The influence of maize density on resource use and productivity: an experimental and simulation study by Jagtap, S.S., Alabi, R.T., Adeleye, O.

“…Although simple and easy, the use of the CERES-Maize model in sub-Saharan Africa may be limited due to access to daily weather data, detailed soil data and computers. Using the simulated outputs as inputs, second order polynomials with density as the independent variable were fitted to the data to develop summary models that are more accessible in an intellectual and practical sense. …”

Shrinking a large dataset to identify variables associated with increased risk of Plasmodium falciparum infection in Western Kenya by Tremblay, M., Dahm, J.S., Wamae, C.N., Glanville, William A. de, Fèvre, Eric M., Dopfer, D.

“…We extracted predictors for Plasmodium falciparum infection, from a large covariate dataset while facing limited numbers of observations, using data from the People, Animals, and their Zoonoses (PAZ) project to demonstrate these techniques: data collected from 415 homesteads in western Kenya, contained over 1500 variables that describe the health, environment, and social factors of the humans, livestock, and the homesteads in which they reside. …”

Development of a participatory action research approach for four agricultural carbon projects in East Africa by Shames, Seth, Bernier, Quinn, Masiga, Moses

“…The tools were generally successful in gathering the desired data, although modifications could allow future efforts to target questions to interviewees more effectively, include additional stakeholder groups such as government agents and project service providers, develop capacity for local-level data collection and analysis, and focus additional attention on local-level innovations and landscape-level coordination. …”

Capacity Development Indicators for the second phase of CGIAR Research Programs by CGIAR Consortium Office

“…This document provides a framework to capture the multi-dimensionality of the concept of capacity development.Under each of the 10 elements of the framework, the document identifies a minimum set of composite indicators that we consider a ‘good enough’ proxy for overall progress, and a medium provide numbers that could be monitored over time. Making sense of the numbers and verifying that they are indeed tracking overall progress will require collecting and analyzing qualitative data regularly, and using other complementary methods such as Most Significant Change or storytelling. …”
