The
Africa Rice Center is Relocating
 The
conflict in Côte d'Ivoire has exacted a heavy toll on
the staff and families of The Africa Rice Center - WARDA.
Even as the Africa Rice Center community were mourning
the tragic death of Robert Carsky, the continuing strife
required the evacuation of staff from Bouaké. Management,
research and administrative staff will be relocated to
Cotonu in Benin. Africa Rice Center staff normally located
in Senegal and Nigeria will continue work as usual at
those locations.
"We were greatly saddened that the hostilities
cost the life of Bob Carsky, one of our leading scientists,"
said Kanayo Nwanze, Director General, The Africa Rice
Center. "We are resolved to carry forward his legacy,
and continue in our efforts to mobilize science for
African development. We thank all members of the CGIAR
family who have extended their most generous support
to us during this severe crisis."
