Shared experiences of an ASARECA Programme: key challenges for institutions to operationalise INRM from ecoregional and NARS perspectives

Export citation

This paper highlights practical challenges and lessons arising from our attempts to operationalise the INRM [integrated natural resources management] approach over the last 6 years in East and Central Africa (ECA). The examples and lessons are drawn from experiences of implementers of the African Highlands Initiative (AHI), an ASARECA ecoregional programme operating in ECA, from other CGIAR ecoregional programmes1, and from two national agricultural research institutes – the Ethiopian Agricultural Research Organization (EARO) and the Department of Research and Development (DRD) in Tanzania who help to implement the AHI programme. We feel that these experiences will provide “food for thought” on technical and institutional aspects relative to the formulation and implementation of the Sub-Saharan Africa Challenge Programme.
