In collaboration with the Algerian Institut Technique des Grandes Cultures (ITGC), ICARDA hosted a three-day closing workshop for the IFAD-funded project “Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water-Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity in NA and LAC Countries.” 

Held in Setif, Algeria, the workshop was attended by representatives of the National Agricultural Chamber of Algeria, alongside the Director Generals of all implementing and strategic partner institutions, and their research and development teams.
