The document discusses the implementation and outcomes of the smart-valley project in Africa, which focuses on enhancing rice-based systems through the development of low-cost, replicable interventions. It highlights the training of field technicians and farmers, the establishment of numerous demonstration sites, and the subsequent large-scale adoption of these practices. Additionally, it explores the potential for using geospatial technologies to monitor adoption rates and model diffusion pathways for improved agricultural impact assessments.

- 5. Demonstration site (2013) Project intervention Smart-valley demonstration site
- 6. Project intervention Smart-valleys: Participatory low-cost development approach for rice-based systems in inland valleys that is easy to replicate. (drainage canals, field bunds, land levelling and where possible irrigation canals) Demonstration site (2013) Smart-valley demonstration site Project approach: Development of demonstration sites and stimulate diffusion and adoption. Training field technicians from national partners, extension services and NGO’s, as well as lead-farmers. Achievements: 60+ demonstration sites developed in Togo and Benin (2012-13) 100+ field technicians trained 100’s of farmers trained on-the-job Large-scale adoption observed (2014)

- 18. December 30, 2013 Gnatre demonstration site, Kara province, TOGO - Can we monitor adoption with geo-spatial techniques? Object-based image classification + change detection analysis Using high-resolution imagery. Can we monitor adoption with geo-spatial techniques?
- 19. December 30, 2013 Gnatre demonstration site, Kara province, TOGO - Can we map and model the diffusion pathways? • Adoption takes place in inland valleys • Adoption take place close to demonstration sites (buffers) • Adoption requires a road network (travel distances from extension services) Spatial analysis & modelling in GIS Required: detailed inventory of adoption sites and existing diffusion pathways Can we map and model the diffusion pathways? monitor adoption with geo-spatial techniques?
- 20. December 30, 2013 Gnatre demonstration site, Kara province, TOGO - Can impact surveys be targeted better using geo-spatial information? ? Improved accuracy? Improved sample selection? Can we monitor adoption with geo-spatial techniques?
