Livestock genomics for developing countries - African examples in practice por Marshall, Karen, Gibson, John P., Okeyo Mwai, Ally, Mwacharo, Joram M., Haile, Aynalem, Getachew, Tesfaye, Mrode, Raphael A., Kemp, Stephen J.

“…These comprise case studies on: (a) dairy cattle in Kenya and Senegal, as well as sheep in Ethiopia, where genomic approaches aided the identification of the most appropriate breed-type for the local productions systems; (b) a cross-breeding program for dairy cattle in East Africa incorporating genomic selection as well as other applications of genomics; (c) ongoing work towards creating a new cattle breed for East Africa that is both productive and resistant to trypanosomiasis; and (d) the use of African cattle as resource populations to identify genomic variants of economic or ecological significance, including a specific case where the discovery data was from a community based breeding program for small ruminants in Ethiopia. …”

Bird, weed and interaction effects on yield of irrigated lowland rice por Rodenburg, J., Demont, M., Sow, A., Dieng, I.

“…To quantify the single and combined effect of these biological constraints on rice yields, and to investigate whether weeds attract birds and thereby contribute to increased bird damage, a three-year factorial experiment was set-up in the Senegal River Valley. We tested two management factors (bird and weed management), each with two levels (‘complete’ and ‘absent’), and one crop cycle factor also with two levels (Sahel 202, a medium-cycle and Sahel 108, a short-cycle rice cultivar). …”

Country-Specific Determinants of Agricultural Climate Service Development Pathways in Africa por Hansen, James, Born, Lorna, Solomon, Dawit, Zougmoré, Robert B., Dinku, Tufa, Mwongera, Caroline, Grossi, Amanda

“…We summarize some of the key differences in agricultural climate services landscape among six countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Senegal, Zambia), explore factors that may have contributed to those differences, and how country-specific factors enable or constrain efforts to strengthen the contribution of climate services to smallholder agriculture in the near future. …”

Intégration Sociale et Genre dans le fonctionnement des GTP/ANACIM por Waly, Blaise, Worou, Nadine, Konte, Oumar, Koita, Mamoutou

“…L’intégration du genre au sein des activités productives n’est pas chose évidente et dépendra en partie de la capacité des GTP/ANACIM à induire individuellement ou collectivement un changement de comportement. En effet, le Sénégal est une société dont la division du travail agricole est basée sur le sexe empêchant aux femmes de contribuer efficacement au développement du pays. …”
