About [Edit]
The Sahel programme consists of a team of experts working with national teams in Mali, Senegal, the Gambia, Niger and Burkina Faso using participatory approaches that place scientist, farmers and development agents in a co-knowledge creation and dissemination process, capitalizing on farmers’ expertise and their knowledge sharing strategies.
Effective dissemination pathways are being identified and used to accelerate the dissemination and adoption of promising agroforestry innovations. Activities take place within a research-development continuum that links environmental protection with food and nutritional security and increased farmers’ income, as well as connecting local and global issues. The programme helps to strengthen the capacity of institutions and individuals to undertake agroforestry research, development and education.
Major themes
Scaling up the use, adoption and impact of agroforestry based innovations
Soil fertility improvement for enhanced crop and high value agroforestry tree species productivity and increased farmers incomes
Capacity building and agroforestry education
