CIFOR’s African Adventure
Participants from the workshop meet with local farmers in DebreZeit, Ethiopia, some 50 km from Addis Ababa
April, 2008: A number of staff from CIFOR’s Information Services Group (ISG) gathered at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) campus in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for a unique opportunity to explore and experiment with knowledge sharing (KS) principles and methods. The event was the culmination of a three-phase workshop on Information, Communication and Technology – Knowledge Management (ICT-KM), involving 40 participants from CGIAR Centres, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) and the Forum for Agricultural Research (FARA).
Dina Satrio and Yuan Oktafian, from the Computer Services Unit and Library Unit, attended a series of sessions designed to improve the participants’ understanding and appreciation of the role and value of KS in research and institutional arenas; to increase their capacity to apply KS concepts and approaches; and to foster interaction among CGIAR staff and research partners. more
Improving Livelihoods through Landscape Management in West Africa
The success of the LAMIL project in Guinea has created enormous interest in integrated landscape management in neighbouring Sierra Leone and Liberia.
The implementation of an integrated approach to landscape management, combining agroforestry innovations and a review of participatory natural resource management process, has brought about greater interest and provided incentives for subsequent involvement of rural communities in conservation activities. Dr. Mahmoud Camara, Guinean Minister for Agriculture, Livestock, Environment, Water and Forests
In response to global concerns regarding the social, environmental and economic consequences of poor landscape management, CIFOR and the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) launched the Landscape Management for Improved Livelihoods (LAMIL) project in September 2005. more
