 So We're back to the last and hopefully the most interesting for you session of my of my part of this of this workshop and I already gave you pretty much the game plan before Breaking into into the break right? So now before we actually jump into it I'd like to ask everyone to stand up and go over to that corner The reason I wanted to get you out of your seats is because for this session we might not be sitting in those same seats Yeah So that's a good way to start it out and to start fresh Don't worry. You will be able to collect and move your stuff, you know You don't have to fear about that. Okay, so as I explained before the break what we'd like to do now is To complete our journey from pure theory a Case study taking theory into practice to now really taking you to a place where you can have the beginning of a plan For how you can integrate some of the concepts that we've been discussing around innovation platforms for your own work So to make it most useful It really has to come from you Yeah, so before we do any other configuration. I'd like to ask by show of hands Who has an idea a project? Initiative that they're either actually working on or would like to work on where they'd like to spend the next Hour hour and a half or so with colleagues and resource persons getting feedback on and starting to sketch out So if you have such please read. Oh great one hand to yeah No, not all of us Okay, so let's let's start Hearing a bit about the ideas Actually, I have a one project we are Try to organize with the NGOs because my in my ministry there are 55 NGOs working international and local NGOs I from Cambodia from the ministry of road development so the NGOs they get fun from you know abroad they make a We call a saving for change. So it's a community funds So the problem always when the NGO they finish their approach edge So that group you're gonna be male After the NGO so now we want to make sure those saving group Sustain even the NGO left that would still sustain So now I'm trying to work with the NGO about those how to make that saving group community to become sustainable So is the group can help us how to think about that? I think that'd be nice because when I go back there I will we actually we form already a group a working group with NGOs So we're gonna discuss about that when they're going back. So that's not the idea. I want to Wonderful. Thank you very much. May I already invite you to pick a table? Yes, you can pick your own table. There are advantages at raising your hands first Okay, some other I some other hands were up. Please help me again. Yes actually we have an ongoing project a tripartite project with circa With the local government and then the academe So we have just started the the project entitled Rehabilitation of calamansi industry in Victoria Oriental Mindoro. So what we did was of course the The PRA so we identified the potential commodity So we had identified calamansi. So why calamansi? So Calamansi during the previous years was in which Victoria was noted to be the most popular or producer of Calamansi, but then there came a time that Calamansi was Already dying was dying during the time. So I during those previous years. So what we did So we asked the farmers we asked the farmers Why is it that calamansi industry is already declining? So some some farmers deviated from the deviated from the From producing calamansi. So they opted to go on Other commodity products So we tend now to rehabilitate Rehabilitate the calamansi industry to the help of Shirka and of course in coordination with the local government and then the academe. So with the concept of the IP and then the Innovation platform. So we'll try to strengthen more the strategies for the industry Okay, so I am Leopichlar from Capis and Our province is known to be the seafood capital of the Philippines and one of the major Productions that we have which Is now extinct. It's the dual production or call it as the angel angel wings Yeah, I had this Proposal submitted to for institutional funding Entitled the rehabilitation and I know Registration on rehabilitation conservation of the angel wings in Capis. So The project or the The situation is there was no existing palace is when it comes to the harvest and the breeding season of these angel wings so my proposal is to make some policies and Alternative policies regarding the The situation. Thank you. Please find yourself a table Okay We have we have four more tables left, but if need be we can we can make arrangements So we've had one from Cambodia and two from the Philippines. Can I see hands not from the Philippines? We'll come to the Philippines again in a minute We have collaboration with local government about how to develop sugarcane industry in one province in Indonesia the issues is about how to Increase the productivity of the sugarcane and then how to String the Farmer institution of and also how to Support local government to provide support facilities in order to make the sugarcane industry Have more better in performance. Please find yourself a table Thanks Actually since yesterday we've been discussing on the possibility of as me and my table mates Actually discussing about the possibility of collaborating on a Common project we actually came up with an acronym for it already. It's called alive Alliance for learning and innovations For a viable enterprise So alive I am coming from a livestock agency from the Philippine Carrival Center Rona and EM It's from Philippine rice research Institute and of course, Dr. William Medrano Comes from Isabella State University. So this is a collaboration of research agencies of the government and the Academy towards Very meaningful project on on learning and innovations toward addressing the the plight of the marginalized rural farmers because Based on the innovation platform because anyway, we have similar clients. These are the small holder marginalized rural farming communities I'm involved in in a project of a big program and the project is called adaptive collaborative water governance. It's being operational in Santa Cruz watershed very near here and And this adaptive collaborative water governance seeks to address the problem about water management in that watershed and And so we had the formal meeting formal