Introduction of RUFORUM- Dr. Wellington Ekaya

The Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) is a

consortium of 25 universities in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) established in 2004.

It had previously operated as a program of the Rockefeller Foundation beginning in

1992. RUFORUM is registered in Uganda as an International Non-Governmental

Organization (NGO). It has a mandate to oversee graduate training and networks of


specialization in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)

countries. Specifically, RUFORUM recognizes the important and largely unfulfilled role

that universities play in contributing to the well-being of small-scale farmers and

economic development of countries throughout the sub-Saharan Africa region. This

contribution is made through quality training of graduates entering the rural

development workforce and the production and dissemination of demand-driven,

development-oriented research that is defined and applied through participatory

processes linking researchers, farmers, policy-makers, and business.

The consortium has several unique features for building Africa’s innovation capacity

and for engaging universities in development practice and policy. It is owned and

managed by Africans. It derives its agenda largely from regional policy frameworks,

especially of the African Union-New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD)

Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP), the NEPAD

Science and Technology Framework, the African Union Policy Framework on

Revitalising Higher Education in Africa, the Sub regional Multi–Country Agricultural

Productivity Programmes, and the National Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs)

of the Member States and Governments. It allows for common action by the member

universities. This is enhanced through regional approach to capacity building and a

national mechanism (National Forum) which ensures wide stakeholder participation in

the RUFORUM programmes. RUFORUM has the mandate for advocating advancement of

tertiary education in a broad range of agricultural and related fields in the Eastern

Central and Southern region of Africa.

RUFORUM’s Mission: To strengthen the capacities of universities to foster innovations

responsive to demands of small-holder farmers through the training of high quality

researchers, the output of impact-oriented research, and the maintenance of

collaborative working relations among researchers, farmers, national agricultural

research institutions, and governments.

RUFORUM’s Vision: RUFORUM sees a vibrant agricultural sector linked to African

universities which can produce high-performing graduates and high-quality research

responsive to the demands of Africa’s farmers for innovations and able to generate

sustainable livelihoods and national economic development.

Presentation on UNIVERSITE GASTON BERGER, Saint-Louis, Senegal by Dr.

Mariama Dalanda Diallo

Short Biodata for Dr. Diallo (Ph.D.)

She is an agro-ecologist by profession. She is currently working on the effects of organic

matter (leaf litter, compost, etc.) in the bacterial community (particularly nitrifying

bacteria), plant growth and fertility of soils. Before she joined the University, she

worked in the Ministry of Agriculture for three years. She spent two years in the

National Institute of Pedology in charge of: Department of Soil fertility, Jatropha

program. She was also a member of a committee on control of artificial fertilizers for

soils in Senegal. She was member of quality control of agricultural production in Senegal

for one year.

Feedback of 2010

� CATIE:

• Limitations in promoting the scholarships, currently working on it in the rest of

the year.

• In the announcements – they are specific and are targeted to Africa and that is a

limitation to Latin America

• Need to have a regional redistribution of topics because many are focused on

Africa. The research themes were not clear.

Comments on CATIE’s feedback

Detlef noted that:

• Research themes on the web were just examples but people were free to

create their own themes in the scholarship application round 2010


• This year professors had to suggest research themes because many

applicants from previous year could not get supervisors from UHOH, even

though they had good proposals

• Suggestion: They should indicate where the research is going to be

done

• People in Latin America and Asia should develop interest in doing research

in Africa. People should be able to shift.

• For short term, scholars should go for South to South because there is no

limitation on research subjects.

• The courses will be better timed next time - For students when they are just

starting their course work and for lecturers link it with a call for proposals.

The concept of ALUMNI

• Dr. Heusing talked on the structure of the DAAD student alumni and referred to a

website where FSC can learn more (http://www.daad.de/alumni/en).

• Noted that it is very difficult to keep the alumni together, they always want to

know if there is a benefit, if not it is difficult to get them.

• Advised members to look at APD website (Alumniportal Deutschland:

http://www.alumniportal-deutschland.org/) and learn or two things from it.

• DAAD offers some benefits to alumni (for those who have received support for

more than 24 months).

Course has not yet taken place. RUFORUM identified two resource persons, who later

The course based on the original topic identified has not been delivered. RUFORUM has

suggested that this opportunity be reserved to support the Ph.D. Program in Soil and Water

Management which starts in September / October 2010. The thinking is that UHOH could

identify a resource person in the area of Soil and Water Management to give three days of

BLOCKED lectures to Ph.D. students at SUA. Current position is that RUFORUM, UHOH and

SUA discuss and finalize details so that course is delivered before end of 2010.

