| Announcement International Symposium on agricultural development - in the EAC partners states | Kilimo Trust | By December, 2013, all the EAC partner states will have celebrated 50 years since independence. To commemorate this period, Kilimo Trust together with the EAC Secretariat and ASARECA are organizing an International Symposium on Agriculture (ISA) to be held from 4th to 8th November, 2013 at Serena Hotel Kampala, under the theme Agricultural Development in the EAC: lessons from the past 50 years and prospects for the future.

| Report -BecA ASARECA training workshop on AIS & VCD March 2014 | ASARECA | The approaches to agricultural research for development (AR4D) have evolved over time on the basis of changing implementation paradigms; with the most recent being the Agricultural Innovations System (AIS) and Value Chain Development (VCD) approach. The 2 approaches hinge on interactions among the different R&D actors, which enhance innovation, technology adoption and better markets .A major challenge confronting the AR4D community is the understanding of the two concepts and how to integrate them in the design, implementation and evaluation of AR4D. ASARECA aims to enhance regional collective action in agricultural research for development, extension, training and education to promote economic growth, fight poverty, eradicate hunger and enhance sustainable use of resources in the ECA. As ASARECA embarks on implementation of its second operation plan (2014- 2018), there are increasing demands for ASARECA and its NARs partners to adopt systems and practices of agricultural research that are responsive to farmers needs and sustainably impact on the lives of the poor. The ILRI BecA Hub is an initiative developed within the frameworks of centers of excellence for science and technology in Africa and aims to provide a common biosciences research platform, research related services and capacity building opportunities for the region. Recognizing the synergy in their functions, the BecA-ILRI Hub and ASARECA have agreed on collaborative mechanisms for capacity building for the ASARECA less competitive NARS. The focus will be on selected areas such as AIS and Value Chain Development (VCD), proposal writing for resource mobilization, leadership and management and institutional mentoring. This report is on the first AIS and VCD workshops conducted from 24th - 28th March 2014 at Jacaranda hotel in Nairobi Kenya. The workshop drew participation from a total of 22 participants. The participants comprised of 19 senior research scientists/project managers representing 6 ASARECA countries namely Burundi (6), DRC (3), Madagascar (3), Rwanda (4), S. Sudan (3) and TZ (1) including 2 BeCA fellows and 1 independent participant. |
