CMI! 2.0 Power of Voices -UAF (2021-2025) CMI!’s vision is a gender-equal and just world, where all women, girls, and non-binary, gender non-conforming, trans and intersex people enjoy their rights fully and live to their full potential. Our role in bringing about this vision is to support movements to be resilient and leverage their power to create change from local to global, and from global to local, thereby engendering systemic and sustainable change at all levels. Our five-year strategic objective is: political actors, societal actors and donors at local, national, regional and global levels take action to recognise, protect and fulfil the human rights of all women, girls, and non-binary, gender non-conforming, trans and intersex people as a result of strong and autonomous feminist movements holding them to account. Structurally excluded women and girls (women, girls, and non-binary, gender non-conforming, trans, and intersex people) In order for feminist civil society movements to be strong and autonomous39 (an ambitious achievement in itself), self-led WHRDs and WROs go through three intermediate steps - resulting in CMI!’s output (see section 4 and Annex 1, our Results Framework). WHRDs and WROs must be: RESOURCED with the knowledge, resources, and skills for impact, including for L&A. COORDINATED to be able to organise together to articulate priorities and take collective action, including amplifying voices through alliances between structurally excluded movements, linking with more mainstream movements where possible. RESILIENT by having resources, networks, strength and holistic security in place to sustain their work including in the face of backlash and closing civic space, build broader support bases, and expand their work.
CMI! 2.0 Power of Voices- Money (UAF)-Asia CMI!’s resourcing strategy aims to ensure that WHRDs and WROs are supported so that they are able to respond to emergency interventions and take advantage of political opportunities to advance the rights of women and girls. This strategy is about ensuring more funding for CMI! partners and engagement of CMI! constituencies in decision making on grants (participatory grantmaking).
R2G ACF Spain HQ Over the past decades great advances have been made in reducing all forms of undernutrition in children under five (CU5). Nevertheless, almost 200 million CU5 suffer from stunting (low height/age), wasting (low weight/height), or both, and over 340 million from vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is putting even more CU5s at risk. The world is off-track to meet most of the SDG targets related to hunger, food security, nutrition and access to WASH, a critical precondition for good nutritional status. Right2Grow will focus on amplifying the voices of communities, their organisations and local civil society in those places and on those topics that matters. Right2Grow envisions a world where all children under five (CU5) are well-nourished (long-term impact), so that every child is able to reach theirfull potential (ultimate goal). Undernutrition will be addressed multi-sectorally to address each of the underlying determinants of malnutrition, which include: WASH, agriculture, care practices, health, education, social protection, gender norms and household dynamics, and other socioeconomic factors Most vulnerable children (under five) affected by undernutrition.

Broadly protective vaccines for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome and swine influenza virus infections Pig production is the fastest growing livestock sector across Southeast Asia and intensification of pig production has led to an increase in diseases, including respiratory diseases, which are a major cause of economic losses in the pig industry worldwide. Two viruses, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and swine influenza virus, are major contributors to respiratory disease in pigs. Prevention of infection with the two viruses would significantly improve the welfare of pigs in Thailand and minimise economic losses due to respiratory disease. To do this, we will collaborate with Thai scientists to test innovative new vaccines against these two viruses, which will prevent infection and disease.   Because there are many strains of both viruses, the vaccines need to be tailored to the virus strains that circulate in Thailand. Our Thai partners have used their detailed knowledge of these strains and sophisticated molecular biology methods to make vaccine candidates that have the best chance of protecting against the diversity of local viruses.  The candidate vaccines will be tested in the UK to determine whether they stimulate a powerful immune response. Thai scientists will come to the UK to learn these immunological methods. The candidate vaccines that stimulate the most powerful immune response will then be tested in Thailand to see if they can protect pigs against infection with the viruses both under laboratory conditions and in the field.  We wish to understand why these two viruses predispose pigs to severe respiratory disease. To study this question, pigs will be infected with each virus separately or together and the immune responses to each virus will be analysed in detail to learn how the immune response is altered leading to exacerbated disease.  The project will develop broadly-protective vaccines tailored to Thai virus strains and will transfer expertise in immunology and vaccinology to Thai scientists to facilitate the implementation of vaccine programmes for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome and swine influenza viruses in Thailand. These technologies can then be adapted to other pathogens and livestock species.

RCUK-CIAT Newton Fund: Physiological characterization of heat-tolerant bean genotypes in simulated future environments 3.4 million Colombians are employed in primary agricultural production in rural areas on typical wages of less than four dollars per day. Common beans are a major source of protein and mineral nutrition in the diets of the rural poor, but climate vulnerabilities and the post-conflict transition from illicit to food crops mean that rapid introduction of climate-resilient bean varieties to new areas and growers are required.  This study will focus on heat tolerance, as rising temperatures have been predicted to impact very significantly on the areas of Colombia suitable for bean cultivation. A small number of highly heat tolerant bean genotypes have been identified in previous breeding work, and it is proposed to breed the heat tolerance trait from these primary sources into varieties with all the other characteristics needed for widespread acceptance and uptake. At present, the principal means to combine heat tolerance with other traits is via selection of breeding lines in field sites where stressful heat thresholds are normally reached. This process takes years and heat tolerance can be masked by other environmental factors simultaneously at play in the selection environment. The research proposed here involves detailed assessments of the growth and development of existing heat tolerant and susceptible beans under controlled conditions simulating future climates in target regions of Colombia including elevated carbon dioxide levels. By pinpointing in detail the vulnerabilities of susceptible lines and demonstrating mechanisms of tolerance that avoid yield losses, it will be possible in the future to breed for heat tolerance using better targeted selection criteria that will result in shorter breeding cycles and more rapid delivery of climate-smart bean varieties.  As the technologies for breeding new heat-tolerant varieties is developed, the study will also examine the potential economic impact of adoption of beans as a crop in new areas and by new growers, using socio-economic data on current and projected land use, food supply and price in a number of scenarios. It will further appraise the potential economic value of heat-tolerant bean varieties and the rate of return on the underpinning research under a range of adoption scenarios.  The alignment of climate and crop science aimed at more effective breeding for future climates with a socio-economic study of the conditions under which climate-resilient bean varieties can reap significant societal return on investment affords opportunities for the research agenda to be refined to maximise its real-world impact.