Comments from Detlef

• If the short course is good, it could be taken to the Ph.D. programmes and other

places

• We did very well with the last years report, and would like to do the same this year.

• Would want the reports from partners by December 2010.

• 2010 scholars are now in place, since Monday 06/09/10 they are in Germany

classes and will start normal lessons in 3 weeks

• FSC is involved in the preparation for the summer school at UHOH and also for the

EAAE seminar

• Daniela Schwartz will be leaving

• Plans to do an overview of the activities so that all partners know what is happening

with each other.

• Will send the final list of scholars who received the scholarships.

Question from Detlef: Which areas do you see room for improvement?

• Budget time frame is too short sometimes considering that some of the

partners do not have other people to help them prepare the budgets (they do

Planning of 2011

• Scholarships –Refer to the documents on how to download

There are two ways to download the files from server -Directly download(for the

partners who download from Hohenheim campus) and Download with VPN (for the

partners who are outside our campus but are able to download VPN access to our

University’s Server – it is not too complicated, but it is very safe)

- If this 2nd way is too complicated for you from the outside, we are organizing a third

way similar to that we used last time


- Procedure to apply for a Benutzerkonto in University of Hohenheim

(intern.) HEI


• Noted: RUFORUM should involve other countries which are not in the network; it

should involve the whole region.

• Suggested : Have a clear picture of all 2011 activities by the end of the year

• Asia will host summer school in 2012, Africa 2013

• Planning meeting at SEARCA in 2011 and 2012 goes to Costa Rica, 2013 goes to

either KU or at a new partner in Africa

• Conference- 2011 in Thailand, -2012 in RUFORUM, 2013 in LA

- We have to get additional funding. Having an own conference is not so

possible unless if there is a big donor

- Conference should be based on the academic level

- EAAE conference 25 supported people, have support from CTA and other

funding themselves

- FSC only funds the participation of 18 people (in the case of 2010). There is

no funding for organizing the activity

• Budget- For the summer school- 12 (Ph.D. students) international participants

(travel +one month stipend of 1000 Euro) should be equally distributed in all

regions.

• Budget lines for summer school will be sent by Detlef to everyone, check it and give

feedback, and try to check if DAAD will accept it. Three international travels for

lecturers


Organizational issues for 2010 – Refer to word document in the forms folder

Comments

- Please send the confirmations of the activities for 2011 at the earliest - with

timelines with budget requests,

- Give feedback on the forms, like the evaluation sheets, if they need to be improved

let the EM know

- Scholarship selection meeting- needs to be discussed.

- General issues between partners do not need to cc to Detlef unless it is critical

Issues

- Lists of persons who have been admitted in the summer school to be sent to all

partners

- Regional Coordinators are in charge of maintaining all the FSC scholars (short

term, Ph.D., post Docs) of their region and send to others an updated lists

(Name & institute).

- DAAD expects us to inform them how much we need for 2011, requesting all of

you to send what is required for 2010

- The financial report of 2010 - get organized in everything – do not be late and

send ASAP in January 2011

- Do an expenditure report every time you request for funds

- Annual report will be similar to last years’ in format. Partners should strive to

submit their reports early by end of December 2010. Partners should

submit their 2011 activity confirmation and financial plan.

Research Proposals

• Noted that FSC is mainly focusing on academic related research

• Agreed that it is advantageous to have collaborative research which is not only

academic- where each partner will have a component on the research. Can


target to apply to the EU for funding and FSC would be part of it to help as an

umbrella

• Muschler will contribute more on this issue, he has some experience on this

• Suggestion: try for a general research and implementation activity under one

topic and develop up to next year and see if it is possible or we need to do it

otherwise

• Agreed that everybody should develop a concept (make it small) and lets share

them and see-TRUST is very important in this case

• Editha promised to send something soonest to all partners

Latin America:

• FSC expects to have more applications from LA, now that they have access to

Mexican alumni, who are helping to distribute the information and DAAD is

also helping to contact people in different LA Embassies.

• Limitations: Difficult to find people who are doing Ph.D. willing to go abroad. In

addition, there are very few Post Docs.

• The Brazilian representative will help by giving information directly to

students rather than to professors only.

Evaluation of the meeting

- Partners noted that challenges will be solved through collaboration. They

foresaw more activities coming up in the different regions

- FSC concept is fascinating in networking and is allowing opening of new

opportunities amongst partners and new interested participants.

