Reinventing agriculture in Africa: CGIAR and the Alliance Pioneer Climate Resilience and Agri-Food Innovation

On July 30, 2024, the Dakar office of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT hosted its 3rd Monthly Scientific Awareness Seminar, continuing the tradition of hybrid meetings that bring together both onsite staff and online participants. This session was particularly highlighted by Dr. Mathieu Ouedraogo, who remotely presented the CGIAR’s initiative for Transforming Agri-Food Systems in West and Central Africa (TAFS-WCA). This meeting, part of a series initiated in 2024 to foster dialogue and share advancements, spotlighted significant progress in agri-food systems and stimulated enriching exchanges on innovative solutions to the agricultural challenges of the region, under the leadership of Climate Action in West and Central Africa.
