Tropical Legumes II (TLII)
Enhancing grain legumes’ producJvity and producJon, and the incomes of poor farmers in drought‐prone areas of sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia”
15% increase in produc0on and produc0vity
30% of total area to be covered with improved varie0es
Some 57 million farmers
Funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
TLII SPECIFIC SEED SYSTEM THRUSTS
1. Give farmers’ access to drought‐tolerant varieJes
• Increase produc0on/ stabilize produc0on • Valorize efforts of PUBLIC Breeding • Decrease Food Aid/Seed Aid ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
In Drought Zones • Low harvest • High incidence of ‘disaster’
Poor Farmers may lose seed, need to restock Low purchasing power Need highly adapted varieJes

5 Cross‐ Crop Thrusts
Improve availability of foundaJon/cerJfied seed by NARS/other Public Sector and Private Sector (iniJal supplies/ bulking)
Design decentralized seed producJon modes‐‐ tailored to various clients (decentralized producJon)
Design diffusion‐ markeJng‐‐ tailored to various clients (decentralized distribuJon/markeJng)
Enhancing local capacity to produce delivery store and market (capacity building)
Enhance local‐level awareness of newly‐released varieJes (awareness raising/demand creaJon)

M+E (Agreements Sept 25, 2009) Seed producJon
per Mode of Seed Production
• Cost of Seed Production (versus quality, yields and risks) (disease/health analysis)
• Quantity of Seed Produced
• Analysis of Qualitative Costs and Benefits (and for whom)
M+E (Agreements September 25, 2009) Seed DistribuJon and MarkeJng
• Number of different varieJes distributed per target region
• Overall quanJty of seed distributed • Amount of seed distributed per farmer • Number of farmers reached per region
• Profile of clients (gender, wealth and other key variables of interest: casts? ethnic group?)
• Geographic reach (zones covered), key zones not covered • Knowledge associated with specific modes of seed transfer • Analysis of QualitaJve Costs and Benefits (and for whom)
• Income to farmers/seed producers

Wider Impact
Links with PRIVATE SECTOR:
Provision of iniJal seed for bulking up ProducJon for commercial farmers MarkeJng of seed, including in small packs (agro‐dealers)
Moving grain products on a large scale (export market)
Catalyzing new private sector companies to enter into commercial legume seed producJon
Pro-poor features
Seed produced and available in zones of acJon
Seed cost ‘accessible’, parJally via small packets, or seed loans, or in retail markets
Seed quality to meet end‐user needs
VarieJes to enter local channels on large scale
(ISSUE: how to link PRIVATE SECTOR with PRO‐POOR interests)

Partnerships are a cornerstone of impact-oriented seed systems, Since its inception in September 2007, TLII ‘seed systems’ (Objective 8) has established at least 187 organizational partnerships for seed production and delivery, with many of these formalized through contract or Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). Partners include inter alia; government research and extension systems, private sector companies, seed parastatals, farmer cooperatives, unions and associations, universities, schools, faith-based and non-governmental organizations. Largely because of these partnerships, and focus on organizations’ complementarities, the scale of seed production under TLII has been notable: as of September 2009, 2391 MT of foundation and certified seed and 1111 MT of ‘other’, good quality seed.
