In a time when global agri-food systems are under mounting pressure—contributing up to 37% of greenhouse gas emissions, driving 80% of deforestation, threatening biodiversity, and wasting one-third of all food produced—the urgency to act has never been greater.
The 6th African Union–European Union (AU–EU) Agriculture Ministerial Conference, held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, brought together AU and EU Ministers of Agriculture, global experts, and international partners to strengthen collaboration and address the pressing challenges facing agri-food systems across both continents.
Representing CGIAR Executive Managing Director Dr. Ismahane Elouafi, Dr. Baboucarr Manneh, Director General of the Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice), delivered a powerful keynote during the session on research, innovation, and technology. He underscored the critical role of international research collaboration in driving sustainable agricultural transformation and enhancing the resilience of food systems in Africa.
“With the right partnerships and engagements, challenges such as unequal collaboration, policy misalignment, and resource gaps can be overcome to ensure the efficient delivery of research and innovations in Africa,” said Dr. Manneh.
During his address, Dr. Manneh emphasized CGIAR’s pivotal role in advancing agricultural research and innovation through global partnerships. Backed by a network of 15 world-class Research Centers—including Africa-based leaders such as AfricaRice, IITA, ILRI, and CIFOR-ICRAF—CGIAR brings more than 50 years of experience in developing cutting-edge technologies and policy solutions that support inclusive, climate-smart agricultural growth.
CGIAR’s contributions align directly with AU and EU priorities, particularly through its new 2025–2030 Research and Innovation Strategy, which is designed to be more inclusive, regionally aligned, and responsive to Africa’s needs—especially through frameworks like the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP).
By fostering trust, co-creation, and inclusive partnerships, CGIAR helps bridge the gap between science and policy, unlock private-sector engagement, and deliver impactful solutions that boost productivity, improve nutrition, and strengthen rural livelihoods.
