During the Conference on Mechanization in Africa's agriculture held in Dakar on the 16th of April, Professor Noble Bannada explained how being mechanized does not only mean having tractors. He discussed in details the advantages of being mechanized using different equipment depending on the need and this, in every step of the process from the production to the sale of an agricultural product especially as of today, with the impacts of climate change on the working conditions of farmers, the planting till harvesting process and period and its impacts on the global economy as a whole without mechanization. he addressed a key message to the high graduate students about their role and importance in agriculture and the results of their involvement.

Africa has the least mechanized agricultural system in the world today. Yet, there are several examples across the continent where innovative technologies and successful mechanization practices are improving the capacity of smallholders and other operators to grow, store, process, transform and transport their crops and products. During this meeting, Prof. Noble Banadda discussed that Mechanization is not just about tractors. Successful mechanization along the whole value chain will have to be a priority in future development and growth agendas for African smallholder agriculture. Mechanization is also not just about technology either. Rather, its success depends on investment in research and development, technical capacity to build and operate machines, availability and maintenance of spare parts, financing, adaptability to local needs, application to different environmental conditions, and impact on local employment. Increasing the uptake of mechanized technologies along agricultural value chains therefore requires a comprehensive, systemic approach. The discussion draws on the Malabo Montpellier Panel’s second report, Mechanized: Transforming Africa’s agriculture value chains, which systematically analyses the steps taken by seven countries at the forefront of progress in mechanization.

Dr Debisi Araba presented and discussed Africa's surge of interest in irrigation among small-scale farmers as climate change brings more erratic weather. Currently, only 6 percent of arable land in Africa is irrigated, compared to 14 and 37 percent in Latin America and Asia respectively. At the same time, a growing population across the continent demands more, reliable and continuous supply of food. It is estimated that without additional investment in irrigation, the share of people at risk of hunger could increase by 5 percent by 2030 and 12 percent by 2050. Elevating irrigation to a top policy priority and bringing irrigation to scale could help ensure the continent’s food security in the face of more extreme weather conditions and be an engine of agricultural transformation. The Malabo Montpellier Panel’s third report, Water-Wise: Smart Irrigation Strategies for Africa, summarizes the key findings of a systematic analysis of what six African countries at the forefront of progress on irrigation have done right. The report has identified a set of policies and practices which, if brought to scale, could significantly improve the resilience and livelihoods of rural communities and spur overall agricultural growth and transformation in Africa. By adapting these lessons to countries’ specific contexts and scaling them up across the continent, African governments can meet their national and international commitments to agricultural growth and transformation.

Presentation at a one-day workshop on February 23, 2015, convened to take stock of the Conservation Agriculture and Smallholder Farmers in East and Southern Africa (CASFESA) pilot project. CASFESA scientists share experience after three years of implementation in South Achefer and Jebitehnan Districts of Amhara Region, Northern Ethiopia, from June 2012, ending in March 2015. Funded by the European Union through the International Fund for Agricultural Development, CASFESA aimed at increasing food security and incomes of poor smallholder farmers through sustainable intensification of mixed, cereal-based systems.
The project will leave a rich legacy, including:
• adaptation and demonstration of CA-based technologies on selected farmer plots;
• enhancing pro-poor and gender-sensitive targeting of CA-based interventions;
• improving the delivery of information, including on technologies and market opportunities to smallholders, as well as developing policy options and recommendations that favor these technologies; and,
• enhancing the capacity of research, and development interventions, for project stakeholders.

L'ère du numérique en Afrique évolue rapidement, et alors que beaucoup de gouvernements aujourd'hui luttent pour faire reculer la pauvreté, pour permettre la croissance économique et pour promouvoir un environnement durable grâce à l'agriculture notamment qui joue un rôle crucial dans cette lutte, il n'est pas anodin de souligner qu'une partie de la solution pourrait venir des technologies numériques. La question sur comment celles-ci peuvent contribuer à la transformation du système alimentaire africain, notre orateur du jour, M. Seth Sall, Directeur de l'Économie Numérique et des Partenariats au Ministère de l'Économie Numérique et des Télécommunications du Sénégal, et notre modérateur, Dr. Ousmane Badiane, Directeur Afrique de l’Institut International de Recherche sur les Politiques Alimentaires (IFPRI), et coprésident du Malabo Montpellier Panel, nous font l'honneur de nous parler de l'expérience du Sénégal à travers les différents programmes que le gouvernement Sénégalais a mis en place pour répondre à cette question.

Thanks to the progress of the past couple of decades, African countries have started to reverse trends in poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. The ambitions contained in the Malabo Declaration, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, and global development goals are recognition of the size and complexity of the challenge that still lies ahead. In this sense, Prof. Sheryl Hendriks discussed the sustaining progress need to realize the goals of ending extreme poverty and hunger will require continued improvement in the quality of policy and program design and implementa¬tion. The Malabo Montpellier Panel’s first report, Nourished: How Africa Can Build a Future Free from Hunger and Malnutrition, takes a systematic country study approach, analyzing which policy decisions were taken to substantially reduce malnutrition levels and to promote healthier and more diverse diets. It also looks at innovation in nutrition to advance these goals, and make the most vulnerable – smallholders and women - more resilient and prosperous in the face of stresses such as urbanization, demographic changes and climate change. A set of policies and practices are identified that, if scaled up, could have signifi¬cant impact on nutrition, child survival, and development in Africa. The experience of the seven countries covered in the report shows what can and needs to be done to substantially improve a country’s nutritional status.

Ethiopian Experience in Irrigatiion Development by Mr. Zena Habtewold BiruMalabo-Montpellier-Panel
The Ethiopian irrigation success story was the focus of the webinar organised by the Malabo Montpellier Panel on 14th February 2019, based on their second report, Water-Wise: Smart Irrigation Strategies for Africa, which summarizes the key findings of a systematic analysis of what six African countries at the forefront of progress on irrigation have done right: Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, Niger and South Africa.
The guest speaker and author of this presentation, Mr. Zena Habtewold Biru, Director of the Planning Monitoring and Evaluation Directorate at the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and Focal Person for the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Program (CAADP) discussed the case of Ethiopia’s remarkable growth in irrigation expansion over the last years, and the concrete practical steps that the government took to become one of the leading African countries in terms of agricultural irrigation, thereby reducing unemployment, poverty rate and malnutrition.
During the seminar Mr. Zena Habtewold Biru discussed the following questions:
•What did Ethiopia do differently?
•What are the main institutional innovations?
•What are the key policy measures?
•What are the country’s major programs and interventions?
•How and what did it take to mobilize the government to uptake strong regulatory frameworks that govern irrigation and the use of water in agriculture?
•What are the practical lessons for other Africans to learn from and to adapt to the context of their own countries?
