The IIH West Africa project enters its operational phase with the organization of three major national forums. True founding milestones, these events aim to federate the driving forces of local ecosystems (governments, researchers, businesses, startups, investors, and farmers) to jointly build the pillars of the future Innovation Challenge for Sustainable Agriculture.

The objective is to transform field needs into opportunities: by collectively identifying priority challenges and emerging innovations, we co-design the strategic focus areas and selection criteria for a challenge that will support 45 African innovations.
