Abstract
AARINENA mission is to contribute to the enhancement of agricultural and rural development in the West Asia & North Africa (WANA) region by fostering agricultural research and technology development and by strengthening collaboration within and outside the region, AARINENA aims to achieve greater degree of self-sufficiency while sustaining and further improving the productive capacity of the natural resources base. The WANA region has fragile ecosystems of semi-arid and arid areas facing the challenging issues of absolute water scarcity, drought, land degradation and desertification. In addition to these, the region also has to deal with other issues including a significant increase in population, poverty, a geo-politically fragile environment, gender imbalance, weak investment in agricultural research for development and constraints in human resources and institutional capacities. As a result of all these factors, WANA region is one of the largest food deficit regions in the world.
