We also want to know of the challenges and lessons learned in the project implementation that could be useful to future projects. And we are happy that SARD-SC project was efficiently implemented.\u201d\n\nChrys Akem, the Project Coordinator, thanked the team members and AfDB for giving SARD-SC the opportunity to implement such a huge project. He expressed satisfaction at the achievements of all the commodities including the wheat and rice value chains which the team had visited in Tunis and Abidjan, respectively, before coming to Ibadan.\n\nIssaka Amadou, M&amp;E Specialist, and Accountant Seyi Fashokun made presentations in their respective fields of M&amp;E and finance. Discussions then ensued on the outcomes and impact of SARD-SC cassava and maize activities and the Project Completion Report (PCR) findings, prepared by Dr Yaya Sabo, a PCR consultant. At the end of the mission, the Bank\u2019s team drafted an Aide Memoire that highlighted the general implementation achievements of the project including lessons learned, with inputs from participants of the PCR.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The African Development Bank was in IITA, Ibadan, Nigeria, on 2\u20133 November for a 2-day end-of-project Supervision Mission on the Support to Agricultural Research for Development of Strategic crops (SARD-SC) project.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":16531,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"tags":[1836],"science-area":[],"program":[],"location":[32],"news-type":[],"hub":[61],"crop":[],"impact-areas":[],"item-year":[195],"class_list":["post-16530","news-item","type-news-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-iita-news-no-2409sard-sc","location-nigeria","hub-western-africa","item-year-195"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
