Synopsis (short abstract) Through the consolidated South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) mechanism, FAO promotes the exchange of knowledge and good practices based on the concept of solidarity and willingness to share and learn from one another. As countries share and exchange development solutions, they are able to co-learn, co-innovate, co-develop, and mutually improve relevant and sustainable technologies. In 2014 November, FAO has jointly implemented a phase I SSTC project with the Republic of Korea (ROK) focusing on the development of rice value chains to facilitate the use of ROK expertise for knowledge sharing and capacity building. Lessons learnt from phase I showed the need for more efficient stakeholders’ coordination, a stronger involvement of relevant local counterparts, and a more country-needs oriented training programme.

The importance of rice in sub-Saharan Africa has grown in recent years. It isthe third largest source of dietary energy in Africa as a whole, and the numberone source of dietary energy in West Africa. Its consumption is increasingfaster than any other staple. The 2007/2008 global food crisis led to thecreation of the Coalition for African Rice Development (CARD), an initiativeof the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Alliance for a GreenRevolution in Africa (AGRA) and the New Partnership for African Development(NEPAD). Doubling rice production in Africa by 2018 was set as the primarygoal of the CARD. Rice production in sub-Saharan Africa increased by3.2 percent from 2000 to 2007, and by 8.4 percent from 2007 to 2012. Despitethis growth, production is unable to keep up with demand, and imports arerelied upon to bridge this gap. The project sought to identify and addressbottlenecks in the middle segments of the rice value chains, where rice millersadd value, in three selected CARD countries: Kenya, Senegal, and the UnitedRepublic of Tanzania. This was done through a series of food systems analysesof milling operations to identify constraints related to nutrition, employmentgeneration, access to finance, farmer-miller market linkages and food safety.
