Livelihoods Impacts
As a result of the various interventions, over 869,000 rural farming households have benefited from the Technologies Innovations and Management Practices, which have impacting over 57million individuals directly and over 63 million people indirectly.
Going forward, ASARECA has purposed to focus on:
- Commissioning, brokering and managing strategic research partnerships to address identified regional priorities in the most effective, efficient and synergetic ways.
- Nurturing pathways for on-time delivery and scaling up of regional agricultural research results to deliver agricultural outcomes and impact.
- Mobilizing, allocating and managing regional AR4D investments to support generation of regional agricultural research public goods and services.
- Monitoring and evaluating returns on AR4D investment and repackage lessons and best practices to inform decision-making processes and actions.
ASARECA now appeals to the Governments of member countries to continue supporting jointly identified priority projects and operations at the Secretariat. In the same breath, ASARECA urges Development Partners to continue providing their priceless financial and technical support, which has made a difference in the livelihoods of the sub-region.
As always, we pledge to manage, facilitate and backstop actions to ensure value for money from all investments entrusted to us.
