Brochures and Pamphlets

In this flyer you will find 3 new groundnut varieties recently released in Mozambique by IIAM (Mozambique Agricultural Research Institute) under an APPSA funded project led by Dr. Amade Muitia. Overall, these varieties are tolerant to droughts, early/late leaf spots and rosette and yield around 2.5 tons per hectare. The names of the varieties are Mapupulo-018, Amena-018 and AMM-018.

APPSA Brochure

This brochure describes the new CCARDESA ICKM System.

This brochure presents the 'Promotion of Science and Technology for Agricultural Development (PSTAD) in the SADC region' project, which has been implemented by CCARDESA.

The project was supported by the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), and implemented sub-regional organisations (SROs) and National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) in 34 African countries with funding from the African Development Bank. In the SADC sub region, PSTAD was being implemented in Angola, Malawi, Madagascar, Mozambique, Lesotho and Zambia.

The goal of the PSTAD project was to increase agricultural production and contribute to the achievement of food security and poverty reduction in Africa. Its main objective was to build the African agricultural research knowledge management capacity and support the dissemination and adoption of new and proven agricultural technologies.

This new pamphlet describes CCARDESA's mandate and activities in strengthening the exchange of information, better communication and Knowledge Management through its new ICKM System for Southern Africa.

This resource is a flyer explaining the SADC Adaptation to Climate Change in Rural areas in Southern Africa (ACCRA) programme which is being implemented by GIZ and CCARDESA with financial support from the German Government (BMZ)

Promotion of Science and Technology for Agricultural Development (PSTAD) is a project which falls under Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) Access to Knowledge and Technologies function. It it implemented by the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) in partnership with Sub-regional Organisations (SROs), CORAF, ASARECA and CCARDESA and National Agricultural Research Institutes (NARs) of participating countries.

The Sub-Saharan African Challenge Programme (SSA CP) is a continental initiative, led by Forum on Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), which started in 2004 with the aim of finding a solution to the observed low contribution of the agricultural sector to national economic and social growth. At that time it was established that the agricultural sector was faced with a range of constraints which led to the under-performance of the sector. One of these constraints was the vertical nature of how agricultural research was organised. This led to the proposal for a new approach to agricultural research, known as Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D) as an alternative to the linear model, commonly referred to as the Agricultural Research and Development (ARD) approach.

This brochure decribes briefly the maize lethal necrosis (MLN) disease, its economic impact, how to detect it and ways to deal with it.

The Competitive Cashew initiative - ComCashew (formerly African Cashew initiative - ACi) is a private-public partnership project under the implementation of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Currently in its third phase, ComCashew focuses on building a sustainable cashew value chain and increasing the competitiveness of African cashew production and processing by constituting a new era of multi-stakeholder partnership in development cooperation.
