Announcement: Challenges for African Capacity Building in Agriculture and Organisational Response

June 26 & 27, 2011. Beauvais – France. Pre-Conference: Challenges for African Capacity Building in Agriculture and Organisational Response.

Using the opportunity of the 7th Conference of the Global Consortium of Higher Education and Research for Agriculture (GCHERA), which will be held on June 27 to 29, 2011 in Beauvais, the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and the European Forum for Agricultural Research for Development (EFARD) will organise a preconference workshop.

One of the most important initiatives that will be presented is the Tertiary Education for Agriculture Mechanism (TEAM-Africa), but other specific contributions, either thematically oriented (like UNIBRAIN) or focused on specific areas or subregions, such as the Engagement of West and Central African Tertiary Agricultural Africa Agriculture Development Programme in the CAADP Processes will also be reviewed.

By bringing together all those who are actively involved in agricultural development to share their views, the CIPCAD2 aims to inspire development of new capacity building systems in agriculture around the world, driven by tangible results for poor farmers.
