Co-design workshop for the wheat water productivity tool

The development of the Wheat Water Productivity tool has been progressing smoothly. The development process began with stakeholder mapping, following a series of individual and group meetings with three key stakeholders: the Ministry of Agriculture, the Agricultural Transformation Institute, and the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research.

A co-design stakeholder workshop was successfully conducted on August 28 and 29, 2023, at ILRI Campus in Addis Ababa. The primary objective of this workshop was to collaboratively design the application features, taking into account the drivers identified through the utilization of available in-situ information from stakeholders, the WaPOR portal, and the human and financial resources available for operation and maintenance. Furthermore, the workshop aimed to establish a roadmap for the co-development of the tool. This roadmap included identifying data requirements, data collection and sharing processes
