La session, mod\u00e9r\u00e9e par IITA<\/a> Directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et directeur r\u00e9gional du CGIAR pour l'Afrique continentale Dr Sim\u00e9on Ehui<\/a>, a mis en lumi\u00e8re les strat\u00e9gies r\u00e9ussies mises en \u0153uvre pendant l'administration du Dr Jonathan pour lutter contre l'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire et renforcer les syst\u00e8mes agroalimentaires au Nig\u00e9ria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organis\u00e9 par le CGIAR en collaboration avec le Organisation de recherche sur l'agriculture et l'\u00e9levage du Kenya<\/a>, la Semaine de la science vise \u00e0 catalyser l'action mondiale en mati\u00e8re de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire et de r\u00e9silience climatique. Elle rassemble des dirigeants, des scientifiques et des partenaires pour stimuler l'innovation agricole qui am\u00e9liore les moyens de subsistance des petits exploitants tout en pr\u00e9servant les ressources naturelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L'un des moments forts de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement a \u00e9t\u00e9 le lancement du portefeuille de recherche 2025-2030 du CGIAR, une initiative ambitieuse s'\u00e9talant sur six ans et qui devrait mobiliser entre $6 et $12 milliards de financement. Cette initiative du CGIAR vise \u00e0 mener des recherches transformatrices dans plus de 100 pays gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une collaboration avec plus de 3 000 partenaires locaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 ce programme renouvel\u00e9, l'IITA renforce son engagement aupr\u00e8s de partenaires strat\u00e9giques \u00e0 travers l'Afrique afin de d\u00e9ployer des innovations agricoles \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle et de relever des d\u00e9fis environnementaux et nutritionnels urgents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S'exprimant lors de l'\u00e9v\u00e9nement, le Dr Ehui a soulign\u00e9 la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'une collaboration plus \u00e9troite : \u201c Pour b\u00e2tir une Afrique assurant sa s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire, nous devons acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer l'int\u00e9gration de la recherche et de l'innovation dans nos syst\u00e8mes alimentaires et nutritionnels. Des partenariats durables entre les parties prenantes sont essentiels pour obtenir un impact \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Semaine de la science du CGIAR marque un moment charni\u00e8re pour la recherche agricole mondiale, annon\u00e7ant une nouvelle \u00e8re d'efforts concert\u00e9s pour garantir un avenir r\u00e9silient et assur\u00e9 sur le plan alimentaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
