Production of Innovations within FarmerâResearcher Associations Applying Transdisciplinary Research Principles
Small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan West Africa depend heavily on local resources and local knowledge. Science-based knowledge is likely to aid decision-making in complex situations. In this presentation, we highlight a FiBL-coordinated research partnership between three national producer organisations and national agriculture research bodies in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Benin. The partnership seeks to compare conventional, GMObased, and organic cotton systems as regards food security and climate change

Report of the Informal Meeting on Mines Other Than Anti-Personnel (MOTAPM or anti-vehicle mines)
The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) jointly hosted an informal one day meeting to examine the humanitarian and developmental impact of anti-vehicle mines/mines other than antipersonnel mines (MOTAPM), discuss possible solutions and highlight the need for the international community to move forward and take specific action.
The meeting took place on Friday 6 November 2015 in Geneva. Upwards of 80 delegates attended the meeting, which included representatives from over 50 states, the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross, non-governmental organizations and individual experts
Africa 2060: good news from Africa, April 16, 2010
This repository item contains a single issue of the Pardee Conference Series, As the keystone event of a research program called âAfrica 2060,â the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University
convened a conference on April 16, 2010 called Africa 2060: Good News from
Africa. The program featured more than a dozen expert panelists from Boston
University and across the world, and the approximately 100 participants
included many African scholars and citizens from the continent who contributed
to lively and well-informed discussion. The Pardee Center conference was
co-sponsored by Boston Universityâs Africa Studies Center (ASC), the African
Presidential Archives & Research Center (APARC), and the Global Health &
Development Center (GHDC).This report provides commentary reflecting upon and information pertaining to the substance of
the conference. An introductory overview looks at the major issues discussed at the event, which
are placed within the larger literature on Africaâs future. Four short essays prepared by Boston
University graduate students provide readers with more specific reflections and highlights of
each conference session and the main issues discussed by panelists. The final section presents
analyses of key trends and projections related to societal, economic, and governance issues for
Africa and a commentary on what this information tells us about the drivers that will determine
the continentâs future
