It particularly emphasises the Sahel region, the poorest region in the world, where family farming is highly vulnerable to land degradation and climate change. In the framework of the DeSIRA initiative, four projects have been recently (2020 &#8211; 2025) funded on different agriculture-related topics in West-Africa, including sustainable integration of crop and livestock systems (CASSECS), agro-ecological practices (FAIR) and crop improvement (ABEE and APSAN). ABEE and APSAN are two tightly linked projects involving four countries in WA (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Senegal) led by CORAF and ICRISAT respectively. These two projects aim at modernizing breeding by setting breeding priorities on the basis of market and user demand, building human, infrastructure and equipment capacities of NARS, digitizing data and reinforcing the sustainability of the regional crop testing network.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t                \t\t<a class=\"read-more-btn\" href=\"http:\/\/91.121.2.216:8085\/ceraas\/index.php\/2021\/03\/26\/desira-development-smart-innovation-through-research-in-agriculture\/\"><\/a>\n\t\t                <\/div>\n\n                \n            <\/div><!-- .blog-inner -->\n           \n        <\/article>\n\n        \n        <article id=\"post-842\" class=\"wpcap-post post-842 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-projets\">\n         \n            <div class=\"post-grid-inner\">\n            \t\n            \t\n                <div class=\"post-grid-text-wrap\">\n               \t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/91.121.2.216:8085\/ceraas\/index.php\/2021\/03\/26\/technologies-for-african-agricultural-transformation-taat\/\">Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT):<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t                \t\t<div class=\"post-grid-excerpt\">\n\t\t\t<p>An important element of \u201cFeed Africa\u201d a strategy of the African Development Bank to transform agriculture and scale up agribusiness opportunities throughout 18 key agricultural commodity value chains targeting the sorghum and pearl millet compact.
