Editor’s Note
With the start of the New
Year, a new temporary headquarters for the Africa Rice
Center has been established in Cotonou, Benin, which
promises to be a safe haven for the Center’s scientists
to pursue their important research agenda.
Dr Kanayo F. Nwanze, Director General, describes the
efforts made by the Center to meet the formidable
challenges of this transition and the dynamism with
which the staff have resumed their R&D activities in
their new working place, thanks to their remarkable
resilience and the strong support from donors and
partners.
The article Charting the future of rice in sub-Saharan
Africa reveals a glimpse of the future strategic
directions of the Center’s R&D activities. The News and
notes section highlights the various activities of the
staff, who are vigorously engaged in brainstorming,
planning and doing research in Cotonou, Benin.
