KANGA, ORCE E. FAAL, ORSA ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (ESMF) SUMMARY Project Name: TECHNOLOGIES FOR AFRICAN AGRICULTURE TRANSFORMATION Project Number: P- Z1-A00-016 Country: MULTINATIONAL Department: AHAI Division: AHAI.2 Environmental Category: 2 1. Introduction TAAT is a flagship program of the African Development Bank’s Feed Africa Strategy designed to mobilize proven agricultural technologies that will increase production and value addition of key agriculture commodities. The program aims to overcome two key challenges attributed to the adoption of agriculture technologies i.e., limited consideration of newly emerging agriculture technologies (required to boost agricultural production) by regional member countries (RMCs) causing them to fall short of their impact targets and poor commercialization of emergent technologies by private enterprises such that farmers are unable to access them. The TAAT program is anchored on a knowledge and partnership framework that will demonstrate the applicability and sustainability of selected agricultural technologies and innovations in recommended agro-ecological zones with collaborative efforts of Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) centers, Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, (AGRA), and national agricultural research and development systems. TAAT will identify new production technologies with proven benefits; engage a wide range of stakeholders (including public and private sector) in their dissemination and distribution; and incorporate this process into a spectrum of RMC’s Feed Africa investment projects that are designed to eliminate food insecurity and promote agricultural revenues. Ultimately, TAAT will address Africa’s growing dependence on imported foods by identifying the agricultural production targets of key commodities and formulating the necessary conditions for achievement, particularly setting an enabling policy environment, innovative financing and ensuring needed capacity development. TAAT will catalyze investments into agro-chemical, biotechnical and allied industries, strengthening integrated skills development, marketing and entrepreneurial capacity. It will stimulate commercial financing of agribusiness, with emphasis on women and youth. The TAAT program has been classified Environment Category 2 under the African Development Bank (AfDB)’s Integrated Safeguards System (ISS) with the requirement for the assessment and application of appropriate measures to manage the potential risks of TAAT activities. The program activities include promotion and demonstration of proven technologies in selected countries, which will potentially stimulate borrowing from these countries. These demonstration activities may result in unintended site-specific environmental consequences. More so, specific details of the scope, location and local environmental and social conditions are still largely unknown. Therefore, the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is the appropriate instrument that will identify the procedures for managing the potential known and unknown environmental and social consequences of the TAAT program. The goal of the ESMF is to identify the significant environmental and social impacts likely to result from the implementation of TAAT and thereby establish a process of environmental and social screening, which will permit the institutions in charge of the implementation of the program to identify, assess and mitigate the adverse consequences of the proposed interventions. 2. Description of Programme The overall program development objective of TAAT is to execute a bold plan to achieve rapid agricultural transformation across Africa through raising agricultural productivity in selected Priority Intervention Areas (PIAs) targeting specific agricultural commodity value chains. The PIAs include: Self-sufficiency in Rice Production; Cassava Intensification; Food Security in the Sahel – The priority value chains include Pearl Millet, Sorghum, Groundnut, Cowpea, Beef, Small Ruminant Meat and Poultry; Transforming African Savannahs into Breadbaskets- This PIA will focus on Maize, Soybean, Poultry, Yam, Dairy; Revitalizing Tree Plantations - This includes Oil Palm, Cashew, Coffee and Cocoa; Expanding Horticulture- This includes the Vegetable, Sweet Potato, Banana/Plantain and Beans; Increasing Africa’s Wheat Production; and Achieving Self-sufficiency in Inland Fish Production. TAAT will support centrally managed activities and promotion of key technologies in select countries. The overall TAAT activities is proposed in 35 countries and 23 Commodity value chains albeit in three tiers1 and include program management and coordination, program services (including policy support, capacity development and outreach, youth in agribusiness support, and the services of the Clearinghouse), and core implementation activities of the agricultural commodity value chains. 1 Tier 1 activities will focus on 10 counties and nine (9) commodities The program will demonstrate the applicability of proven technologies in each PIA/ value chains to engender and catalyze downstream investments from the private and public sectors as well as development partners. It will be implemented through the following components: Component 1: Productivity, Production and Competitiveness IITA and the other CGIAR implementing centers and their relevant National Agricultural Research and Extension Systems (NARES) will work using a participatory approach to: (i) disseminate proven agricultural technologies and innovations that significantly increase productivity, production and competitiveness; (ii) value chain development, and (iii) ensure inclusivity. This component will facilitate the dissemination of proven technologies and innovations to farmer organizations, youth agri-preneurs, and other value chain actors. The activities will include (i) deployment of technologies (planting materials, e.t.c) following well-defined recommendations domains and pathways, (ii) training on use of technologies and good agricultural practices (GAPs), and (iii) linking farmers to input and output