The Africa Dryland Crops Improvement Network (ADCIN) has invested $1 million to boost the capacity of National Agricultural Research and Extension Systems (NARES) in East and Southern Africa and West and Central Africa. This investment aims to enhance agricultural practices, improve food security, and increase livelihoods in dryland regions. In 2024, ADCIN organized several training sessions focusing on seed system development, business sustainability, crop production improvements, and advanced data management techniques. A notable workshop in Nigeria strengthened seed companies and community-based organizations, introducing modern innovations like e-certification and seed tracking technologies. Similarly, a training event in Kenya enhanced breeders' data management skills, with a particular focus on chickpea, finger millet, pearl millet, pigeonpea, and sorghum. These capacity-building initiatives are a key part of ADCIN's strategy to develop resilient agricultural systems in Africa's dryland regions.
