SAGA PROGRESS REPORT (12/03-12/04) &
UPCOMING WORKPLAN (1/05-12/05)


VI. LEVERAGE

Apart from the time and travel of its PIs, SAGA’s budget is relatively limited. It would not have been possible to achieve what we have to date, nor will it be possible to complete all that we have planned, without complementary funding from non-SAGA sources. Fortunately, we have been quite successful at leveraging SAGA funding with support from other institutions. The flexibility inherent in our cooperative agreement with USAID enables us to both create and respond to opportunities in a timely fashion, which is consistent with the demand-driven nature of our approach to defining research topics, providing technical assistance, and engaging in policy outreach. While we have mentioned many of these throughout the report, we highlight them again here:
  • We arranged for our SISERA partner in Senegal, CREA, to receive around $100,000 funding from the World Bank and UNICEF to support the education survey in Senegal.

  • ISSER received $708,225 in funding from USAID/Accra to support research on land tenure.

  • ISSER received $300,000 in support from the ACBF to start the Economy of Ghana Network.

  • DPRU and TIPS received a substantial level of support from GTZ, IDRC, and the Freidrich Ebert Stiftung (SA) for their 2004 conference.

  • Following on the DPRU/TIPS conference, ISSER will receive support from the World Bank to run a continent-wide conference in 2005.

  • EPRC will receive support from the World Bank and the Bank of Uganda to run a conference on Uganda’s economic progress and prospects in 2005.

  • The Ministry of Education in Madagascar already contributed $200,000 to INSTAT for the conduct of the survey and related data analysis and has committed to another $120,000 in the year ahead.

  • The World Bank financed the health facilities survey in Madagascar in a collaborative effort with INSTAT.
