The Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) has been running a very active blog for over a year.
Thanks to a small group of very active bloggers this tool has became an interesting place where one can find regularly updated information on ARD-related activities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The blog posts are often accompanied by video interviews with people commenting on the events and issues covered by the articles.
The articles cover regional events, like the recent FARA meeting with AGRO ECO in November 2008 and the SCARDA Agricultural Research Management (ARM) Course in December 2008, as well as relevant international events having an impact on ARD, like the recent meeting on “Agricultural Knowledge Sharing, Education & Learning: Needs and Priorities” (co-organized by GFAR, CGIAR, COL and YPARD) and the CGIAR AGM, both held in December in Maputo, Mozambique.
