"Content is King"
Always ensure there is enough relevant content to tell about. Here is a list of 8 questions to address at projects managers, activities responsible and key informants: at least 6 of those must be answered exhaustively in order to gather enough meaningful content.
- How the project/activity has been carried on (e.g. the role of science-policy interface, the partnership strategy, is there an innovation platform involved)?
- Which benefits have been observed in the target countries (e.g. hectares affected, lives affected, crops affected, services provided) and on a partnership level (e.g. the development of a tool, a set of policies, an agreement, increase in capacity, capacity development)?
- How the partners reacted to the interventions? Were they happy of the results? How governments reacted to the interventions?
- Why the interventions were necessary?
- What benefits will them bring on the long run? Will other partners or governments adopt them? Wil farmers adopt them?
- Which partners cooperated and advocated for the implementations? Will other partners join the project or mirror it in their own countries?
- What are some of the key lessons learned from the interventions?
- How will these lessons be incorporated in phase II of the project?
