Country-level work will involve several stages and outputs, including:

• Background work: completion and production of scoping papers
• Constraints analysis in different sites in the country to identify constraints limiting agricultural growth
• Policy process analysis, exploring how agriculture policy is treated both locally and nationally
• Scenarios workshops: bringing collective information together to identify different scenarios and trajectories of agricultural and livelihood change
• A disaggregated assessment of the role of agriculture in economic growth and poverty reduction, highlighting potential impacts of different intervention options
• Identification of institutional reform and technology intervention options to get different agricultures moving
• Identification of policy blockages and opportunities for change
• Understanding of and engagement with the policy process to facilitate change
• Highlighting of emerging themes and issues for further investigation