- Things have moved more efficiently in 2010 than last year


- It would have been more beneficial to give additional time for each participant

to present what their institution does in relation to FSC (12-15 minutes) so

that everyone gets familiar with the activities

- There was need to complement the component of the program- allow one day

or half a day to see the surroundings/market, etc

- Need to think about how to distribute the knowledge to the community from

Ph.D. studies done under FSC, and also scaling up the results from the Ph.D.

research

- Need to link FSC with academic research areas in biology, biotechnology and

other topics concerning Food Security

- Participants thanked Dr. Ekaya and RUFORUM for organizing the 2010 Annual

Planning Meeting

- In conclusion, overall, the workshop was good!

Closing remarks from Detlef:

- Thanked the LOC for the hospitality

- Thanked all participants for coming and participating in the planning

meeting

- On behalf of all participants, he wished Dr. Ekaya all the best in his

family issues

Closing remarks from Prof. Adipala:

- FSC is playing an important role towards improving the livelihoods of

the people

- RUFORUM will continue to engage more partners in FSC activities

while at the same time disseminating information about FSC

- RUFORUM will work strongly with West Africa and engage with them

- Thanked all for coming and wished them safe journey back.

Sponsors of the 117th EAAE Seminar

The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) is an ACP‐EU institution

working in the field of information for development. CTA operates under the ACP‐EU

Cotonou Agreement and has its headquarters in The Netherlands. When it was set up in

1984, CTA was given the challenging task of improving the flow of information among

stakeholders in agricultural and rural development in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)

countries.

CTA work focuses on three key areas:

providing information products and services (e.g. publications, question‐and‐answer

services and database services);

promoting the integrated use of communication channels, old and new, to improve

the flow of information (e.g. e‐communities, web portals, seminars, and study visits);

building ACP capacity in information and communication management (ICM), mainly through training and partnerships with ACP bodies.

At the core of all activities are the partnerships with ACP national and regional bodies. CTA

also works with a wide network of ACP‐EU public and private sector bodies, as well as

international organizations around the world.

The overall aim of the center is to better serve the ever‐changing information needs of all

stakeholders in ACP agricultural and rural development. This is ensured through working

with their partners, the stakeholders, to achieve the goal shared by the whole development

community – poverty alleviation and sustainable development.

CTA is proud to support the participation of African, Caribbean and Pacific nationals at the

117th Seminar of the European Association of Agricultural Economists through their Seminar

Support Programme (SSP).

Foundation fiat panis

Based upon a decades old tradition of philanthropic work among members of the Eiselen

family, the Father and Son Eiselen Foundation Ulm was founded in 1978 as a non‐profit

organization. The two main tasks of the foundation were to fund and promote the Museum

of Bread Culture in Ulm, the former German Bread Museum, and to support scientific

research enhancing agriculture and food security throughout the world.

In view of the precarious food supply situation prevailing in many developing countries at

the beginning of the 1960’s, the Eiselen family felt challenged to do something concrete

about global hunger. Dr. h. c. Willy Eiselen (1896 – 1981) and his son, Dr. Hermann Eiselen

(1926 – 2009), believed that this can best be achieved by supporting scientific research. In

this personal engagement in the fight against hunger and poverty, both Eiselens had been

pioneers at least in Germany. For many years they sponsored research activities out of their

own pocket. In 1982, the Eiselen Foundation took over this function and initiated and

supported research projects at universities appropriate to the needs of the people with food

or nutritional deficits and aimed at direct measures against hunger and poverty.

In 2010 the support of scientific research activities are taken over by the Foundation fiat

panis which was also founded by Dr. Hermann Eiselen. Since its coming to being, FSC has

been sponsored in various forms of its activities by the foundation.

In 2009, the Excellence Centers for Exchange and Development (exceed) were brought into

being by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in

conjunction with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The program Higher

Education Excellence in Development Cooperation aims at supporting German Higher

Education Institutions (HEI) together with their partners in developing countries (DCs).

Support is given to those institutions that contribute to the realization of the Millennium

Development Goals (MDGs) and other goals of development cooperation policy in an

innovative manner.

The aim is to strengthen the HEIs in the domains of education, research and consultancy

through support measures which also include the exchange of academics and guest

professorships, study and research stays, as well as joint specialist events. By these activities,

researchers and institutes are encouraged to continue and expand their commitment in

development cooperation.

The newly founded Food Security Center (FSC) at the Universität Hohenheim is one of five

university centres sponsored in the DAAD programme “exceed – Higher Education

Excellence in Development Cooperation”.

FSC – Organizers of the 117th EAAE Seminar

FSC’s mission is to provide inter‐disciplinary, innovative and impact‐oriented scientific

contributions to reduce hunger and achieve food security; establishing an international

“think‐tank” regarding food security issues, and thus, contributing to meet MDG 1.

