Working Group Formation and Discussions Assessing potential benefits Assessing adoption likelihood Assessing scientific potential Assessing research capacity Results and interpretation of priorities Priorities within ARDOs Wrap-up session Close Fisheries Research and Development Priorities for Vietnam WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES  Assess the national priorities for fisheries research and development in Vietnam  Develop a plan for developing priorities and implementation strategies for each of the ARDOs following the national workshops WORKING IN GROUPS All participants will be seated in mixed pre-selected groups The majority of work will be in these groups The composition of groups will be changed as needed throughout the workshop There are some basic “rules” for working effectively in workshop groups:  recognise that each person’s opinion is valid  take responsibility       for contributing  for understanding 2:1 rule  criticise but after positive feedback listen actively  use ‘and’ instead of ‘but’ express yourself concisely keep to time turn off mobile phones – use only during coffee and lunch breaks For each workshop session:  make sure people are allotted the task of taking notes  watch the time Discomfort zone: issues may arise during the workshop that either cannot be resolved quickly or are not appropriate for the workshop These issues should be recorded in the “discomfort zone” Fisheries Research and Development Priorities for Vietnam EXPECTATIONS OF WORKSHOP/PARTICIPANT INTRODUCTION [Purpose is to ensure participants know who is there, where they come from, what skills are represented, and consolidate expectations of the workshop] Group discussion Each participant  Who am I – name, affiliation, responsibility, interest/experience  What I want to happen at this workshop  What I don’t want to happen at this workshop [2 minutes per person] Tables  Pool expectations  Decide on cards per table for each of wants and don’t wants Report back One person from each table to provide brief pen picture of the table (2 per table) Facilitator collect, group, paste cards [Reporting to be on CARDS to enable visualisation of the output

and international) to this sectors that have important implications for their future  What are the major issues internal to this sectors that have important implications for their future Identify the issues and implications, recording issue and implication on different coloured cards Half tables consider external issues and half tables consider internal issues NOTES Fisheries Research and Development Priorities for Vietnam RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES METHODOLOGY OUTLINE OF THE PRIORITY SETTING METHODOLOGY1 INTRODUCTION The primary objective behind Research & Development (R&D2) priority assessment is to determine the broad research programmes that will provide Vietnam with the greatest return on investment in R & D provided by government and other major stakeholders Priority setting is the central issue of research and extension management It is a complex task It must be done in a systematic framework able to allow the results to support open and robust decision-making about research and extension resource allocation and management The highest priority R & D is that which has the highest economic, social and environmental value to the nation Choices must be made about the Areas of Research and Development Opportunity (ARDO) to support, and which not to support If there are no established priorities, then the choices made will be unlikely to produce results of maximum benefit to Vietnam At worst, the results will be irrelevant and provide no return for the public investment involved is as ph Em asis ng ph ro Em St ng ro St d it e m Li EC TI V IT SE L IN C

described here at corporate and division levels and it has been used in more than 60 other research organisations in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, USA and Europe The conceptual analytic framework is based on the one published by the Industrial Research Institute, New York in 1986, viz: R N Foster, L H Linden, R L Whiteley and A M Kantrow, Improving the return on R&D-I, in 'Measuring and Improving the Performance and Return on R&D', IRI, New York (originally published in Research Management, January 1985) Development includes technology development and transfer using transfer mechanisms including extension Fisheries Research and Development Priorities for Vietnam In the past the research and development program is driven by MoFi staff using an allocative process In the future MoFi will fund research under an open and contestable process without bias The aim is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of investment into research and to develop a research environment that encourages a high degree of innovation Under this process MoFi will clarify the priorities for research investment and define the broad outcomes expected that investment The research providers will submit research proposals and budgets that will contribute to achievement of these outcomes In a “perfect world” those projects that offer the best value for money will be supported There is a range of methodologies available for R & D priority setting Selection of the most appropriate methodology for Vietnam is driven by: The need to use a consultation process that involves a large number and diverse range of stakeholders; The need to develop ownership of priorities amongst MoFi and research institute staff, farmers, exporters, processors and marketers The absence of detailed and reliable statistical data on production, profitability, and markets; The need to move from R & D focussed on production and subsistence/food security to R & D emphasising profitability, quality, marketing and commercial systems; The need to use an objective process that evaluates the likely economic, social and environmental benefits to Vietnam; The capacity to undertake appropriate research An important principle is to implement the process and learn from experience, doing what make sense rather than worrying about academic perfection THE METHODOLOGY Specific principles about priority setting include:  Consider areas that are easily related to the benefits from research (the purpose of the research) not research disciplines – often called Areas of Research and Development Opportunity (ARDO)  These areas should be mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive, consistently based, forward looking and manageable in number  Linked to and consistent with the research financing the process  Criteria are independent  The criteria used should consider: o The potential economic, environmental, social, institutional and scientific benefits from successful R&D o The context within which R&D products and services will be used o The state of development of required research tools and techniques and the health of appropriate disciplines o The availability of research skills and infrastructure  Importantly, priorities are relative; the lower the priority of an area the greater the selectivity in choosing projects within them, as illustrated in Figure Fisheries Research and Development Priorities for Vietnam The model recommended for use in Vietnam is a five-step process Define broad Areas of Research and Development Opportunities (ARDOs) at he subsector level Prioritise ARDOs at the sub-sector level From the results of the sub-sector prioritisation establish ARDOs at the