meeting into in 2014 With the stakeholders. So in our terms here, it's Innovation platform we invited stakeholders and the meeting was led by The meeting was led by our research findings that indeed there was or there were problems related to water but the problem then during that meeting was about water pollution so it it led us to addressing the problem of waste pollution Okay, and so We have followed a platform faces actually and it's a four-phase platform And we are now on our last year this year is our last year And so we would like to continue that that platform not Probably in the next future with another watershed, but this time since we haven't Implemented yet the what we call adaptive collaborative water governance platform We would like to implement that first in that watershed before we replicate The platform in another watershed and so this is in collaboration with the government institution one river council and academia PLB Now the the problem Okay Thanks very much and please find yourself a table. I have no much knowledge for social subjects Mostly my knowledge Concerned with our pure science subjects design. I would like to join this Workshop for a foreign workshop and then after this training I will obtain many updated information and I could apply in my training center and I could share my knowledge to my trainees That's why I joined digs For a bet I have not met more than it's sorry and I'm still learning many learning From you and other participants. So thank you I have a question. Do you want to start thinking about a specific project? Do you just want to learn more about the process? Because right now what I'm asking for is do you want to lead a group for a project in Myanmar on topic? A B or C and have them help you brainstorm and start to prepare it. I have two plans The one is that I I want to leave a Project so that is a stay applying for the grant but not yet Confirm and so I have to lead one project and another one is that I am training supervisor That's why I have to share the knowledge of innovation platforms in my training center So I have two ideas to poppers Can you tell us a bit more about the first idea? Sorry to put you on the spot But at the end people will need to choose which table they come to so I want them to have a better sense So this first project, what is it about? Can you tell the group a bit more? We are applying for the project of our indigenous knowledge management adaptation to climate change Thank you very much and please find yourself a table Okay, so In theory tables are full, but if there's a burning hand I can take it going once Yeah, we have also a tripartite project from Sharka Academy and a local government unit. Our project is rejuvenating the Jackpot banana vegetables Industry in the particularly in the municipality of in Opaqa in the Philippines So I would like to invite the rest of you to join these tables So don't worry. I'm not going to I'm not going to start yesterday's presentations all over again But I do want to put up just two slides To to help jog your memory a bit and to to help you as you approach this task The first is this remember the typical innovation platform stage. We are here, aren't we? We're scratching our heads here And you may be thinking of a goat or sugar cane or fish or whatever the case may be yeah but We want to make sure that we walk away with something that can help you then initiate your platform You probably will touch already on Other elements in the chain They may change as you talk with the other platform members So it's not set in stone But in order to make a good case think about what the focus can be think about what gap you're fixing Think back about tool see Debbie and the challenges that she faced and how concrete solutions came up Try to come up with similar pitches of what your group will do. What are the options? How will you deal with issues like capacity development? Are you planning to do a small pilot or are you planning to do something that can scale? What learning and monitoring systems are you planning to think about think about all of these aspects? We talked a lot about yesterday how to set up and initiate a platform how to facilitate it We talked about its composition Communications power relations think about all of these aspects as you etch out your plan The other thing is and I leave this up for you for you to have is the backdrop, but remember that we talked about five main themes composition and initiation Coordination power and conflicts resources very important when you're trying to set up new Platforms are you using new ones or existing ones? Do you need seed funding? If so, who do you think you can approach to help you make that happen? And what do you need to do in order to convince those entities that this is something worth investing in? Is there something that can be an add-on to an existing program that you already have or does this entail a new? All of these things are things that you can be thinking of now as as you plan this out Yeah, so I don't want to give you too much structure beyond that I want you to have the opportunity to discuss I'll come around and sit with you so we can have discussions in the smaller groups Yeah, but think about How can you champion this? Who do you need to influence and what will you do in the next three to six months? To try and make this a reality for you. Okay as guiding questions Any questions before we go into the small groups? Any questions that you think the whole group would benefit from? So we have one hour before we break for lunch But I'd still like to keep a few minutes for sharing so that you can share with with the plenary So let's take 45 minutes now in your groups to come up with a plan If you like you can start typing it into a laptop so that you have it for for you to work on If you prefer to write it on paper and stick it on things, that's fine as well But do document your work so that when you live here you have this mini I don't like to say the word blueprint because it's associated with technology transfer And we're talking about the heart of agricultural innovation systems But that you have a mini blueprint with you to enable you to go back to okay Great go ahead You're not trying to do everything saying I want to work