This is achieved by utilizing a multidisciplinary approach through teaching, conducting

research and providing policy advice in cooperation with national and international

development organizations and partner Higher Education Institutes in the developing world.

The main objectives of FSC are:

To promote interdisciplinary teaching and training of PhDs and PostDocs through the

Young Excellence School in Hohenheim and strengthening MSc and PhD programs at

Partner Higher Education institutes in developing countries.

To facilitate demand‐driven and impact‐oriented research at postgraduate level

through empirical research projects in developing countries and collaboration with

CGIAR centers, development organizations, and local and national stakeholders.

To strengthen capacity building through North‐South, South‐North and South‐South

academic exchange by having visiting professorships and lectureships, as well as PhD

scholarships and sandwich PhD/PostDoc scholarships.

To support capacity strengthening at universities in developing countries through

regional networking, fostering institutional linkages at the global scale, and providing

structural and personal support of selected postgraduate study programs.

To provide knowledge transfer and brokerage by organizing international

conferences annually and support external conferences and expert meetings,

organizing lecture series for the wider public, establishing a web domain and online

discussion paper series, supporting publications and publication platforms, and

offering policy advice and expert contacts.

Goal: Address the issue of organisational learning within universities with the aim ofimproving their societal obligations and service in terms of education and training,research and innovation as well as outreach through partnerships.

Background: “Universities of Agriculture and Life Sciences” (universities) are morechallenged than ever before to adjust and adapt their core mission of teaching andlearning, research and innovation, and community engagement in support of sustainabledevelopment of the rural economy. The human capacity delivered by universities is themain contributor for rural areas world-wide with the “expertise” to address the neweconomic, societal and environmental challenges with regard to sustainable agriculturalproduction and rural development.

The universities’ mission is to educate and train their graduates to have the expertiseand the know-how to become the strategic actors of development in their areas ofinfluence. They are the future entrepreneurs who need to drive innovation in the ruraleconomy and environment.

This side event will address experiences and best practice of innovative developmentstaking place in universities, specifically focusing on:

• The ability of universities to act as learning organisations measured by their abilityto progressively adapt to changing demands within:

- Teaching and learning - Research and innovation - Outreach and external partnerships• The willingness of university leadership to allow for sufficient transparency, flexibility

and decentralisation of authority to facilitate the university to act as a learningorganisation

• The capacity of the university system and its staff to progressively learn and adapt inclose dialogue with the society it serves.


Objectives: This side event will address the issue of organisational learning withinuniversities with the aim of improving their societal obligations and service in termsof education and training, research and innovation as well as outreach throughpartnerships, specifically focusing on:

• To better understand the requirement that enables universities to act as learningorganisations

• To give recommendations to university management about the importance oftransparency, flexibility and decentralisation of authority to facilitate the university toact as a learning organisation

• To give recommendations to policy makers in regard to the need to give universitiesmore autonomy in order to increase their ability to progressively adapt to externaldemands.

Theme 2: Harnessing the Opportunities and Developments in ICT (Ebony Hall)

Goal: Africa is seeing a new era with regard to the potential of information andcommunication technologies (ICTs) to contribute in the fight against poverty. There arenow practical opportunities for communities in rural and remote areas to get accessand be connected via ICTs. Against this background, the Theme 2 Side Event will focuson the nexus of ICTs, education and agricultural development for poverty alleviation.More attention should be given by policymakers and other stakeholders to the new setof opportunities offered by ICTs.

Background: The African Higher Education context is generally characterized bychallenges – limited government funding for higher education, limited access to computersand internet and generally competing priorities (food insecurity, conflicts, a number ofinfrastructure issues). The students are mostly young (below 25 for undergraduate)and older at postgraduate (up to 40 and beyond). The representation of women is stillquite low, more so in agriculture and science related programs that are not popularwith girls.

However, African countries are faced with exciting times – with the launching of anumber of submarine cables with great promises to improve internet connectivity andultimately access to education. Within the last year Eastern and Central Africa has beenlinked to the international internet backbone through three submarine fibre optic cables,SEACOM, TEAMS and EASSY. The reductions of costs of Internet are already beingexperienced, and the increased bandwidth (gigabyte) is in the reach of many academicinstitutions. A number of global trends and opportunities in ICT are also worthy ofnoting as they impact on the learning, teaching, training context and agriculturaldevelopment in Africa.