sector level (these may combine some of the sub-sector level ARDOs into a larger grouping Prioritise ARDOs at the Sector level Prepare workshop reports and a National R&D Investment Portfolio and Policy Statement Members of the Monitoring and Evaluation Network have benefited from training in the priority setting methodology and have facilitated a pilot work designed to develop competence in the methodology and in workshop leadership and facilitation It may also be useful at the sub-sector level to identify the research strategies (inputs) such as biotechnology, nutrition, pest and disease management etc that are likely to provide the largest gains in high priority ARDOs ARDO Definitions The final form of ARDOs will need to be decided and approved A logical approach is to develop ARDOs at the sub-sector (Crops, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries etc) level first and use the methodology to prioritise them From the results of these workshops a sector set of ARDOs could be prepared This will involve debate and in some cases compromise At the Sub-sector and sector level it is desirable to have less than 15 ARDOs as larger numbers become unmanageable Large high priority ARDOs within a sub-sector may become a sector ARDO, but smaller and lower priority ARDOs may be aggregated For example sheep and goats may be aggregated into small ruminants or maybe beef, dairy, sheep and goats into ruminants ARDO need to be defined in terms of goal, scope and coverage The goal describes the results expected from all the research in the ARDO - e.g for fruit “Improved yield, quality, safety and potential to access high value markets” Scope defines the broad research input areas (disciplines) and Coverage the species or scale of production As an example the “Pilot Workshop” developed some definitions – e.g Pigs Ruminants Industrial crops National Goal: Enhanced productivity and profitability of the pork industry Scope: research that enhances the breeding, husbandry, nutrition, disease management, production systems, hygiene, waste management, quality management, transport, marketing and system integration Coverage: small to medium-scale piggeries National Goal : Enhanced productivity and profitability of the ruminant meat and milk industries Scope: research that enhances the breeding, husbandry, nutrition, disease management, hygiene, waste management, quality management, transport, and marketing of meat and milk Coverage: beef, dairy cattle, goats and sheep National Goal : Enhanced productivity, production area planning and profitability of industrial crop industries Scope: research that enhances the yield, pest and disease management, Fisheries Research and Development Priorities for Vietnam quality, post harvest storage and handling, processing, marketing of existing and new crops, sustainable use of natural resources Coverage: rubber, pepper, coffee, sugar cane, tea, coconut, cashew and oilseed crops Aquaculture National Goal: : Enhanced restocking of natural resources, productivity and profitability of aquaculture industries Scope: research that enhances seed production, nutrition, husbandry, disease and aquatic resources management and environmental management Coverage: land-base and marine species - crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster), finfish (grouper, tilapia, carp, snapper, bass, milk fish, mullet), molluscs (clam, oyster, shell, pearls), seaweed and plankton ARDO Priorities The model used to form R & D priorities is a relatively simple It asks participants to evaluate the overall merit of R & D investment in each ARDO, in terms of Attractiveness to Vietnam and its Feasibility in Vietnam A scoring scheme is used to compare and rank the ARDOs Scoring is an effective way to allow a group to take all factors critical to the decision into account in a logical and open way The relative scores for each ARDO are developed in structured group discussions in terms of four independent criteria These are: Market & Production Potential Benefits for Vietnam Factors Working For & Against Achievement of Potentials Potential Contribution of R & D to Development R &D Capacity Within Vietnam The relationship between these four criteria is shown in the assessment framework below The relative rankings and positions of the ARDOs are important They indicate the best “areas” for research and/or extension investment When the priority-setting group represents researchers, extension workers and academics, farmers, politicians agricultural industry and other stakeholders, the methodology ensures that the best recommendations possible at the time are made An example of the outcome of the priority setting process Fisheries Research and Development Priorities for Vietnam 10 Figure Plot of attractiveness versus feasibility for a hypothetical set of eight ARDOs showing their priority rating on the basis of their return to Vietnam RETURN FROM R&D FOR EACH AREA OF RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY 100 90 80 70 60 Attractiveness 50 40 30 20 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Feasibility In Figure 1, two ARDOs (# and # 8) score the highest for both attractiveness and feasibility They are located in the top right hand corner of the graph They warrant strong research and extension emphasis, and are the highest priority group of ARDOs Those located more towards the centre of the graph (# 3, # 5, # and # 7) warrant selective research and extension emphasis and can be classed as moderate priority The two with low scores for both attractiveness and feasibility (# and # 4) justify only limited support and have a low priority ARDOs # and # have similar attractiveness scores, but ARDO # scores higher on feasibility In this hypothetical example the lower feasibility score for ARDO # occurs because the skills available to carry out the research and or extension are considered to be inadequate When the necessary skills are acquired, the two ARDOs would otherwise be equal claimants for research resources Attractiveness is determined by factors other than research and extension, such as markets, profits, employment, social and cultural benefits, so while ARDOs # and # have similar feasibility scores, # is more attractive, and could be allocated more resources for research and extension Priority Products within ARDOs The ARDO scope lists all of the commodities/products within each ARDO At the subsector level workshops it may be useful to use a simple process to rank these based on the views and perceptions of workshop participants At the end of this process, high priority crops within high priority ARDOs will be defined This will provide guidance on where to focus the research effort (i.e the scope) should be but will not provide guidance on what aspects of research (the nature) should be undertaken Research Strategies Once high priority crops within high priority ARDOs have been determined it is useful to assess what areas of R & D inputs should be emphasised The question to ask is, what R & D inputs (R & D disciplines) are likely to provide the greatest impact Impact is normally a function of the size of the response expected, the length of time it takes to obtain that response and if the response is permanent For example traditional plant breeding normally produces relatively small responses, they usually take a long time to achieve, but any gains made are permanent (or almost so) On the other hand fertiliser Fisheries Research and Development