on indigenous knowledge and how it applies to climate change adaptation Coma in Myanmar, I'm assuming right so you already have a focus around it And what is your plan for the next half an hour? How do you plan to go about this now in a perfect world? You want to end up with a written record? What can be very useful to have for you is a process map of how you personally indigenous knowledge in climate change adaptation in Myanmar We have to initiate fast to the platform what is indigenous knowledge and who will be a Company for this activity So we have to talk at first to look at community So the meaning of look at community we will focus on the most vulnerable regions to climate change in Myanmar and Then we will gather the basic information on the historical data on the climate change and then for the And then in this group the local people farmers and head of the village and agriculture extension will Make the activity together so for Here I would like to explain what is indigenous knowledge in Myanmar So we have many indicators for the climate change For example, we have to look at the insets inset. Do you know insets? Assume The insets are for example cricket. There are so many crickets. You will see in the evening. So This indicator well sure The more morning will be very much sunshine And then another indicator is lizard lizard, you know the lizard. Yeah, I like the ard lizard So they will change their colors of the body on their head. So well change the colors So this is one indicator for our climate change. This is mainly concerned with raining season So the green color well sure very near for the raining So we will decide what will be our focus soon We will be identifying indigenous knowledge So I already explained what are the indicators for the indigenous knowledge and we will use the IK to innovation in addressing issue of the climate change problems and We will identify the effect of climate change into the communities who will be the moors are affected in our regions So for the identity identification of the ocean, so we will have the Documentation what are the indigenous knowledge by this accent to address them? To address the problem so climate change to respond the problem so climate change and In this in this feather this well-contained photograph cartoon mind mapping and infographic Region so the very updated information and very updated technology cannot available. So we have to use the photograph or cartoon chart and mind mudpings and Infographics something like that. So we could not use Electricity in everywhere. That's why we have to use that So to develop indigenous material as equipment for alie winning divides us or for example Bamboo sticker. We will use the very big bamboo stick and then we will hit the very small bamboo sticks or to make a big song so that will be the alie winning system for the Atomic disasters very fine solution for the for this one of you The government that the government and the author authorize parsing in this region Well collaborate together to solve Do some the climate change problem and to set up the policy How well we cope the problem of climate change? So the government will also help us the community absent the community and We will contact the symposium of climate change in every district So we have many different levels for the region So the lowest level is village and then the up level is township and then the up level is Our district so this is like the municipal tease and then the most up level is Country so the most up level is country and the lowest level is village But to double up the capacity to double up the capacity we will practice drills on Thai sister and climate change and we will prepare by using our indigenous knowledge and our Our capacity as a based on our indigenous knowledge Implement and skill to implement and skill app to develop and Standard operating procedure in using indigenous knowledge in responding climate change. So We have to use them standard We have to use them standard operating procedure So we will monitor the most vulnerable regions are According to the changes of the seasons so we will monitor again and again and then evaluate the impact and then we will Set up what will be the best to to Cope the problems or climate change in our desirable regions, so Thank you very much for your kind intention. Thank you very much. So Now there's always a benefit. I said it going first The benefit is that so benefited for much more than two minutes and I was I was very lenient because I didn't announce my Enforcement mechanism ahead of time So for all other groups, this is my enforcement mechanism And after two minutes exactly you will hear this And if you go beyond three minutes that will be all you hear Thank you very much again What we didn't cover and it's okay We can't cover everything in two minutes and you can't brainstorm everything in 30 minutes But one thing that I said I think to every single Group is think about what you personally the champions of the project need to do Monday morning when you go back What do you need to do to get by it because that can be as important as the concept of the project Okay, next group, please Okay. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is our proposal The title is using innovation platforms towards inclusive and sustainable growth in rice-based communities in region, too So we came up with the local name palaya manayon. It's basically rice palay And of course you want our farmers to improve their well-being and of course it has to be done on a community-wide level That's what it's called palaya manayon Well, um, this prop proposal is bill builds on this main problem rice farmers with low-income due to monocrapping So based on our data an average rice farmers only earn 50,000 Pesos a year, which is below the poverty threshold Our goal is first to transform farmers from being crop producers to agrippinore And of course it has a lot of mental interventions there or behavioral interventions second is to shift from production to enterprise driven agricultural Operations in the community and then thirdly is to organize the local farmers into a business entity through a cooperative Our framework would be an enterprise driven farm diversification Intensification and