SAGA PROGRESS REPORT (12/05-12/06)
&
UPCOMING WORKPLAN (11/06-11/07)
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 have worked with our SISERA partner in Senegal, CREA, to receive around funding
from various sources to support the education conference in Senegal.
- The Ministry of Education in Madagascar has already contributed $200,000 to INSTAT
for the conduct of the survey and related data analysis, and we are finalizing negotiations
for another $75,000 in the year ahead.
- The World Bank has continued to co-finance our work on health facilities in Madagascar
in a collaborative effort with INSTAT, including covering the costs of visits to Cornell
from INSTAT staff, and their collaborative efforts on our joint research.
- EPRC has received a $50,000 contract from the World Bank to analyze the Northern
Uganda Survey, a special household survey of Uganda’s poorest region. Cornell
researchers will provide technical support for this research.
- The second phase of Q-Squared was supported primarily by CIDA and DFID, and third
phase of the Q-Squared is being supported primarily by IDRC and TH Lee Funds.
- Roughly $40,000 in funding was received from USAID Global Livestock CRSP Pastoral
Risk Management (PARIMA) project and the World Bank to help sponsor the June
pastoralism project.
