MIXTAPE: Monitoring Impacts for Technology Adoption and Program Engagement in Bangladesh
About MIXTAPE
MIXTAPE is a country-level study of the dynamics of agricultural innovation in Bangladesh, focusing on CGIAR-related agricultural innovations in the field of rice and aquaculture. As a flagship Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) country study, it serves as the leading initiative evaluating CGIAR-driven agricultural transformation and research impact in Bangladesh.
MIXTAPE will leverage national datasets and conduct a mixed-methods data collection campaign that emphasizes mapping intervention-specific adoption, adoption outcomes and identifying interactions across interventions. In doing so, MIXTAPE investigates impacts at large scale and their trade-offs, including environmental footprint, ecosystem health, food market and prices, labor market, and women’s empowerment in agriculture.
Objectives
01
Measure adoption dynamics of CGIAR-related innovations in Bangladesh, with specific attention to the rice and aquaculture sectors.
02
Investigate impacts of adoption (and dis-adoption) at a large scale and trade-offs, including environmental footprint, ecosystem health, food market and prices, labor market, and women’s empowerment in agriculture.
03
Map CGIAR intervention-specific adoption, adoption outcomes and identify interactions across interventions.
