General Objectives: the wider goal is to promote the impact and uptake of European IPM research output to manage pests of field and stored crops and livestock and thus improve livelihoods of the poor in the developing world. IPM provides economically, environmentally and ecologically
sound food security through contributing to sustainable agriculture (SA). Actions will
capitalise on the comparative advantage of the European resource base, harmonise EU
development action, promote coherence, and maximise benefits of development cooperation.
Objectives: Problem oriented research training at African Universities, at PhD-level and supportive MSc-level, aiming at human and infrastructural capacity building for field research in environmentally sound crop, soil and water management for sustainable agriculture in semi-arid Africa. Expansion of the application of this so called "Picnic" model of University research training in Africa and lately in Asia. In initial phases emphasis is on University staff development but in later phases other NARS staff is trained at these Universities.
Objectives: The Inland Valley Consortium (IVC) is an eco-regional research partnership under the aegis of the West Africa Rice Development Association. Its aim is to adapt and develop, in concerted action and using an agro-ecological approach, suitable technologies and a knowledge base for integrated agricultural land use management and operational support systems for intensified but sustainable use of inland valleys in West Africa.
Objectives
This consultation is expected to serve as an opportunity for GFAR to involve a broader platform of
donors potentially interested in supporting the activities led by the Global Forum. After Dresden 2000,
this second triennial Conference will ¿take stock and look forward¿. Thus this particular consultation
would allow a ¿face-to-face¿ dialogue involving multi- and bi-lateral donors to openly discuss various
expectations from their points of view and concerns as well as their related commitments towards the
GFAR Business Plan.
