Abstract

This workshop brought together scientists and development workers, primarily those working in the West Africa region, to: review past and present research findings on Faidherbia alhida; discuss development issues and "lessons learned" from past and present; list research priorities for the future; and promote collaboration between research and development programs. These proceedings summarize the state of knowledge on the species and provide a comprehensive list of ongoing research. Papers are divided into sessions on: botany and distribution; uses; genetics, provenance trials, and vegetative propagation; site effects, silviculture, and rhizosphere; and development issues. Recommendations from Working Groups for future research and multidisciplinary linkages are included