Purpose and Objectives: To bring practitioners, academicians, researchers andpolicy makers to investigate the scope of future learning environments, facilitate delegatesto share their experiences of implementing technology to transform the design anddelivery of learning and teaching in universities, learn from development partners thathave experience in implementing ICTs for Development in Africa and tease out thepolicy and strategic issues that are necessary for effectively harnessing the opportunitiesin emerging ICTs for true development


Expected Outcomes:

1. Improved understanding of the role of ICT tools and technologies in African HigherEducation & Development.

2. Approaches, tools and methods to implement ICT for effective learning, researchand agricultural development identified and discussed;

3. Recommendations to policy-makers on Harnessing the Opportunities andDevelopments in ICT in higher education and agricultural development.

Theme 4: Promoting Women Education and Leadership in Higher Education inAgriculture (Mahogany Hall)

Goal: To identify strategies for improving gender mainstreaming in higher educationinstitutions in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: In Africa in spite of efforts in mobilization, advocacy and increased genderrepresentation in governance at regional and national levels, the normative gains havenot yet been reflected in substantial changes in the educational sector, particularly atinstitutions of higher learning and consequently their contribution to supporting otherwomen and development. The proportion of women in senior managerial positions,both within and outside the universities is generally low. At the national level, there isalso gross inequality in access to education and consequently access to national resources.There are few, if any, clear strategies being successfully implemented in key publicAfrican institutions. Although little evidence of discrimination of women at the bottom oftheir career ladder is available, when promoted to a senior rank, many find themselvesin their own words, isolated. Encouraging more females to engage in agriculturalsciences, research, agricultural science and technology innovations through increasednumbers in higher education would lead to increased numbers of female extension staffor gender sensitive male agricultural advisory service providers who are better placedto understand the needs of female, male and youth farmers and improve provision andutilization of agricultural related services.

Objectives: The side-event will specifically focus on identifying gender trends withinAfrican agricultural higher education institutions in SSA and explore implications foragricultural research for development. An analysis of current approaches /initiatives,including success stories, to mainstreaming gender in higher education and draw lessonsfor effective institutionalization of gender mainstreaming in higher education will beused as basis to provide recommendations to policy for improving gender mainstreamingwithin agricultural tertiary education institutions in SSA.

The Gender side event will build on previous African meetings1 held to enhance gendermainstreaming in agricultural research for development in the region. Agreements/outcomes from these meetings will provide key inputs into this Side Event. Currentstatus of gender disparity at agricultural research institutions in Africa will be shared inthe form of a presentation to participants to provide broader overview of the need forinterventions in universities. Experiences from universities in the different regions willbe shared.


The key outputs of the sessions shall include:

1. Improved understanding of gender issues impeding women’s participation andadvancement in higher education in the field of agriculture;

2. Strategies and approaches to enhancing gender mainstreaming in African highereducation institutions identified and discussed;

3. List of recommendations for policy-makers on mainstreaming gender in African highereducation institutions identified.

Side Event Theme 7: The Development of an Africa-Wide CapacityStrengthening Action and Investment Plan: Positioning Higher Educationto Support CAADP Implementation (Acacia Hall)1,2

Goal: To set in motion a set of actions to address the need for greater attention tohuman and institutional capacity development within CAADP.

Background: Deficiencies in the human and institutional capacity for agriculturaldevelopment have been identified in many studies but to date there has not been acredible plan of action for effectively addressing them. The stocktaking that is beingconducted in the development of national CAADP Compacts and agricultural and foodsecurity investment plans is a major advance in rational planning and resourcemobilization. However, attention to the human capacity needs for implementing, sustainingand up-scaling the projects envisaged in the compacts remains insufficient. The continentcannot rely on foreign entrepreneurs to develop its agricultural sector so there is noalternative to Africa building its own capacity.

Objectives: The side-event will specifically focus on identifying and setting in motionsteps that are needed to position tertiary agricultural education to be able to respond toAfrica’s needs. Participants will discuss and make recommendations on how to enableAfrica’s tertiary agricultural teaching and training institutions to produce the humancapacity required for the success of CAADP and achieving the African vision for agriculture.Presentations and discussion will be on:

1. The state of Africa’s capacity to build human and institutional capacity in agricultureand natural resources.

2. The goodness of fit between Africa’s capacity to build capacity and the human andinstitutional capacity requirements for implementing, sustaining and up-scaling CAADPprogrammes and projects.

3. The strengths and weaknesses of Africa’s tertiary agricultural education networksand their potential to support strengthening of Africa’s capacity to build capacity,including their potential for value-adding intra-network collaboration.

4. These discussions will form the basis for determining how higher education andtraining should be integrated most effectively into country CAADP processes andinvestment plans.


The following three terms of reference and a resolution will be presented for considerationand endorsement by participating Ministers with a view to their improvement andendorsement by the participants.

