This document provides an overview of CIAT-SABRN (Pan-Africa Bean Research Network) and its goals, partnerships, and activities. The network aims to improve nutrition, health, food security, incomes and natural resources through bean research. It works with national agricultural research systems across Africa and development partners to develop stress-tolerant and nutrient-rich bean varieties, as well as approaches to disseminate seeds and technologies. The network focuses on developing germplasm suited for various markets and resilient to biotic and abiotic stresses like diseases, pests, drought and low soil fertility. It also supports efforts to strengthen African soil information services and regional seed systems.