integration. So just to give you an idea of how this works This is basically how it works using rice as the resource base. We can actually introduce a wide range of Possible options of enterprises to the farmers. So these are some of the rice base enterprise options that we can introduce to the farmers First is rice production dairy buffalo production Mushroom production vermic composting high-value crops and fish and of course these are the Possible actors that we can tap. That's all. Thank you Very very nice. I am I'm keep being amazed of how much you can do in half an hour PowerPoint with all the images and everything lined up. I also thought that it was very interesting to see that this group brought together five separate branches of Government entities to work together in the beginning. It was very broad How you were able to narrow it down. So very nice and with 14 seconds to spare Okay, this presentation suggests a continuation of what I had given you a while ago And this is again the project about the adaptive collaborative water governance Okay, this project is following a protocol which is given by this phases phases adopted there are four phases as I mentioned and Meetings have been regular Meetings have been facilitated by UPLB. It's well documented transcripts are ready and We are now using it for another project research Now this water governance the MSc We can say that from the six municipalities doing their own planning Now they have been involved. So one they have been engaged in one meeting Collaborating how to manage the water resource? Before we thought that water is a matter of scarcity, but now we have learned that water in Santa Cruz watershed Is plenty full and it's just a matter of governance the problem about scarcity is about governance but as we move along Collaborating and discussing problems. We have learned that the six monastic Municipalities priority is about waste management and that is also concerned Water water quality is the that I now the the concern of the six municipalities now the problem with the This IP platform is we would like to know the responsibilities of each of the 11 monies 11 institutions Engage now in the IP platform With the addition of one institution, which is the department of the interior and local government local government Now we will be forging we will be forging a an MOA and it will be instituted by that Department Now we would like to see the river council, which will be our Debbie in this case the limas marina Which is the acronym of the six municipalities? Now what we would like to see in the near future is the forging of policy support and Also the scaling up of what we have initiated in another watershed. Thank you Again, I will say other than the concept I hope you don't forget to make some mental note for yourselves of what you will do Monday morning to help Make this into a reality when you go back to your office Okay, who would like to go next okay This is about the community fun. That's what we call because this Credit is a lot of a name different NGO different name. They have saving for change There's a community fun village fun. There are so many names, but in short is the money within the community itself So we discussed with our colleague from law also we come up some a few points But before I give you some background So we have actually 12 NGOs working with us So the total of the saving the video community is a more than five million dollars But there are still more that we not have data yet and the people benefit from that saving is 60,000 people So right now the NGO is assisted in terms of technical Financial, but what we concern is after the NGO finish their project Those group will also know more saving They also divide the money amount themselves and they stop the saving So what NGO asked us to have to assist the the continue those I mean this work so The vendors fishery for this for this Credit we we think that they will be increased our income of the Community itself especially for the household so we will Reuse the informal lending because the informal lending is very high interest rate So the poor people they have no collateral so to buy in the formal from bank from microfinance So they use that money and borrow by themselves among themselves So the interest they go back to themselves. So it's like they borrow them their own money But interest also go to themselves. So that's why we say we reduce the informal lending Also reduce the mitigation Migration because they went to they go to abroad to Thailand to other country to have a job So aside from that is also sharing experience learning among themselves They not only talk the about the money, but they also share other gender issues or Whatever no experience among themselves. That's what we think that is also Learning and of course is also capacity building like they come become a more a series lion in term of financial So this is the benefit that we think that is important So the stakeholders is the stakeholder that I government as Community NGOs and private sectors and the funding we think that is because we also have fun for that We will allocate for fun for that one and the NGOs also so I think this is our Approach we will provide training to them and legalize them as a formal group Also association and we make a guy line with NGO. So this is the thing that we can think of right now. Thank you Thank you very much Good noon For the park and Philippines our project is entitled in strengthening linkages among farmers to government and industries in the park and literally composition and decision of the platform Representations and composition our community is chocolate. Actually, we have five communities. We have the banana vegetables tilapia chocolate and different porous, but for the purposes of presentations we pick up only Study site is in municipality of Inupakan, which has an area of nine thousand six hundred forty six six stars and Repapulation as up to thousand things since source 20,000 500 Actors involved we have the municipal local government unit the academe busy specifically farmers circa institutions institutional buyers processors the non-government the national government agencies the Dole the nr. Do is the DTI If the it's either I'm the non-government