1. The first Terms of Reference will define a process for the development of anAfrica-wide Action and Investment Plan for Agricultural Capacity Strengthening underCAADP.

2. The second Terms of Reference sets out the steps that are needed for identifyingdemand-led investment priorities for strengthening Africa’s capacity to build the humanand institutional capacity required to ensure the success and up-scaling of CAADP, i.e.,to identify the priorities for the Africa-wide Action and Investment Plan for AgriculturalCapacity Strengthening.

3. The third Terms of Reference is for the development of a set of tools and anaction plan designed to put CAADP in a position to effectively advocate for strengtheningAfrica’s approach to higher level agricultural education and training at national, sub-regional, and continental levels

The draft Ministerial Resolution to be presented for consideration and endorsementby participating Ministers will call for urgent action on the above TORs to address thecapacity deficits that are the greatest constraint on African agricultural development.

Theme 3: Co-creating Graduates capable of contributing to the 21st CenturyAfrican Agriculture & Development Landscape (Acacia Hall)

Goal: Africa must create and adopt new ways of teaching and learning in higher education,research and innovation in the agricultural sciences to produce graduates with thenecessary mix of scientific knowledge, managerial skills and societal adaptability tooperate in a changing environment. Such graduates must be able to shape their ownfutures and to generate and circulate new science-based knowledge with greater socio-economic and development relevance and impact.

Background: The target of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture DevelopmentProgramme (CAADP) is to increase production by at least 6% per annum. This is veryambitious but it is the minimum to get food supplies increasing faster than the demandcreated by growing populations. This demands graduates who can effectively engage inaddressing societal issues as well as anticipating and responding to emerging technicaland market opportunities and threats.

As the African agricultural sector changes and adapts to the rapidly increasing demandfor food, the impact of globalisation, climate change and ever present threats frompests and diseases and in particular zoonotic diseases, the performance of African


universities in training professionals for tomorrow must be reoriented to respond tocurrent and future trends. Only through this “foresighting” will African universities andcolleges develop graduates who will be relevant and functional in the immediate decade(s)after they graduate. Universities therefore need better access to the latest foresightmethods, techniques and tools to support such forward thinking

Purpose and Objectives:

The purpose of this side event is to make senior-level decision makers aware of theurgent need to be thinking forward on the role and impact of higher education inagriculture and galvanize their support for higher education institutions in Africa tobetter reposition themselves for the changes required.

Expected Outcomes:• Key messages to Ministers for urgently addressing the priority needs of African

Higher Education institutions for more resources.• Scenarios of African agricultural tertiary education that explore the likely changes

and the pace of change in African and global requirements for food and otheragricultural products as well as policy and university responses

• An analysis of approaches and models to thinking ahead on higher education inagriculture to meet the changing demands for human resources

• An understanding and awareness of scenario building as tools for foresight planningfor the higher education sector in Africa created

• Specific future policy and investment options for African Higher Education outlined• University capacity needs for foresighting for visibility and relevance of training,

research and outreach identified• Strategies for development of African Knowledge Network for Futures Studies

(AKNFS) for higher education systems designed including strategies for establishinguniversity level foresighting think nodes

Theme 5: Placing Agricultural Tertiary Education in the Policy Agenda(Jacaranda Hall)

Goal: To provide exposure to policy makers (Members of Parliament, Ministers, regionalorganisations) on the critical role and benefit of higher education to economicdevelopment in SSA.

Background: Africa’s agricultural sector requires a revamp if the agricultural sector isto play its role in leading national economic development of Sub-Saharan Africancountries. One recognized clear need is that for the human resource capacity for planningand implementation of agricultural development strategies and investments plans,including agricultural managers, practitioners and innovators. After decades of neglectof higher education, African Universities and their networks must now take advantageof the vision of African leaders to re-engineer themselves for development relevanceand, lobby for political commitment through sustained engagement with policy processes,including advocacy. It becomes imperative therefore to review the linkage betweenresearch, policy and practice with a view to identifying strategies for strengthening theuptake of development research into policy and practice in Africa. It requires a properunderstanding of research communication and knowledge translation so as to facilitate


the use of research evidence to influence policies and effect change. This can be achievedthrough systematic interactions and capacity building amongst key stakeholders includingresearchers, policymakers, and the practitioners.

Objectives: The side-event will have three main objectives: (1) To derive lessonslearnt from case examples of successful partnerships between researchers, policymakersand practitioners in Africa and elsewhere; (2) To provide recommendations foruniversities and policy for enhancing the relevance of universities to national developmentstrategies, including Poverty Reduction Support Papers (PRSPs), Development Strategiesand Investment Plans/ CAADP country compacts, and share with policy makers at theMinisterial Conference for Higher Education in Africa; and (3) To create a network ofinstitutions to sustain improved linkages of stakeholders in development research policyand practice for Africa’s development.

