Survey on Gender and Youth, and Current Practices in the Excellence in Agronomy Use Case, Sasakawa Africa

The objective of the EiA SAA Nigeria Use Case is to combine three fertilizer recommendation tools (AKILIMO for cassava, Nutrient Expert (NE) for maize and RiceAdvice for rice) in one interface. Following the request of the “demand partner” Sasakwa Africa Association (SAA), Nigeria, the decision support tools (DSTs) for fertilizer will be combined with advice on the planting or sowing windows. For cassava, this is already available as a module in AKILIMO, for maize and rice, this is under development. Modified versions of the RiceAdvice tool, RiceAdvice Lite (RAL) and AKILIMO, were/are tested in 2021 and 2022 (for AKILIMO, only the growing season 2021/2022). Following this technical validation, we require an enhanced understanding of the context in which the tool will be used to ensure that it meets farmers’ requirements. In particular, we need to improve our understanding on how this tool will be useful for men and women farmers as well as for the younger and the older generation. Next, the current practices in agriculture that prevail in this area are of importance to us to allow tailoring the tool for farmers’ use. The results of both surveys will also be instrumental in the scaling and dissemination phase of the Use Case. To this extent, we will apply the Add-On survey tool for current practice assessment (CPA) and gender, that has been developed by a dedicated EiA team.
