IITA, through its FoodNet program, has won the bid to set up a Web-based Crop and Livestock Market Information System (CLiMIS) in southern Sudan. According to Dr Victor Manyong, acting R4D Director who will lead the team, the Institute will help the FAO and relevant government entities of that country to design and implement the system as well as build the capacity of intended users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CLiMIS will provide an online system that will enable local experts in southern Sudan to generate, store, analyze, and disseminate market information on selected crops and livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A team of five experts of IITA-FoodNet from Ug anda will move soon to Juba, southern Sudan to begin work on this new project,” Manyong said. “This consultancy is an important first step towards spreading our wings into Sudan.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FoodNet is a regional research network on marketing and agro-enterprise development in Eastern and Southern Africa established by IITA since 1999. The network has a wealth of experience in developing efficient, reliable and relevant Market Information Services in Eastern and Central Africa. The network also played a vital role in supporting the development of the Google Trader, a mobile phone-based service that has been recently launched in Ug anda that links farmers and traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 propos de l'IITA<\/b>
L'Afrique est confront\u00e9e \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes complexes qui minent l'agriculture et la vie des populations. Nous d\u00e9veloppons des solutions agricoles avec nos partenaires pour lutter contre la faim et la pauvret\u00e9. Nos recherches pour le d\u00e9veloppement (R4D), maintes fois r\u00e9compens\u00e9es, reposent sur une r\u00e9flexion cibl\u00e9e et autoris\u00e9e, ancr\u00e9e dans les besoins de d\u00e9veloppement de l'Afrique subsaharienne. Nous travaillons avec des partenaires en Afrique et au-del\u00e0 pour r\u00e9duire les risques pour les producteurs et les consommateurs, am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 et la productivit\u00e9 des cultures, et g\u00e9n\u00e9rer de la richesse gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'agriculture. L'IITA est une organisation internationale de R4D \u00e0 but non lucratif cr\u00e9\u00e9e en 1967, dirig\u00e9e par un Conseil d'administration et soutenue principalement par le CGIAR.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