The key outputs of the sessions shall include:

1. A documentation of the strategies and approaches for improving the linkages betweenuniversity researchers, policymakers and practitioners in Africa;

2. Documented case examples of successful partnerships between universityresearchers, policymakers and practitioners in Africa and elsewhere;

3. Guidelines on how to get tertiary education role integrated into country developmentstrategies such as the PRSPs, country CAADP compact etc;

4. A collaborative agenda to inform a longer term strategy of improved linkages amongstuniversity researchers, policymakers and practitioners

5. Key recommendations to be adopted at the CHEA conference on the role of universityresearch to development policy and practice

Theme 6: Strengthening Agricultural Tertiary Education Partnerships (EbonyHall)

Goal: To identify strategies and approaches for strengthening tertiary level agriculturaleducation and training in Africa through innovative partnerships.

Background: Higher education partnerships are important enabling mechanisms forAfrican agricultural tertiary education institutions. They can be used to increase humanand institutional capacity, to focus this capacity on the solution of societal issues, and toexpand partners’ global perspectives. In this session participants will review an arrayof existing and proposed partnership types. Together they will be expected developrecommendations to be presented to the Ministers in attendance designed to improvethe design, function and efficacy of partnerships as contributors to agriculturaldevelopment

Types of partnerships to be discussed• Partnerships in which several African institutions contribute personnel and resources

for joint training programs, and/or to complement each other in research, and/or togain visibility and political influence.

• Partnerships in which academic institutions, including universities and/or trainingcenters, conduct joint activities with non academic stakeholders, such asagribusinesses, farmers associations, NGOs, etc. in order to better adapt themselvesto meet the demands of the agricultural sector.


• Partnerships in which African universities join with international partners to developgreater capacity to address development challenges in the agricultural sector, andeconomic and social development generally.

Focus of presentations• Describe and characterize existing partnerships,• Define lessons learned from past partnership experiences,• Discuss how the policy environment has encouraged or limited the ability of

partnerships to achieve their local, national and/or international objectives,• Recommend how to extend and/or scale up partnership models.

Key questions to be addressed• How does a particular partnership improve the capacity of each of the partners to

contribute to its mandate?• Does the partnership address constraints to linking research, education and outreach

activities?• How has the partnership improved institutional governance structures?• How has the partnership built trust while preserving an effective and responsive

management structure?• How has it facilitated meaningful personnel exchanges and mutual commitment

between partners?• Has this partnership helped to make individual partner institutions more effective

“agents of change” and or has it changed the respective policy environment?• What key constraints limit the ability of this type of partnership to achieve its objectives

and how can they be addressed?• How has the partnership been supported (i) by the involved institutions?; (ii) by key

national agencies such as ministries of agriculture?; and (iii) by the internationaldonor community?

Key issues for recommendations Ministers at the conference• How can partnerships increase the relevance of African institutions to meeting national

agriculture and rural development needs?• How can national policy increase the importance of agricultural tertiary education

partnership roles in promoting national agricultural development?• How can higher education partnerships engage in the formulation of CAADP national

compacts in order to contribute more meaningfully to their implementation?• How can existing and new partnerships best support the realization of agriculture

and rural development goals?• What national and international resources are needed for agricultural tertiary

educations partnerships to maximize their contributions to agricultural and ruraldevelopment goals?

Abstract

Agriculture is both an art and science. Africa faces unprecedented challenges.Over 250 million Africans are chronically hungry and the population is growingrapidly. To secure food and nutrition security we have to cope with theincreasing demand for livestock products and biofuels, rising fertiliser prices,declining amounts and quality of land and water, and the deleterious effectsof climate change. African farmers are smart and can respond to thesechallenges, but only up to a point. They need advice and inputs from universitytrained specialists and the results of research by university researchers. Inmany cases it will require significant changes to existing curricular and researchprogrammes. This is possible given that the institutions of Higher Educationin Africa have made great progress in recent years. Several have benefitedfrom the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa. The lessons learned canaid the pathway ahead.

