Strategic assessment of cassava research priorities

Content Provider	Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)
Organization	CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas
Description	Following its official launch in 2012, the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) embarked on a strategic assessment of research priorities for five of its major crops (banana, cassava, potato, sweet potato, and yams). The objective of this exercise was to determine the expected impact each research options would generate in terms of economic benefits, poverty reduction, food security, nutrition and health, gender equity, and environmental sustainability. The priority assessment was a collaborative study conducted by RTB members and partners using a common methodology across all five crops. This report documents the procedure and results of the priority assessment for key cassava research options (steps 3–5 of the RTB priority assessment). The results of the priority assessment exercise are presented and discussed to shed light on the implications for cassava research priorities. Similar reports summarizing the process and results of the strategic assessment are available for the other four crops included in the RTB priority assessment. The results are directly feeding into RTB strategic priority setting. Collated information and estimates obtained have been used to quantify intermediate development indicators (IDOs) supporting the RTB flagship cases and the results can guide budget allocation decision across RTB research areas, crops and regions.