organizations target many PCR is we have 35 farmers actually Present we have the 18 existing growers for jackpot, but we plant we plan to increase this number to 35 farmers Our objectives is Facilitated registrations of associations because the Growers we need to register this as their Associations into registering agency the dole then to establish sustainable and viable enterprise establish Sustainable links with market develop the jackpot industry in Inupakan increase socioeconomic Capacity of the target beneficiaries by providing them sustainable additional income source and then the research issues status of land ownership actually the partners in our municipality no land title so Also, they did not own their land usually mostly the partners are tenants the axis to market and then based on the cc's Jack fruit plants has experience in our visibility this circle pay to put a disease so we That is there one of these use Ability availability of supply for quality planting materials because planting materials in our areas is so not so available due to the last two years the Yolanda all of the Municipality in our in their municipality in Niburing municipality in Liti specifically have Planted this jackpot so planting materials for Jackpot is very insufficient Coordination of facilitation some the platforms the process facilitation facility Facilitation baseline profiling to identify them in the pcrs The vacation of industry players Markets and enablers permission of technical working groups identification of the study sites stakeholders meeting discuss the objectives of the inhibition platforms Understand the agenda of each stakeholders have become understanding the core institutions and issues but In coordination of presentations of the platforms we conduct a small group of meetings In Territory process to have a great understanding on the situations. I identify the constraints purely formulate Alternative practical solutions to address the problems engaging other players and enablers create link with market and Procedures coordinate and top government line agencies that called assist in improving the value chain of jackpot in the area Coordinate and co-operate with the local government unit to review some existing projects related to What we will be doing and for monitoring and evaluation to sustain the operations, especially after the inline course of the project That's all. Thank you and And what you can see is that when you try to apply this to existing projects you can very quickly Drill down a lot of details So once you actually bite into your project, you know, you can really flesh this out Our program is about innovation platform for improving performance the sugarcane industry development in Gorontalo One of central production Of sugarcane in Indonesia. This is the condition of sugar production in Indonesia the area and the yield tend to Decrease and then in other side the sugar consumption projection projection Describe that the condition is tend to Increase so we should Provide some program to fulfill the gap Between the consumption and the production. This is the approach we We have to increase the sugar pro production in Indonesia we have to program in existing area and by Extensive Sensification way and the strategic step in accessing area is about private sugar mill optimization budget for state ownership sugar mill and the other is to increase productivity and sugar content and We still face some problem in to increase productivity and sugar sugar content in the Farmers group This is the element of our program We define that if we want to make our program success, we should Make sure the element Provide well we should define well about the target group Locational factor policy focus and synergy sustainability governance and process management and we focus in one of our Problem about the target group. This is the mapping situation Existing condition about the composition initiate initiation Not all stakeholders involved in the forum only dominant farmer Initiation a come from the government and not all participants were actively Involved in the program we expect in the future all stakeholders will be involved and based on for our farmer problems And all the participants collaborate actively and increase the sense of belonging of the program For the issues of coordination and facilitation of the platform the excess condition the program the coordination facilitation and the platform is a top-down approach and Linear approach we expect in the future. It will pass this see battery communication About the resource and incentive the existing condition limited incentive and then the expected is Government and other stakeholders will provide more resources in and incentive about the monitoring and evaluation not Existing condition of monitoring and evaluation not in substantial aspect just formality aspect and we we need holistic monitoring and evaluation so our Program is how we can revert the lies assisting a forum toward the effective innovation platform in the short term we want to evaluate and Identify the stakeholder and the problems in the existing Forum and in the long term we want to develop capacity formulate the solution and implement innovation Platform we want to develop. I think that's all we want to share. Thank you. Thank you very much So that experience was a bit intense, huh? The whole day and a half well this brings the end to my my part of the the workshop it's been a Quite challenging Getting all of this content in such a short amount of time But you've really done a fantastic job in facilitating with and enduring all of what I've dished out especially yesterday, but I hope that The sessions this morning which allowed you to look at it from both from a case study perspective and take it from theory into practice and now to start etching out how you will apply it in your own context Will actually be useful for you as you move forward and that will be able to use these material and these concepts going forward I'll email you again some more links and background information and you have my contacts as well So you can always reach out if there are any questions And other than that, I'll thank you again for your active participation and wish us all a nice lunch Thank you very much
