IITA<\/a>\u2013CGIAR<\/a> et six centres nationaux de recherche agricole ont sign\u00e9 les Profils de Produits Cibles R\u00e9gionaux pour les mchare et matooke afin de renforcer les programmes d'am\u00e9lioration vari\u00e9tale des bananes et l'impact de ceux-ci en Afrique de l'Est au profit des petits exploitants et de leurs familles. Cet accord, sign\u00e9 lors de la r\u00e9cente r\u00e9union du R\u00e9seau Bananier d'Afrique de l'Est \u00e0 Kampala, Ouganda, vise \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper et \u00e0 tester conjointement de nouveaux hybrides de bananiers dans les hautes terres d'Afrique de l'Est, en suivant des proc\u00e9dures d'am\u00e9lioration et d'essai standardis\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'accord a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9 par les responsables nationaux de la recherche sur la banane du Burundi, de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo, du Kenya, du Rwanda, de l'Ouganda et de la Tanzanie, en pr\u00e9sence de Hapson Mushoriwa, responsable de la s\u00e9lection \u00e0 l'IITA, et de repr\u00e9sentants de l'Initiative pour la s\u00e9lection acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e de Genetic Innovation. Ces pays repr\u00e9sentent environ 40% de la production banani\u00e8re en Afrique, et cette initiative marque la cr\u00e9ation et le lancement du R\u00e9seau de s\u00e9lection banani\u00e8re d'Afrique de l'Est, qui vise \u00e0 acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer la mise \u00e0 disposition de vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de bananes am\u00e9lior\u00e9es dans la r\u00e9gion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le responsable de la culture banani\u00e8re \u00e0 l'IITA, Rony Swennen, a soulign\u00e9 l'importance du r\u00e9seau, notant que les processus traditionnels de s\u00e9lection des bananes sont longs et co\u00fbteux. Il a insist\u00e9 sur le fait que gr\u00e2ce au r\u00e9seau, la s\u00e9lection et les tests peuvent \u00eatre acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9s, en se concentrant sur la satisfaction des besoins sp\u00e9cifiques des pays plut\u00f4t que de se fier uniquement \u00e0 ce que les s\u00e9lectionneurs peuvent offrir. Au final, les agriculteurs b\u00e9n\u00e9ficieront plus rapidement des nouvelles vari\u00e9t\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tout comme la s\u00e9lection de toutes les cultures du RTB \u2014 bananier, manioc, pomme de terre, patate douce et igname \u2014 est abord\u00e9e ensemble et non pas culture par culture, dans le cadre du projet RTB Breeding financ\u00e9 par la Fondation Bill & Melinda Gates, il est important et pratique que les SNRA travaillent \u00e9galement ensemble malgr\u00e9 les diff\u00e9rents pays et r\u00e9alit\u00e9s qu'ils repr\u00e9sentent, afin que tous b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient du partage des connaissances et de la pollinisation crois\u00e9e intellectuelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le r\u00e9seau vise \u00e0 rationaliser le processus de reproduction en partageant les donn\u00e9es de reproduction collect\u00e9es par quelques \u00e9leveurs. Cet effort collaboratif se concentrera sur le profil produit et la segmentation du march\u00e9, la conception du produit, les essais \u00e0 la ferme, l'enregistrement du produit et le lancement du produit dans leurs pays respectifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afin d'assurer un flux d'informations standardis\u00e9 et syst\u00e9matique pour la prise de d\u00e9cision, le r\u00e9seau suivra des \u00e9tapes et des points de d\u00e9cision de communication tout au long du processus de s\u00e9lection en utilisant le mod\u00e8le RAPID (Recommander, Informer, Approuver, D\u00e9cider, Ex\u00e9cuter). Ces \u00e9tapes comprennent la conception des produits, le d\u00e9ploiement des caract\u00e8res, le croisement et le criblage, les essais pr\u00e9coces, les essais pr\u00e9-commerciaux, l'homologation des produits et l'introduction des produits. Les s\u00e9lectionneurs devront passer par des points de d\u00e9cision, notamment l'accord sur la strat\u00e9gie de culture et le profil du produit, la d\u00e9finition de la strat\u00e9gie de d\u00e9ploiement des caract\u00e8res, la s\u00e9lection des clones pour les essais de rendement pr\u00e9liminaires, l'avancement des candidats pour les essais \u00e0 la ferme et l'avancement des candidats pour le lancement de vari\u00e9t\u00e9s afin de passer \u00e0 l'\u00e9tape suivante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La sp\u00e9cialiste en am\u00e9lioration g\u00e9n\u00e9tique mol\u00e9culaire de l'IITA, Brigitte Uwimana, a conseill\u00e9 : \u201c Les SNRA et les obtenteurs sont encourag\u00e9s \u00e0 appliquer les \u00e9tapes et les portes selon ce qui convient \u00e0 leur travail pour adopter le cadre du flux de communication. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le r\u00e9seau bananier a \u00e9t\u00e9 bien accueilli et salu\u00e9 par les participants comme une initiative transformatrice pour acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer l'am\u00e9lioration de la banane au niveau r\u00e9gional. Celestine Niyongere, repr\u00e9sentante du NARS pour le Burundi, a sugg\u00e9r\u00e9 : \u201c Je recommande de commencer par prioriser les besoins et les demandes des pays et d'utiliser les ressources d\u00e9j\u00e0 disponibles. \u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jules Bagula, le repr\u00e9sentant du SNRA de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 : \u201c L'INERA est dispos\u00e9 et pr\u00eat \u00e0 suivre les proc\u00e9dures de vulgarisation de Mchare et de Matooke. De plus, le nouveau r\u00e9seau est une opportunit\u00e9 pour la RDC d'am\u00e9liorer sa collaboration avec le CGIAR et les autres SNRA impliqu\u00e9s dans la r\u00e9gion. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generose Nziguheba de VIB-IPBO a soulign\u00e9 que les participants devraient envisager l'harmonisation et le partage des donn\u00e9es\/protocoles en observant les politiques des pays et en acceptant les donn\u00e9es de pays sp\u00e9cifiques pour am\u00e9liorer l'efficacit\u00e9 du r\u00e9seau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pendant la r\u00e9union, les participants ont d\u00e9fini les principales activit\u00e9s du r\u00e9seau et les responsabilit\u00e9s des membres. Tous les repr\u00e9sentants des pays ont eu l'opportunit\u00e9 de nommer le repr\u00e9sentant du comit\u00e9 de pilotage du r\u00e9seau pour leurs pays respectifs. Le pr\u00e9sident du comit\u00e9 de pilotage est Rony Swennen (IITA) et les membres sont Alex Barekye (NARO-Ouganda), Mpoki Shimwela (TARI-Tanzanie), Benjamin Kivuva (KALRO-Kenya), Mary Mwanga (KU-Kenya), Immaculee Nishimwe (RAB-Rwanda), Celestin Niyongere (ISABU-Burundi), Jules Ntamwira Bagula (INERA-RD Congo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette collaboration marque une \u00e9tape importante vers l'am\u00e9lioration des efforts de s\u00e9lection du bananier en Afrique de l'Est, en se concentrant sur la satisfaction des besoins sp\u00e9cifiques des agriculteurs de la r\u00e9gion et sur l'accroissement de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire et des revenus gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la culture de bananes \u00e0 cuire am\u00e9lior\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
