This document discusses the Platform for African – European Partnership in Agricultural Research for Development (PAEPARD). It identifies problems with previous collaborations such as being dominated by European organizations and a lack of involvement from other stakeholders. PAEPARD2 aims to create more inclusive partnerships between Europe and Africa that are driven by end user demands and led by African non-research stakeholders. It provides examples of research priorities and projects related to livestock in Africa. The document also discusses the added value of Africa-Europe cooperation in coordinating agricultural research and development efforts.

- 3. Why PAEPARD? Problems identified under PAEPARD1 Solutions sought by PAEPARD2 Declining European-African ARD collaboration Increased number of European-African ARD partnerships Projects concentrated in a few African countries Projects spread over more African countries Research-research collaboration, no other stakeholders involved Inclusive partnerships with non-research stakeholders (FOs, private sector, NGOs) leading those partnerships Driven by research interest of European partners with African research stakeholders Driven by demands of end users Dominated by European research organisations Balanced partnerships, led by African non-res. stakeholders

PROPAC: Research & Development Questions relating to the vegetable sector in Central Africa ROPPA: Climate change adaptation technologies on rice production FANRPAN/SACAU: Research & Development Questions relating to the groundnut value chain in Zambia and Malawi COLEACP: Research & Development Questions Adding value to Mango non-food uses in West Africa (BurkinaFaso, Ivory-cost, Senegal)
- 5. Research priorities: •feed conservation and feeding packages •increasing fodder and crop residues availability to strengthen the feed resources (up to 23% of cattle feed requirements can be covered by crop residues /industrial byproducts) •Herd management innovations including destocking and herd splitting •Innovations for preservation (increasing shelf life) •linkages with market information providers •policies to promote value addition
- 6. Specific achievements 1. 2. 3. marshaling ideas and people identifying opportunities opportunities that are often driven by the market performing - what is now called - the brokering role: putting ideas, resources and people together: to make that innovation actually happen.
- 7. Added value of Africa-Europe cooperation Looking for synergies in a highly fragmented ARD research setting: events, calls, actors “Greater coordination among interventions catalyses a more coherent, strategic approach to enhanced sustainability and creates synergies”. Relate with other EC-funded research projects (FP7 projects) : Livestock specific, Livestock related, ARD Innovation related Take stock of related events and calls

The overall objective of this study was to contribute towards obtaining an insight into the beef value chain in order to design interventions that lead to commercial sustainable solutions that contribute to better performance through a publicprivate partnership with focus on small and medium enterprises.
- 15. Specific challenges encountered and addressed The absence of well-elaborated national policy, over-compensated by an excess of donor initiatives Too many disorganized, uncoordinated and technically weak actors at all levels, resulting in a multitude of fragmented, competing, contradicting, parallel activities which have often interfered with the development of national institutional capacities by enticing the best people to come and work for them
