What We Do
As a coordinating body, FARA works through collaboration with its partners, an approach driven by the principle of Subsidiarity, which devolves the implementation of programmes to the Sub-regional organizations and the National Agricultural Research Institutes NARIs.
In implementing its strategy, FARA mobilizes stakeholders around a portfolio of continent-wide programmes and projects jointly developed with the stakeholders, to address specific challenges or opportunities. Currently, FARA is coordinating the following such initiatives
- DONATA Dissemination of New Agricultural Technologies in Africa
- PAEPARD: Platform for African – European Partnership on Agricultural Research for Development (link to description)
- RAILS: Regional Agricultural Information and Learning Systems
- SSA CP: Sub-Saharan Africa Challenge Programme
- UniBRAIN: Universities, Business and Research in Agricultural Innovation
Going forward with the new strategic orientation, FARA is embarking on the following new continent-wide programmes in the context of the Science Agenda for Agriculture in Africa:
- Adaptation for Future Demands in Agriculture (AFDA)
- Regional Mobility for Capacity Strengthening (ReMoCaSt)
- Africa Human Capital, Science Technology and Agri-preneurship for Food Security Framework (AHC-STAFF)
- Programme for Agricultural Intensification in Africa (PAINT)
- African Special Progamme on the Environment and Agricultural Research (African SPEAR)
- The African Food and Agriculture Policy platform (AFAPP) (link to description)
