The portfolio remains the same as last year. CIP clearly describes the minor changes from last MTP in Outputs, which are mostly mergers of previous planned Outputs. The MTP project narratives and logframes also reflect the changes in response to the last EPMR (2002). CIP reports that the Center has nearly completed the implementation of the 18 EPMR recommendations: two of them have 2006 as a target (conduct a priority setting of NRM and relocation of social sciences resources); and two will be fully addressed in 2007 (consistent framework and skills on sophisticated statistical approach for collection and analysis of basic data and, budgetary quality and transparency). The SC notes that the implementation process has been slow, as the Center’s next EPMR is scheduled to start

  • Integrated Irrigation and Aquaculture in West Africa: Concepts, Practices and Potential
    CCOVEROVER [[Converted].aiConverted].ai 33-03-2006-03-2006 12:21:2012:21:20 INTEGRATED IRRIGATION AND AQUACULTURE INWESTAFRICA—Concepts,practicesandpotential ANDAQUACULTURE IRRIGATION INTEGRATED FAO This volume contains background documents and papers presented at the FAO-WARDA Workshop on Integrated Irrigation Aquaculture (IIA) held in Bamako, Mali, from 4 to 7 November 2003, as well as the findings of FAO expert missions on IIA in the West Africa region. The rationale for IIA development lies in its potential to increase productivity of scarce freshwater resources for improved livelihoods and to reduce pressure on natural resources, which is particularly important in the drought-prone countries of West Africa where water scarcity, food security and environmental degradation are priority issues for policy-makers. Irrigated systems, floodplains and inland valley bottoms are identified as C the three main target environments for IIA in West Africa. Many examples M of current practices, constraints and potential for development of IIA are Y provided. The concepts of economic analyses of IIA are reviewed, and an CM overview of regional and international research institutions and networks MY CY and their mandates as they relate to IIA is given. Key factors for successful CMY adoption of IIA – participation of stakeholders and support for local K development, an integrated, multisectoral approach to IIA and improved knowledge management and networking – indicate the way forward and are reflected in a proposal for IIA development in West Africa.

In 1992 ICLARM became one of 15 research centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Re- search (CGIAR). The CGIAR alliance mobilizes agricultural science to tackle poverty, foster human well-being, pro- mote agricultural growth and protect the environment. Major partners of WorldFish and the other CGIAR Centers include national agricultural research systems, interna- tional and regional agencies, conserva- tion groups, non-governmental organi- zations (NGOs) and companies in the private sector.
