Sub-regional project

Project closed in December 31st, 2017: Capacity Development of Cashew Value Chain Actors in West-Africa (ACi-CD) stakeholders

✓Project Completion was developed in English,French;

✓about 4,300 direct beneficiaries ( 12% beingwomen);

✓10 technologies were generated and disseminated;✓200 ha was covered by the improved technologies;✓39 students (45% of women) were coached for

their Masters;✓5 Scientifics articles published;✓The results of the project can be seen on

http://coraf.applisig.com

Sub-regional project: Ongoing

Soil fertility project-FERTORAO (Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Mali and Senegal)

Results of the first year of evaluation of the selected organic

fertilizers show improved performance in terms of crop yields

compared to the control plots, irrespective of commodities and

countries.

Joint field visits (researchers, providers of organics fertilizers,

CORAF) in Senegal (July 11-12 & October 11-12, 2018) and

Ghana ( October 25-29th ).

Data collection for the 2nd agricultural Campaign is ongoing in implementing countries

Example of yield obtained as result of the 1st year in Burkina Faso (FERTORAO) on Tomoto

• T1 : Témoin sans apport de fertilisant

• T2 : Fertilisation Minérale recommandée (100 kg/ha de NPK : 14-23-14)

• T4 : Biodeposit Elixir+Biodeposit Agro + Fertilisation minérale recommandée

The Capacitating Stakeholders in Using Climate Information for Enhanced Resilience in the Agricultural Sector in West Africa (CaSCIERA-WA): Benin, Guinea, Niger and Togo

Regional training were organized on:

• data merging of 19 participants

• historical climate data analysis of 24 participants

• awareness in Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture-PICSA of 27 specialist

• use of SARRA-H and SARRA-O tools for operational monitoring of crops and harvests estimation

In country training were facilitated on:

• PICSA, 117 ToT and 71 farmers were touched

EFFECT OF THE CASCIERA-TA TRAINING IN TOGO

The meteorology of Togo produced:

94 alertsbulletins on heavy rain

As result of PICSA training in Kara:

A platform fordissemination andsharing of informationhas been created. It iscalled "PICSA-KARAAPPROACH"

25 persons weretrained in the used of the platform.

Response to Fall Armyworm (FAW) proliferation in West Africa

The task-force (TF) established on No. 17th: Maize, Roots and Tubers, Dry cereals NCoS, IITA and CORAF representatives

The TF has developed a proposal to
