Objectives of the presentation

To create awareness on the application of RAAKs model in assessing IRBM context To demonstrate application of RAAKs tools
Basic concepts of RAAKS

What is RAAKS? RAAKS stands for Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Knowledge Systems a framework developed with the main purpose of providing tools for actors involved in some common issues to share knowledge for development. Centers on team building, communication and joint learning. All actors involved are considered relevant in the search for innovative solutions for specific problems Participatory action-research methodology that allows stakeholders to analyse their role in IWRM
RAAKS has three operational objectives

to identify opportunities for intervention to create awareness among actors of the constraints and opportunities of the issue under consideration to identify actors who can overcome specific constraints or act on specific opportunities.
RAAKS has three principles:

joint inquiry into the social organization of innovation on IRBM Multiple analytical perspectives Social learning on the intervention options
RAAKS has three phases

Phase A: defining the problem; Phase B: analysing constraints and opportunities; Phase C: planning for action These phases do not suggest a strict chronological order
A. Problem definition
Problem analysis Defining objectives Actor identification Tracing diversity in mission statements
Problem Tree Analysis

Helps to scan the ground reality and define a workable problem Building a better understanding of the underlying causes of problem; Building stakeholder consensus The steps are 1st state the core problem 2nd identify the causes (immediate and root) 3rd identify effects (immediate and ultimate)
Problem analysis of Pastoral livelihoods

climate change (drought, flood & RF variability) depletion of natural resources (overgrazing & population growth)
research/knowledge gap
under developed water resources
vulnerable livelihoods
limitted water access
tradeoffs in water use (investment vs community)
mode of pastoralism (mobility)
poor IRBM
lack of grass root participation & justice enforcement
gender inequality
Objective analysis
mitigate climate change (drought, flood & RF variability) conservation of natural resources
to fill knowldge gap
enhance pastoral livelihoods
improving water access
developed water resources
optimize the use of water resources
land and water use planning enhance grass root participation in planning & implementation improve gender equality
IRBM
B. Constraint & opportunity analysis

Actor analysis (characteristics of the actors) Task analysis (who does what and how in the system?) Coordination Analysis: directly controlling
STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS Stakehol der Relative import ance (1-3) Main tasks in the case study area Potential and Interests Expectations Deficiencie s Linkags with other Stakehol ders Other remark s

C) Intervention Planning
Knowledge management analysis - starting points for action Action Planning Who will be responsible for what, how? what roles do your organization play?
Discussion points
What actors (organizations, groups, and individuals) are relevant in the water sector of the pastoral livelihoods? What are the interests/objectives of these actors? Is there a shared objective? What is the role of your organization in improving pastoral livelihood? What relevant information/knowledge networks do the actors already utilize?
Intervention options
List a number of alternatives as per the objective tree Make an assessment of the feasibility of the these alternatives. Select one of the alternatives as the activity strategy. What must be done to improve pastoral livelihoods through IRBM? Write one intervention option on one card Not more than 3 lines Real and possible solution
Thank you
