Funded by AFD and coordinated by Cirad, the project « Dissemination of innovations in the Sahel region (DISSEM-INN) » concerns a set of eight projects launched under the European initiative DeSIRA and implemented in the Sahel. These projects contribute to the development of sustainable agri-food systems that are resilient to the climate change by focusing on innovation process, each in a specific field. These projects are : ABEE, ACCEPT, APSAN-Mali, BIOSTAR, CASSECS, FAIR, IRRINN et S&T.
To support them in achieving this goal, DISSEM-INN aims to capitalize on their practices and in doing so, proposes to collectively reflect on the scaling up of their innovations.
The DeSIRA initiative
Launched at the One Planet Summit in Paris in 2017, the “Development Smart Innovation through Research in Agriculture (DeSIRA)” initiative is supported by European Commission’s Directorate for International Partnerships (DG INTPA). By funding more than sixty projects worldwide, this program aims to promote innovation in agriculture and transformation of partner countries’ agri-food systems to make them more resilient to the effects of climate change. Through the original concept of “action-research” for a “development smart innovation”, it seeks to promote a science in partnership that meet development challenges.