RCUK-CONICYT: Utilising functional genomic variation for improved disease resistance in Chilean salmon aquaculture The economic burden of infectious disease hinders sustainable farmed Atlantic salmon production in Chile, and most aquaculture species worldwide. Targeting production of resistant stocks by selective breeding is a long term goal, and will contribute to disease control at a population level. Enabled by advanced genomics tools and technology, genetic improvement of disease resistance can be accelerated using genetic marker data to identify resistant parent fish in breeding programs. Further, the large families and the practical feasibility of large scale disease challenge experiments make salmon excellent models to discover genes and mutations underpinning host response to pathogens. Focusing on two of Chile's most problematic diseases (sea lice and Salmon Rickettsial Syndrome; SRS) in Atlantic salmon, this project will harness these genomic tools to (i) discover genes and functional variants affecting host response to infectious disease in farmed salmon and (ii) improve the use of genomic tools in breeding programs to increase population-level disease resistance via genomic prediction, and reduce the negative impact of outbreaks.  There is now a substantial genomic toolbox now available for Atlantic salmon (e.g. an advanced reference genome assembly and high density genetic marker arrays), this offers an unprecedented resource to locate specific genes and causative genomic variation underpinning host response to pathogens. In the proposed project, we will utilise data and samples previously collected from two large-scale disease challenge experiments (sea lice and SRS challenges. Genome-wide genetic marker data will be generated for all animals, and locating functional variants for resistance to each of the diseases will be achieved using the complementary approaches of (i) high power genome-wide association analysis; (ii) RNA-Seq (gene expression) comparison of the most resistant (R) and susceptible (S) individuals; (iii) Whole genome resequencing of pools of the R and pools of the S individuals combined with functional annotation. In addition to improving knowledge of the fundamental biology of host response to pathogens, these results have potential commercial relevance in at least two important fields. Firstly, the genes identified and their encoded proteins are potential drug or vaccination targets. Secondly, genomic regions and specific variants can be incorporated into selective breeding schemes, via improvement of the accuracy and cost-efficiency of genomic prediction of disease resistance. These results and techniques will lead to improved control of disease in Chilean aquaculture, and also provide a paradigm for tackling infectious disease problems via selective breeding in other farmed aquatic species worldwide.

UK-China Agritech Challenge: CropDoc - Precision Crop Disease Management for Farm Productivity and Food Security CropDoc seeks to exploit existing research on Potato disease identification and outbreak management in the domain of precision agriculture, agriculture digitisation & decision management support. It will harness cutting-edge technologies (i.e. IoT, mobile devices, crowd sourced data, big data analytics and cloud computing). It will build a decision support system that generates insight from multiple data collected from remote sensing above the fields and IoT ground sensing within the fields for monitoring & prediction of disease in real time.  CropDoc will base its data service and analytics platform on open standards and will allow interoperability through open APIs. This will ensure an end-platform ecosystem can emerge that consumes the data & analytics service, allowing farmers to use their platform of choice, while allowing central authorities to identify and manage sector outbreaks.   The initial focus will be on potato late blight disease, one of the most devastating crop diseases in China. In a typical blight pressure season crop protection chemicals cost the industry an estimated $10-20bn per annum. Late blight has been referred to as a 'community disease', due to its ability to spread rapidly from field to field under the right weather conditions. Asexual spores travel easily on the wind when the weather is cool and moist, and can rapidly infect neighbouring fields. As such, understanding the symptoms of the disease and what to do when it is detected are essential to preventing an outbreak from rapidly turning into an epidemic.

Towards BIOSmart livestock farming in Colombia: cultural landscapes, silvo-pastoral systems and biodiversity Colombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world with a large rural population of small-holder, low income farmers. As the demand for meat and dairy increases, livestock farming continues to expand onto land that is not appropriate for farming, causing environmental damage through forest clearance, loss of biodiversity and land degradation. Different national initiatives aim to encourage more intensive and sustainable farming that support farmers' livelihoods and protect the environment and its rich biodiversity. Silvo-pastoral farming is one of those initiatives as it combines forestry and grazing. However due to cultural and social factors, in combination with possible economic and agronomic influences, uptake remains low and deforestation continues.  This interdisciplinary project brings together cultural geography, behavioural economics and ecological expertise from both the UK and Colombia to investigate the cultural and socio-economic reasons for low adoption of silvo-pastoral livestock farming practices that can support livelihood and protect biodiversity. Through farmer interviews and focus groups and existing socio-economic data sets we will develop and test effective mechanisms through dissemination, farmer to farmer engagement and government policy that promote effective uptake and implementation of best practice. Furthermore we will undertake a large scale field trial and quantify the scale dependent benefits of silvo-pastoral practices and forest protection on biodiversity and ecosystem services to provide landscape scale policy relevant guidance on the optimal approaches to promote forest protection and silvo-pastoral implementation at the landscape scale, beyond just the individual farm.  These approaches will help sustainably intensify livestock production whilst protecting forests and other natural areas in order to support economic development, biodiversity protection and social wellbeing in Colombia.
