| Call Description : |
Proposals should pool the necessary financial resources from the participating national or international research programmes with a view to implementing a joint call for proposals. The call should result in grants to third parties with EU co-funding. To achieve these objectives, a long-term research and innovation partnership would lead to a joint and coordinated effort of African and European actors in an innovation system along the lines of three broad thematic areas: a. Sustainable intensification: Providing food in a sustainable manner is a challenge in both Europe and Africa; b. Agriculture and food systems for nutrition: Agricultural and food systems need to be changed to reduce waste and improve diets; c. Improvement of agricultural markets and trade: Agriculture remains a primary means of economic growth for many African countries. |