markets, facilitate access to credit and insurance service by farmer organizations to reduce production and price fluctuation risks. The proposed technologies were screened and selected by the AfDB and independent experts based on their proven advantages and capacity to address specific constraints along the value chains. Examples of selected technologies include improved crop/livestock varieties resistant to multiple stressors including climate change, integrated soil fertility management (ISFM), integrated pest management (IPM), biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), nutrient use efficient (NUE), and land use efficient (LUE) technologies among others (complete list of proposed TAAT technologies can be found in Annex 1). Component 2: ENABLERS This includes four sub-components namely Capacity Development and Outreach, Policy Support Services, ENABLE-TAAT, and the Clearinghouse. i. Capacity Development and Outreach: FARA will lead this sub-component and assist training, outreach and promotional programs. To ensure demand-led capacity development interventions that cut across the eight PIAs, FARA will adopt a generic approach that can be customized to each PIA. ii. Policy Support Services: Led by IFPRI, this subcomponent will ensure that technology dissemination takes place in an enabling environment and complemented by all necessary institutional and regulatory interventions. iii. ENABLE-TAAT: IITA Agripreneurs shall lead work on ENABLE-TAAT. This subcomponent will execute promotional and demonstration activities to underpin the yield enhancing and other attributes of the technologies. ENABLE-TAAT includes activities of youth and women in target agribusinesses and focused mainly in the Competitiveness sub-component of Component 1 (e.g., issues related to processing and value addition). iv. Clearinghouse (C-House): The ‘C-House’ is an agricultural transformation incubation platform aimed at facilitating partnerships, program design/implementation to help reach millions of farmers with appropriate agricultural technologies, and reducing transaction costs. The objective of the C-House is to take proven agricultural technologies to scale in a commercially sustainable fashion through the establishment of a mechanism to facilitate partnerships and provide access to expertise required to design, implement, and monitor progress of crop, livestock, and aquaculture campaigns. The Clearinghouse will make sure that TAAT supported programs are accountable for targeted yield and productivity increases, environmental compliant and well tested. The Clearinghouse activities include: . Conduct an assessment/mapping

  • Norman Borlaug
    Norman Borlaug Melinda Smale, Michigan State University I’d like to offer some illustrative examples of how scientific partnerships and exchange of plant genetic resources in international agricultural research have generated benefits for US farmers and consumers. 1. It is widely accepted that the greatest transformation in world agriculture of the last century was the Green Revolution, which averted famine particularly in the wheat and rice-growing areas of numerous countries in Asia by boosting levels of farm productivity several times over, lowering prices for consumers, raising income and demand for goods and services. Most of us here are familiar with the history of this transformation. • You will remember that the key technological impetus was short- statured varieties that were fertilizer responsive and didn’t fall over in the field when more of the plant’s energy was poured into grain rather than the stalk and leaves. • Less well known is that the origin of the genes that conferred short- stature in wheat was a landrace from Korea--transferred to Japan, named Daruma, and bred into Norin 10. Norin 10 was named for a Japanese research station, tenth selection from a cross. Later, Norin 10 was brought as a seed sample by an agronomist advisor who served in the MacArthur campaign after WWII. At Washington State University it was crossed to produce important US wheat varieties. The most extensive use of Norin 10 genes outside Japan and the US was by Norman Borlaug, who won the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize. He was the founder of the World Food Prize (won, for example, by Gebisa Ejeta).

  • Technology and the Africa Rice Center
    Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative University of New Mexico http://danielsethics.mgt.unm.edu Debate Technology and the Africa Rice Center ISSUE: Should genetic modification be used to further economic development? In Africa, the rice industry is represented by the Africa Rice Center, formerly known as West Africa Rice Development Association (WARDA). The mission of the center is to contribute to poverty alleviation and food security in Africa, through research, development, and partnership activities aimed at increasing the productivity and profitability of the rice sector in ways that ensure the sustainability of the farming environment. The association started in 1970 and today boasts twenty-two African nations as members and partners with many international organizations, including the United Nations, European Commission, and the World Health Organizations. In carrying out its mission, the center recognizes three key barriers, including (1) low productivity and sustainability of rice, (2) poor quality of the marketed product, and (3) unfavorable market and policy environment. To overcome these issues, the center established a strategic plan, including the use of research and development protocols to bridge genetic diversity and produce new variations of rice and disease-resistant crops. The center's current technologies allowed for the introduction of NERICA (New Rice for Africa) rice varieties. NERICA was created by crossing O. glaberrima and O. sativa, two species of rice that demonstrate different strengths and weaknesses when grown in Africa. Rice farmers had long hoped to combine the best traits of the two species, but efforts had been fruitless. In the early 1990s, WARDA breeders turned to biotechnology in an attempt to overcome the infertility problem.