Abstract

Agriculture is the major source of income, employment and thebackbone of the economy in sub –Saharan Africa. However, Africanagriculture has remained small scale, low input, rain-fed, low-techand low output. Africa’s human capital is the most important constraintto transforming its agriculture. For Africa to have its own scientiststo drive and sustain a Green Revolution requires functional, dynamic,relevant and consistent tertiary education institutions. AfricanUniversities have been neglected for decades thus resulting in mostcases in non-functional institutions with dilapidated infrastructure,unmotivated staff and a poor learning environment. The advantagesof training scientists in Africa include lower costs, better retention ofgraduates in the region, relevant instructional focus and context,research projects that provide benefit to the region, and maintenance


of the students’ institutional and family ties. It is critical that Africangovernments invest in capacity building at all levels including tertiaryeducation to generate the scientists and innovators who will bothdevelop the technologies and process the innovations needed forAfrica’s Green Revolution.

08:00 - 09:00 Lead Paper Presentation: Prof. Dr. M.J. Kropff,Wageningen University: Connecting knowledge and society

Abstract

Wageningen University and Research Centre is a ‘third generation’ knowledge institutein which we link fundamental research and higher education (Wageningen University),applied research and applied education (nine specialized research institutions andthe Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences) and life-long learning (Centrefor Development Innovation and Wageningen Business School) in order to target ourresearch and education at national and global trends related to healthy food and theliving environment. We do this in close interaction with societal partners, includingpolicy makers, the private sector, farmer organizations and civil society organizations.In doing, so Wageningen UR aims to generate ‘Science for Impact’.

Our strength also lies in the combined efforts of the various fields of natural andsocial sciences at different organizational and spatial scales: the ‘WageningenApproach’. This union of expertise leads to scientific breakthroughs that can quicklybe put into practice and be incorporated into education.

In our orientation on Africa Wageningen UR targets Africa’s own priorities as defined,for example, under NEPAD/CAADP, FARA, the sub-Regional Research Organizations,AGRA and RUFORUM: (i) Institutional capacity development, (ii) Agricultural productionsystems, (iii) Natural resource management and climate change, (iv) Agro-supplychains and food security, (v) Rural entrepreneurship, markets and risk managementand (vi) Food quality, human nutrition and health. In co-designing our education andresearch activities these ‘African priorities’ are being matched with our own keyareas of expertise.

Institutional capacity development projects in which Wageningen UR is partneringwith universities and institutes in Africa aim to increase societal relevance of highereducation through producing graduates fitting the future African agriculture anddevelopment landscape. This is being done by developing sector- and impact-orientedcurricula (e.g. building capacity in co-innovation systems, strengthened research-extension linkages, enhancing entrepreneurial perspectives, etc.) and by developingcollaborative and trans-disciplinary approaches and that build on stronger interactionsbetween agricultural (higher) education and research with the private sector, civilsociety organization and policy makers. Examples of such partnership projects, includingthe Convergence of Sciences approach in West Africa, NUFFIC/NICHE projects inSouth Africa, Rwanda and Benin and projects under our Interdisciplinary Researchand Education Fund -a PhD-based research programme of Wageningen University-will be highlighted. These examples are being presented, nót as blueprints but asgeneral frameworks that may inspire African universities in their reorientation.

Abstract (This is part of Panel Discussion 7)

The Role of Higher Education in African Agricultural Development: Peter McPherson,President of the Assoc. of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU)

Agriculture is a critical component of the lives and the economies of Africa. The heavyreliance on agriculture for livelihoods underscores the necessity for gains in agriculturalimprovements in production and efficiency. Agricultural development is fundamentalto any broad-based economic development on the continent and agriculture has beenshown to produce more equitable growth in personal income than other forms ofdevelopment. Higher education is fundamental to agricultural development that buildshuman capital that is underlies all agricultural development. Building African humancapacity to conduct research and support the capacity of institutions to produce creativeand productive people is essential to the development process. There is nowconsiderable well-documented evidence that human capital is a key determinant ofeconomic growth and additional evidence that indicates that it is also associated witha wide range of non-economic and social benefits such as health and well-being.Higher education creates the knowledge and the technologies that drive increases inagricultural efficiencies and productivity. Higher Education and research institutesgenerate knowledge that has economic impact, particularly in agriculture. In a study1

of more than 1,800 rates of return to research in agriculture the median of the rate ofreturn estimates was 48 percent per year for research, 62.9 percent for extensionstudies, 37 percent for studies that combined research and extension jointly, and44.3 percent for all studies combined; a profitable investment by any standards butparticularly so for a developing country. The USG is now becoming more engaged inthe effort to build human and institutional capacity to address the food securitychallenges in Africa. One of the means is the partnership model developed throughthe U.S. Africa Higher Education Initiative. With the emergence of CAADP processand the new focus on global food security, there is great need for us to ensure thatAfrican capacity to sustain long-term agricultural productivity, economic growth andfood security are built.
