PAEPARD Definition
Platform for AfricanEuropean Partnership on Agricultural Research for
Development
Context of PAEPARD Agriculture is sector with largest potential for
enhancing economic growth on African Continent (SSA countries)
Support for agriculture – Funds for agriculture research reducing
EC funding (EDF,FP7) for agricultural research
Challenge : Research be demand led - Quality of partnerships improved
Objectives Overall:
Build joint African-European Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships in ARD contributing to achieve the MDGs
Specific:Enhanced, more equitable, more demand-driven and mutually beneficial collaboration of Africa and Europe on ARD with the aim of attaining the MDGs
PAEPARD Expected Results
Increased awareness of partnership opportunities in Europe and Africa for agricultural development in Africa;
Improved mobilization and coordination of European ARD stakeholders and African non–research stakeholders;
Increased knowledge on European funding opportunities among African ARD stakeholders and support for partnership development will lead to increased number of high quality ARD proposals.
Major Activities Mobilization of European stakeholders and African
non-research stakeholders; Information and knowledge management of
opportunities for partnership between African and Europe;
Capacity building on partnership building within a multi-stakeholder innovation partnerships;
Partnership brokerage between African and European stakeholders;
