DISSEM-INN project activities

To achieve its objectives, the DISSEM-INN project will implement three main activities (see the timeline below).

Presentation of activities

The overall objective of the DISSEM-INN project is to ensure the capitalisation and valorisation of the knowledge and practices generated in terms of the production and dissemination of innovations within the eight DeSIRA projects involved.

In the long term, it is expected that DISSEM-INN will achieve the three following outcomes:

  • First, the participants in the DeSIRA projects concerned will have shared knowledge of the approaches, outcomes and lessons of the other DeSIRA projects, enabling them to reflect on their own approaches.

  • Second, discussions have begun at the national and sub-regional levels to identify advocacy options for scaling the shared innovation approach of the DeSIRA projects concerned and their results.

      For the national level, the DISSEM-INN project will organise a workshop to support advocacy actions in Senegal*, given that more than half of the DeSIRA projects concerned are present there. The focus is on scaling up the "DeSI" innovation approach common to all DeSIRA projects.

    • For the sub-regional level, the DISSEM-INN project will organise an inter-DeSIRA workshop to develop and regionalise the discussions launched on the scaling process. This time, the focus is on promising results, understood as promising innovations developed by DeSIRA projects.
  • Finally, beyond the participants in the DeSIRA projects concerned, a wider range of actors from research, development and civil society in the Sahel region will have access to the knowledge produced by this regular dialogue on innovation in easily accessible and understandable formats.

Timeline of DISSEM-INN's activities
* This national workshop was supposed to be replicated in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali, but given the political and security context in these countries, DISSEM-INN had to replace these national events with an inter-DeSIRA regional workshop so that all projects involved in these countries could continue to be part of the process engaged.
