PAEPARD DefinitionPlatform forAfricanEuropeanPartnership onAgriculturalResearch forDevelopment

Context of PAEPARD Agriculture is sector with largest potential for enhancing economic growth on African Continent (SSA countries) Support for agriculture – Funds for agriculture research reducing EC funding (EDF,FP7) for agricultural research Challenge : Research be demand led - Quality of partnerships improved

Objectives Overall: Build joint African-European Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships in ARD contributing to achieve the MDGs Specific: Enhanced, more equitable, more demand- driven and mutually beneficial collaboration of Africa and Europe on ARD with the aim of attaining the MDGs

PAEPARD Expected Results Increased awareness of partnership opportunities in Europe and Africa for agricultural development in Africa; Improved mobilization and coordination of European ARD stakeholders and African non– research stakeholders; Increased knowledge on European funding opportunities among African ARD stakeholders and support for partnership development will lead to increased number of high quality ARD proposals.

Major Activities Mobilization of European stakeholders and African non-research stakeholders; Information and knowledge management of opportunities for partnership between African and Europe; Capacity building on partnership building within a multi-stakeholder innovation partnerships; Partnership brokerage between African and European stakeholders; Advocacy for agricultural research for development

The Mauritius Consortium Presented by:Mrs. Indira Boodhram

Title of Proposed Partnership Micro-propagation and Cultivation of in- vitro breadfruit plants and development of novel products from breadfruit as an alternative source of carbohydrates in Mauritius

Opportunities In context of food security and sustainable livelihood  Identified as a potential source of carbohydrate  Potential for processing as well as export  Local research stations has experience in in- vitro propagation  Income-generating opportunity for households/small-scale orchard  Breadfruit offers potential for production of gluten-free flour

Expected outcome of partnership Establishment of production techniques and guidelines for local production of breadfruit Development of commercially feasible in-vitro mass propagation techniques Promotion and establishment of backyard production in Mauritius Establishment of commercial orchards Development of community-based processing techniques Development of marketing channels for input into large-scale processing of breadfruit Development of healthy and nutritious value added breadfruit products
