda December 10-12, 2012 Monday, December 10, :00 8:30 Workshop Registration 8:30 8: Welcoming Remarks 8:45 9:00 Security Briefing 9:00 9: Background and Objectives of Workshop and Overview of Agenda Session Objective: Participants are aware of the purpose and components of the N-GLEE and understand the flow of material over the three days: (1) shared basic knowledge; (2) exposure to evidence base and country examples; (3) application of knowledge to plan and/or strengthen potential for nutritional outcomes from FTF portfolios. 9:30 10: Starting on the Same Page: Goals, Objectives and Strategies of Feed the Future Session Objective: Participants have a shared lexicon and definitions for understanding food insecurity and nutrition per the FTF Conceptual Framework. A full explanation of how the N-GLEE is important to FTF will be conveyed and participants will be reminded of key components and expectations for agriculture-nutrition linkages. Highlights of the FTF Progress Report and revised FTF Guide will update participants on the latest FTF priorities and accomplishments.

2 11:00 12: Agriculture and Nutrition Working Together to Improve Nutritional Outcomes: The Global Landscape Session Objective: Participants will obtain a common understanding of key trends in nutrition initiatives and agricultural investments and technologies and the impact that these trends and other challenges such as food prices, global climate change, agricultural input access, post-harvest storage and handling, market access and gender inequalities in the agriculture sector have on malnutrition. Shawn Baker, HKI Laura Birx, USAID Charlotte Dufour, FAO 12:30 1:30 Lunch 1:30 2: Interactive Sharing Activity: Learning More About Your Colleagues Session Objective: Participants get to know their colleagues and, at the same time, develop an appreciation of their colleagues technical expertise. 2:00 2: Primary Principles and Pathways for Reaching Nutrition through Agriculture Session Objective: Participants understand the conceptual framework that guided development of the Landscape Analysis and are introduced to the core principles found among programs linking agriculture and nutrition for reduced food insecurity. 2:45 3: Results of the N-GLEE Landscape Analysis Session Objective: Participants learn primary design and implementation approaches found across FTF programs for achieving nutrition outcomes in Africa. They will also have a chance to hear directly from and pose questions to colleagues to better understand the components of better practices. 3:30 4:00 Afternoon Break 4:00 4:45 Country Team exercise for processing nutrition pathways and Landscape Analysis. 4:45 5:00 Review of Day 1 and Preview of Day 2 Gary Steele, Jody Harris, IFPRI Lidan Du, Lidan Du, Jody Harris, IFPRI Gary Steele,

3 Tuesday, December 11, :30 9: Day 2 Welcome Day 2 Objective: Participants better understand the principles of and approaches for linking agriculture and nutrition through country examples where assumptions are being tested and applied. They will also be exposed to the pathways, tools and innovations underlying the agriculture-tonutrition principles to help inform their own work. 9:00 10: Integrated Program Design and Implementation Session Objective: Participants learn definitions of integration, why sectoral integration is important for sustained reductions in food insecurity and how to design and implement integrated programs. Sharing better practices for integration at the project level as well as within Missions will provide participants with an opportunity to learn from each other. The session will include a case study from Senegal.

4 2.3-C: The Role Of Water In Linking Agriculture, Nutrition and Health (Foyer Room) Session Objective: Evidence related to the importance of water for improved agriculture, nutrition and health outcomes will be shared and examples from the field will be used to identify where, how and under what circumstances water development for agricultural outcomes promote health and nutrition outcomes and vice versa. 2.3-D: Gender-sensitive Programming for Nutritional Impact (Nile Room) Session Objective: Share evidence related to gender in both agriculture and nutrition programming and use country examples to illustrate better practices for developing, implementing and measuring the effect of gender sensitive programming on nutrition. 12:30 1:30 Lunch 1:30 3: Concurrent Sessions Moderator: Roshelle Payes, USAID 2.4-A: M&E of Integrated Agriculture and Nutrition Programs (Achwa Room) Session Objective: Learn through work done in Malawi on how to plan for and undertake monitoring and evaluation of programs that have both agriculture and nutrition components. Discussion of appropriate indicators for integrated programs will take place. 2.4-B: Technology for Maximizing Agriculture and Nutrition (Foyer Room) Session Objective: Learn about Digital Green, testing of a field-friendly anemia testing technology and a tool recently developed for M&E as well as extension monitoring developed under the Community Connector project in Uganda. 2.4-C: Addressing Micronutrient Deficiencies through Stronger Public/Private Partnerships (Nile Room) Session Objective: Participants will have a better understanding of how private sector food-based initiatives complement other micronutrient deficiency control approaches, including challenges to effectiveness, commercialization and scale-up of a range of fortification approaches including but not limited to micronutrient powders and biofortified crops. Country and regional examples will be used to illustrate challenges, opportunities and accomplishments.
