FANRPAN PROJECTS ALIGNED TO CAADP PILLARS
The Platform for African – European Partnership in Agricultural Research for Development
Objectives of PAEPARD II
Overall Objective:
Build joint African-European multi-stakeholder partnerships in agricultural research for development contributing to the MDGs
Enhanced, more equitable, more demand driven and mutually beneficial collaboration of Africa and Europe on agricultural research for development Feeds into CAADP Pillar 4:
Agricultural Research Technology Dissemination and Adoption Background on PAEPARD I
Major conclusion - a wider range of stakeholders particularly non-research should be included in research proposals in order to better achieve adoption and uptake of research outputs Beneficiaries
African and European non research (private sector, NGOs, Farmer associations) and research scientists
Expected Results
Increased awareness of partnership opportunities in Europe and Africa for agricultural development in Africa.
Improved mobilization and coordination of European ARD stakeholders and African non–research stakeholders
Increased knowledge on European funding opportunities among African ARD stakeholders and support for partnership development will lead to increased number of high quality ARD proposals.
Activities Organized in 7 WPs
