Approach for impact

  • Quality of research
  • Research for development (R4D)
  • Close collaboration with partners

– National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) – Regional organisations (CORAF, ASARECA, FARA) – Farmers and farmers’ organisations – Private companies – Universities and research institutes – Donors – Development organisations

  • Capacity development
  • Gender mainstreaming

Highest potential for increased maize production in West and Central African savannah due to:

– high solar radiation, – low night temperatures – low incidence of diseases

Constrained by:

– recurrent drought – Striga hermonthica – low soil fertility
