One-stop web page on CGIAR research for the Horn of Africa

by Kate Langford · September 27, 2011

Experts from varying fields of agricultural research came together in Nairobi, Kenya on 1 September 2011 to discuss the underlying causes and potential solutions to the devastating famine in the Horn of Africa.

A useful web page has been created to pull together information on this CGIAR Consortium event Famine in the Horn of Africa: Challenges and Opportunities for Mitigating Drought-Induced Food Crises

The page pulls together:

Audio and video recordings of the event
Twitter stream including questions and answers
Links to articles by CGIAR Centers, including the World Agroforestry Centre, relating to agricultural research in the region
Links to CGIAR research projects in the Horn of Africa.
