several indicators, including kilocalories available per capita per day, share of the population at risk of hunger, and the number of malnourished children age five or younger. CASE maps currently provide indicators for 15 different scenarios using 3 overall population and income futures, each with 5 dif- ferent climate scenarios. Users can download the indicators by country and region. Te scenarios provide a plausible range of outcomes based on the current policy environment. Tis information can then be used as a starting point for thinking about possible policy and program changes.

HARVESTCHOICE
Te demand for tools to help prioritize and tar- get cost-effective interventions with the greatest impact on food security is increasing among policy and investment analysts and the decisionmakers they support. HarvestChoice is responding to this demand by generating knowledge products that help guide strategic investments meant to improve smallholder livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa through more productive, profitable, and sustain- able farming. HarvestChoice’s hallmark approach is a spatially explicit data and evaluation frame- work designed to beter represent the significant heterogeneity of farming systems and farm house- holds across the region. HarvestChoice’s online resources allow users to
explore data, apply tools, and create intervention- oriented maps that best address their own policy and investment questions. HarvestChoice tools can extract information from multiple fine-resolu- tion data layers selected by the user. By selecting demographic, market-access, and crop-production layers, for example, users can tabulate population, travel time to markets, and crop-area atributes of any geographic area they specify.

Te Agricultural Domain Visualizer/Reporter
(ADVizR) allows users to map, tabulate, and chart a broad range of subnational agricultural develop- ment indicators according to selected geographic domains (for example, districts, agroecological zones, watersheds, farming systems, or market- sheds). Users select, in sequence, their target Sub- Saharan African subregion or country, as many as 20 development indicators of interest, and the spe- cific geographic domains by which the indicators should be reported. One of the HarvestChoice interfaces provides
access to a suite of spatial data exploration and reporting tools (including the core functions of ADVizR). Te website also offers options for third parties to embed these tools in their own sites.

RESAKSS: REGIONAL STRATEGIC ANALYSIS AND KNOWLEDGE SUPPORT SYSTEM
Te Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) was established in response to the growing demand for credible information and analysis during the design of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). As a knowledge manage- ment platform, it offers smallholders, researchers, policymakers, and development professionals eas- ily accessible data, analysis, tools, and research evi- dence. ReSAKSS is intended to promote dialogue and facilitate the review, learning, and adoption of best practices associated with the CAADP agenda and increase awareness of agriculture’s role in pov- erty reduction and food and nutrition security. ReSAKSS operates as a multicountry network
of collaborating partners represented by regional web-based platforms. It is organized around three main activities: (1) strategic analysis: providing
