In an effort towards advancing agricultural research and innovation in Africa, FAO and the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) solidified their collaborative efforts with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in March 2023. This strategic partnership aims to strengthen agricultural systems and foster innovation across the African continent. The areas of collaboration include capacity development for agricultural research and innovation systems, agriculture policy advocacy, youth empowerment, crisis response, knowledge co-creation, exchange, and data sharing, as well as joint resource mobilization and partnership development.
