Technical feasibility assessment of mini-hydropower development at selected sites in the Highlands of Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119720
Abstract
Renewable energy sources are climate- and land-resource-smart development interventions. In Ethiopia, because of its topographic nature and high rainfall availability, mini-hydropower (MHP) is one of the most suitable renewable energy sources. However, it is variable in space and time, thus requiring accurate estimations regarding its potential for targeting investment. Because of…

Projected benefits of CGIAR Research
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/120302
Abstract
This report focuses on identifying plausible futures and potential returns on investment in the form of projected benefits for the One CGIAR research portfolio. Literature reviews indicate that returns are high. One meta-analysis of 292 studies finds an average rate of return of 100% on agricultural research after excluding extremely high outliers. In another study of 84 counties, the authors estimate that a 10-percentage-point increase in adoption of…

Abstract
There is a need to find a “middle ground” whereby the complexity, dynamic, and multi-sectoral/multi-actors nature of food systems is captured and boiled down to a handful of key indicators that help prioritize entry points for interventions. Furthermore, the process of identifying those selected indicators needs to follow a clear, transparent, and reproducible protocol/methodology so that…
