=Standard short text introducing the Program=

The Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) program comprises three research for development projects supported by the United States Agency for International Development as part of the U.S. government's Feed the Future initiative.

Through action research and development partnerships, Africa RISING will create opportunities for smallholder farm households to move out of hunger and poverty through sustainably intensified farming systems that improve food, nutrition, and income security, particularly for women and children, and conserve or enhance the natural resource base.

The three regional projects are led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (in West Africa and East and Southern Africa) and the International Livestock Research Institute (in the Ethiopian Highlands). The International Food Policy Research Institute leads the program’s monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment. http://africa-rising.net/

En français Le programme de recherche Africa RISING, qui comprend trois projets de recherche pour le développement, est appuyé par l’Agence Américaine pour le Développement International (USAID) en relation avec l’initiative ‘Feed the Future’ du gouvernement américain.

Au travers de partenariats de recherche et développement, Africa RISING va créer des opportunités pour permettre aux petits exploitants agricoles de se défaire de la faim et de la pauvreté grâce aux systèmes d’intensification durable pour améliorer l’alimentation, la nutrition et la sécurité de revenus, en particulier pour les femmes et les enfants, tout en conservant ou améliorant les ressources naturelles.

Les trois projets de recherche sont dirigés par l’Institut International d’Agriculture Tropicale (IITA) en Afrique de l’ouest ainsi qu’en Afrique de l’est et australe et par l’Institut International de Recherche sur l’Elevage (ILRI) dans les hauts plateaux éthiopiens. L’Institut International de Recherche sur les Politiques Alimentaires (IFPRI) coordonne le suivi, évaluation et analyse des impacts pour le programme. [[1]]


Standard tagline 'Transforming African agriculture through sustainable intensification'

En français 'Transformer l’agriculture africaine par l’intensification durable'


Tools[edit | edit source]

Web Statistics[edit | edit source]

PDF version of these tools: File:africa-rising_comms tools_oct2012.pdf


Africa RISING communication and knowledge sharing activities and tools help us to:

- inform, engage with and influence wide audiences

- translate outputs into outcomes, getting knowledge into use

- improve our effectiveness by enriching learning, interaction and exchange

- capture, publish and disseminate our products and outputs

- improve internal communication, by linking and connecting teams


Each project has its own capacities and support for these activities; a team at the program level provides cross-project support and resource, including event and process design and facilitation. Below is a list of the main tools we are using.
