Plus de 70 membres du personnel de l'IITA se sont r\u00e9unis au Malawi pour \u00e9laborer des strat\u00e9gies et planifier des r\u00e9ponses aux d\u00e9fis qui compromettent la transformation des syst\u00e8mes agroalimentaires en Afrique australe. Les pays d'Afrique australe n'ont pas re\u00e7u de pluies ad\u00e9quates lors des campagnes de production 2023\/24 et ont enregistr\u00e9 des r\u00e9coltes inf\u00e9rieures \u00e0 la moyenne, ce qui a r\u00e9duit la capacit\u00e9 d'achat des m\u00e9nages et provoqu\u00e9 des niveaux \u00e9lev\u00e9s de pauvret\u00e9 et d'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La retraite d'une semaine, plac\u00e9e sous le th\u00e8me \u2018 Prosp\u00e9rer ensemble \u2019, a r\u00e9uni des participants d'Angola, du Malawi, du Mozambique et de Zambie qui forment le p\u00f4le de recherche et d'administration de l'IITA pour l'Afrique australe (SARAH). L'objectif principal de la retraite \u00e9tait de finaliser le cadre strat\u00e9gique du p\u00f4le tout en favorisant les liens au sein de l'\u00e9quipe gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s de consolidation d'\u00e9quipe et \u00e0 une r\u00e9union publique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans ses remarques liminaires, le directeur de SARAH, David Chikoye, a soulign\u00e9 la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 pour la strat\u00e9gie actualis\u00e9e de l'IITA 2024-2030 d'\u00eatre ax\u00e9e sur les r\u00e9sultats et pleinement align\u00e9e sur l'agenda de recherche et de d\u00e9veloppement des partenaires. La strat\u00e9gie de recherche actualis\u00e9e de l'IITA vise \u00e0 fournir efficacement des innovations qui transformeront les syst\u00e8mes agroalimentaires africains. Il a \u00e9galement d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que le portefeuille de recherche du p\u00f4le doit \u00eatre bien d\u00e9fini et align\u00e9 sur les besoins et les priorit\u00e9s agricoles nationaux et r\u00e9gionaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c Nous avons d'\u00e9normes d\u00e9fis en Afrique australe qui n\u00e9cessitent une expertise et une infrastructure scientifique. Nous sommes heureux que l'IITA investisse dans notre infrastructure de p\u00f4le et donne aux agriculteurs les moyens d'agir gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 de nouvelles innovations. Nous voulons que la nouvelle strat\u00e9gie r\u00e9ponde aux besoins de nos agriculteurs tout en prosp\u00e9rant ensemble pour stimuler les innovations agricoles en Afrique \u201d, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Chikoye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entre autres activit\u00e9s, la retraite a examin\u00e9 les cadres et strat\u00e9gies nationaux et r\u00e9gionaux pertinents afin de contextualiser le travail de l'institut dans la r\u00e9gion, a analys\u00e9 les tendances futures affectant la transformation de l'agriculture et a examin\u00e9 les le\u00e7ons tir\u00e9es de la mise en \u0153uvre de notre strat\u00e9gie 2012-2022 pour d\u00e9gager les implications strat\u00e9giques et la justification du nouveau plan de transformation agricole de l'Afrique dans la r\u00e9gion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Du personnel participant \u00e0 une s\u00e9ance de discussion lors de la retraite SARAH au Malawi.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'atelier a \u00e9galement identifi\u00e9 des sujets de recherche prioritaires pour des zones g\u00e9ographiques et des syst\u00e8mes de production agricole s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9s. Il a cartographi\u00e9 les principaux partenaires de recherche et de diffusion (par exemple, les instituts nationaux de recherche agronomique, le secteur priv\u00e9, les pays, les r\u00e9gions et les institutions de recherche avanc\u00e9e) afin de d\u00e9finir clairement notre cr\u00e9neau et les r\u00f4les des autres acteurs du secteur agricole dans la r\u00e9gion. Les besoins essentiels en personnel, en expertise et en infrastructure scientifique ont \u00e9t\u00e9 identifi\u00e9s. Enfin, l'atelier a d\u00e9battu de la collecte de fonds pour financer notre portefeuille de recherche et de diffusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9taient \u00e9galement pr\u00e9sents \u00e0 la retraite des \u00e9tudiants de diverses universit\u00e9s rattach\u00e9s \u00e0 des projets de l'institution. \u00c0 travers des