CGIAR Regional Plan for Collective Action in West & Central Africa

To avoid overlaps and duplication of research activities and efforts of CGIAR Centers operating in Africa, the Regional Collective Action Plans for West and Central Africa (WCA) and Eastern Africa were initiated by CGIAR Centers and their partners as part of a new way of “doing business” together.

For WCA, the leadership is provided by WARDA. CGIAR Centers, together with partners like FARA, CORAF/WECARD and NARS, were involved in the development of the WCA Action Plan. Five priority joint programs have been identified and approved by FARA for follow-up.

The Regional Plan for Collective Action is expected to help stakeholders to have better research coherence, efficiency and impact in the region.
