The African Highlands initiative has a challenging mandate. While charged with developing approaches to operationalize participatory natural resource management at farm and landscape levels, approaches must also be researched so that others may learn from AHI's experiences. Futhermore, in recognition that agricultural development is not only about enabling the mobilization of local-level resources, AHI must learn how to add value to local initiatives to enable farmers to overcome critical development bottlenecks. One of the most significant challenges to operationalizing this complex agenda lies in balancing quality research with quality development. This brief shares progress made toward this end.
