Abstract

For the past two years, the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation ( TAAT ) program has been an important engine focused on boosting farmer productivity and livelihoods through the deployment of proven agricultural technologies. What makes the program even more unique is the framework by which it operates, bringing together a consortium of Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) and non-CGIAR partners to move proven technologies forward across a wide ecosystem of strategic partners intended to provide sustainable and cost-effective solutions to farmers. As TAAT efforts intensified in 2019, the program’s partners working within compacts, have been contributing more agricultural solutions and best practices across the continent to farmers and other stakeholders, through the delivery and scaling of improved cultivars of crops and breeds of livestock, and increased use of best farm management practices. This report highlights the Program's 2019 achievements and looks forward to moving this effort in 2020.
