      abstract = {With increasing recognition holding the promise of  overcoming the outstanding problems faced by
African  agriculture, IAR4D faces the danger of being ‘blurred’ by  past approaches and falling
short of its potential to  deliver the desired impacts in diverse multi-stakeholder,  biophysical, socio-economic, cultural, technological and  market contexts unless its actualisation and working  is
clearly understood. In this paper, we present the  conceptualisation and principles of and
knowledge-based  experiences and lessons from the implementation of the  sub-Saharan Africa
Challenge Programme (SSACP) in the Lake  Kivu Pilot Learning Site (LKPLS). The presentation
covers  the formation and facilitation of IPs for the actualisation  of IAR4D to evolve mechanisms for
the early recognition of  interlinked issues in natural resource management,  productivity and value
addition technologies, markets,  gender and policy arrangements. These have  autonomously
triggered flexible, locally directed  interactions to innovate options from within or outside  their
environment for resolving the challenges, and have  moved along a new institutional and
technological change  trajectory. Emerging lessons point to the endowment of IP  members with selfhelp
knowledge interactions, training in  IAR4D, quality of facilitation and research to be  key
determinants of the power behind of self-regulating  mechanisms.},
