ASARECA is an association of 11 agricultural research institutions in Eastern and Central Africa established in 1994. It aims to enhance regional collective action in agricultural research, extension, and education to promote economic growth and reduce poverty and hunger. Key opportunities for collaboration include identifying cross-border priorities, developing joint strategies, coordinating responses to emergencies, harmonizing policies to facilitate trade, sharing knowledge and innovations, and building capacity through centers of excellence. Examples of successful collaborative projects include the development and distribution of drought-tolerant maize varieties and the increased productivity of onion and potato crops through the sharing of germplasm and best practices.

Capacity Development

CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems

Dr. Iman El-Kaffass, Head - Capacity Development Unit at ICARDA presented on Capacity Strengthening initiatives for Dryland Systems at the Amman Launch in May of 2013. Key areas of focus for capacity development include answering the fundamental question, “Who will raise and secure incomes and reduce degradation for the 87 million people on the 11 billion hectares targeted by the CRP?” The answer is, institutions and individuals in those targeted areas. In order to facilitate that work capacity strengthening of target groups and institutions is essential to ensure the transfer and adoption of knowledge and proven technologies. Thus, drylands systems will fully integrate capacity strengthening into it’s activities. Target groups and institutions for capacity strengthening include NARS centers, extension systems and agencies, policy development systems, university staff and students, civil society organizations, youth/female groups, and multistakeholder initiatives. It was noted that the CG system has already enjoyed significant successes in this area as to date 80,000 professionals have received training. The suggested strategy is to disseminate proven technology to NARS, extension and farmers associations; to diversify training modalities and delivery mechanisms and to develop a quality assurance and enhancement integrated framework; to implement e- and distance learning programs and infrastructure; to develop a knowledge bank and a library of training material for shared use; to strengthen partnerships with ARIs and universities; to increase follow up with alumni; and to develop a shared system to measure realized impact on the ground. Expected outcomes for this work included wide dissemination and adoption of proven technologies, strengthened institutional capacity to manage research, gender and youth integration in R4D, and well equipped farmer associations enabled to manage the adoption of new know-how.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.