pr\u00e9sentations et des tables rondes, les \u00e9tudiants ont insuffl\u00e9 de nouvelles perspectives sur de nouveaux domaines scientifiques afin d'am\u00e9liorer la transformation des syst\u00e8mes agroalimentaires en Afrique australe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans sa r\u00e9trospective de la d\u00e9cennie \u00e9coul\u00e9e, Chikoye a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 qu'en 2023, 14 vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de soja ont \u00e9t\u00e9 attribu\u00e9es \u00e0 des entreprises semenci\u00e8res, la vari\u00e9t\u00e9 TGx-2014-16FM ayant \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9e sous le nom de GNA emerald et ayant \u00e9coul\u00e9 60 tonnes de semences d\u00e8s son lancement, avec un effet d'entra\u00eenement \u00e0 Madagascar et en RDC. Cette vari\u00e9t\u00e9 a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9e dans le catalogue de la SADC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'approbation d'un projet consacr\u00e9 au soja, financ\u00e9 par la Fondation Bill & Melinda Gates \u00e0 hauteur de $4,9 millions de dollars am\u00e9ricains, constitue une nouvelle avanc\u00e9e majeure pour l'Afrique australe dans la promotion des technologies li\u00e9es au soja, notamment la s\u00e9lection rapide et la s\u00e9lection g\u00e9nomique. Il a \u00e9galement soulign\u00e9 la mise sur le march\u00e9 de trois nouvelles vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de manioc au Malawi et en Zambie, destin\u00e9es aux march\u00e9s du produit frais et des produits transform\u00e9s : CHINANGWA 3 (MM06\/0045), ainsi que CHILENGWA et KASHIBA, respectivement au Malawi et en Zambie en 2024. La derni\u00e8re mise sur le march\u00e9 de vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de manioc par l\u2019IITA au Malawi remonte \u00e0 2014, tandis qu\u2019en Zambie, elle date de 2001. Au Mozambique, cinq g\u00e9notypes de soja ont \u00e9t\u00e9 soumis en vue de leur enregistrement et de leur mise sur le march\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c Le formidable soutien que nous recevons de la part de nos partenaires nous permet de contribuer aux programmes nationaux \u00e0 travers divers projets. C'est pourquoi nous devons nous doter d'une strat\u00e9gie consolid\u00e9e qui joue un r\u00f4le dans la transformation des syst\u00e8mes alimentaires de l'Afrique gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la recherche de pointe et \u00e0 l'innovation \u201d, a ajout\u00e9 Chikoye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pr\u00e9sentant le cadre d'orientation pour l'Afrique australe, l'\u00e9conomiste de l'IITA Julius Manda a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que l'Afrique a \u00e9labor\u00e9 de nombreuses bonnes politiques qui guident le secteur agricole et a demand\u00e9 aux participants de veiller \u00e0 ce qu'elles soient respect\u00e9es tout en nouant des partenariats avec les programmes nationaux et le secteur priv\u00e9. Il a cit\u00e9 le Vision 2063 du Malawi<\/a>, qui a mis l'accent sur la productivit\u00e9 agricole et la commercialisation avec une tendance ax\u00e9e sur les m\u00e9gafermes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En tant domaines \u00e0 explorer, l'Afrique australe cherchera \u00e0 adopter l'intelligence artificielle en agronomie pour l'identification des caract\u00e8res, la t\u00e9l\u00e9d\u00e9tection et l'utilisation de drones, les biofertilisants, les techniques de conservation du sol et de l'eau, ainsi que les techniques d'\u00e9conomie d'\u00e9nergie et de main-d'\u0153uvre, entre autres domaines. Les participants ont en outre adopt\u00e9 des domaines prioritaires d'innovation g\u00e9n\u00e9tique en mati\u00e8re d'am\u00e9lioration des plantes, de syst\u00e8mes agroalimentaires r\u00e9silients et de transformation des syst\u00e8mes en socio-\u00e9conomie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le dernier jour de la retraite a \u00e9t\u00e9 consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s de consolidation d'\u00e9quipe ax\u00e9es sur l'esprit d'\u00e9quipe, la responsabilit\u00e9 et la collaboration. Les membres ont particip\u00e9 \u00e0 diverses activit\u00e9s simulant des situations professionnelles r\u00e9elles et ont appris comment les \u00e9quipes peuvent travailler ensemble pour atteindre des objectifs communs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
