ERA-ARD: The Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) dimension of the European Research Area (ERA)
| Copy Link | |
| Coordinating organisation: | CIRAD - French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development |
| Description: | Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) plays a critical role in fighting poverty and hunger and in supporting more rapid and sustainable development in the poorest countries of the world. In European Member States, the responsibility for ARD programme planning and funding is often dispersed and shared between different ministries, public institutions and/or foundations. This means that there are substantial potential efficiency gains from enhanced cooperation and coordination. This project fulfils an urgent need to better understand how ARD programmes are identified, selected, designed, funded and managed at the national level. These mapping exercises will facilitate the construction of a shared vision and a strategic agenda on ARD in Europe. Innovative approaches and institutional arrangements will then be explored and used to implement joint and, during the second half of the project, transnational ARD activities. |
