Editor’s Note
This issue features two themes that are close to the heart of WARDA–The Africa Rice Center:
(1) the potential of integrated crop management (ICM) approach for irrigated rice farming, shown through the case study of Mauritania; and
(2) effective networking as exemplified by the ROCARIZ Network.
Both activities are living examples of WARDA’s vision and mode of operation, showing the power of partnership in action. Both capture the essence of
WARDA in their own distinct way.
The article Hope for a desert country explains how ICM is transforming rice farming into a highly productive sector in Mauritania.
The story At the center of the rice research and extension web in WCA describes the various ways through which ROCARIZ enhances the capacity of national agricultural research systems (NARS) in the area of rice, and is increasingly being recognized as a regional model for rice research and
extension in West and Central Africa.
In News and Notes you will see glimpses of the milestones in WARDA’s life: awards and achievements that extend the horizon of the rice R&D in Africa.
