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.
