THE CONSULTATIVE GROUP ON INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH The International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) is one of the 13 international agricultural research centres funded by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The 13 centres, located mainly within the tropics, have been set up by the CGIAR over the past two decades to provide long-term support for agricultural development in the Third World. Their names, locations and research responsibilities are as follows:
Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) Colombia: cassava, field beans, rice and tropical pastures Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo (CIMMYT), Mexico: maize wheat and triticale Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP), Peru: potato and sweat potato International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) USA: analysis of world food problems International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR), Italy International Service for National Agricultural Research (ISNAR), The Netherlands West Africa Rice Development Association (WARDA) Côte d'Ivoire: rice International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Nigeria: farming systems, maize, rice, roots and tubers (sweet potatoes, cassava, yams), and food legumes (cowpea, lima bean, soybean) International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases (ILRAD), Kenya: trypanosomiasis and theileriosis of cattle International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA), Ethiopia: African livestock production International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Syria: farming systems, cereals, food legumes (faba bean, lentil, chickpea), and forage crops International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), India: chickpea, pigeon pea, pearl millet, sorghum, groundnut, and farming systems International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines: rice |
