Clustering of Emerging Themes Systems On the basis of the matrix in Table 3, the following theme systems emerged: Seed policy and regulation implementation being addressed by EBA and TASAI – Public expenditure relevant to seed sector a lot of question marks about how this will be addressed and work to be done looking at – – National Agricultural Investment Plans and commitment to seed sector development Inputs R&D / breeding / crop improvement to some degree, measured already especially – – publicly bred varieties Information management statistics / data for monitoring still lacking - inadequate capacity development both – – – public sector and private (STAs) Delivery Quite diverse many topics / information requirements – Coordination of delivery systems at different levels – Outputs Much emphasis on number and type of preferred varieties Some specific issues Outcomes Whole cloud on use of quality seed of farmer-preferred varieties Understanding of availability, affordability, quality and accessibility (both output/outcome) 4.4 Points of Emphasis Interests of Stakeholders – The differing interests of the Stakeholders were noted as follows: National more focus on Systems, Inputs and Delivery – RECS and Donors more on Outputs and Outcomes – CAADP, Development Organizations and Private Sector–interests are spread across the spectrum 4.5 Important Observations from the matrix matching supply with demand From left to right across the matrix (i.e. from Systems e.g.Regulatory to Outcome), both the ease and cost of data collection increases It is logical that the indices presented tend to skew to the left
