Partner organizations in PAEPARD

Low ARD capacity in Africa Density of researchers per population (65x lower in the South than in the North) Stagnation in the past two decades African participation in EC 6 th Framework programme

Participation of African organizations in FP6 INCO projects Small number of projects and uneven geographical distribution

FP7 2008/09

PAEPARD activities Identify key stakeholders and priority research areas Develop information and communication systems Strengthen capacities of selected organizations to build effective ARD partnerships and conduct high quality research Lobby for more resources to be allocated to agriculture and ARD

Expected results Improved mobilization and coordination of European and African ARD (research & non–research) stakeholders Enhanced access to information and better knowledge sharing Stronger multi-stakeholder partnerships for agricultural innovation Greater coherence of EC research programmes with MDGs and areas of mutual EC-Africa interest

Expected results Improved mobilization and coordination of European and African ARD (research & non–research) stakeholders Enhanced access to information and better knowledge sharing Stronger multi-stakeholder partnerships for agricultural innovation Greater coherence of EC research programmes with MDGs and areas of mutual EC-Africa interest
