Africa Climate Leadership Program (AfriCLP) is dedicated to strengthening the leadership capacity of beneficiaries from 15 African countries that includes academics, researchers, development practitioners and policy experts.
The project aims at developing, testing and sharing a conceptual framework for implementing and assessing gender-responsive information and communication technology (ICT4scale), for scaling agricultural solutions in rural regions.
A detailed situation analysis reveals key linkages between meagre services, insecure land tenure, and unjust governance institutions in Nairobi’s informal settlements.
More than 50,000 farmers in Nigeria and Benin are helping another 200,000 farmers learn how to use less fertilizer to produce higher yields and better quality vegetables.
There is as yet no evidence that the Côte d’Ivoire lethal yellowing (CILY) disease phytoplasma is seed transmitted to cause disease in progeny palms.
Increased knowledge of insect vectors and alternative hosts contributes to developing an effective control strategy for phytoplasma diseases such as Côte d’Ivoire lethal yellowing (CILY) disease in Grand-Lahou.
Healthy chicken husbandry empowers women, feeds families and builds the resilience of the farming system as a whole. Up to 98% of families in rural Kenya keep small flocks of chickens, mainly local or ‘indigenous’ types.
Localized application of small quantities of fertilizer (micro-dosing), combined with improved planting pits for rainwater harvesting, has generated greater profits and food security for women farmers in the Sahel.
75% of populations living near wetlands have better food security, mainly through direct consumption of wetland products such as fish, vegetables and fruits, along with the use of wetlands for growing crops (rice, vegetables, coco yams and maize).
Maize, rice, beans, cassava, sweet potato, fish and groundnuts are among the most important food commodities in Malawi. Losses along the post harvest (PH) chains are fuelled by inefficiencies in handling, storage and preservation methods.
