Synopsis (short abstract) Farmers in Eswatini who cultivate Swazi National Land (SNL) do not have access to financing instruments, technology, or irrigation systems. These are contributing factors to the country’s low levels of agricultural productivity. This South South Cooperation project between Eswatini and Morocco was formulated so that Moroccan experts could share their experiences with representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) of Eswatini in the areas of agricultural development and irrigation. The project had three main goals: i ) to transfer Moroccan experiences to Eswatini; (ii) to improve water resources and irrigation in Eswatini based on this knowledge transfer; and (iii) to strengthen bilateral relations between the countries.

Project
Creating Partnerships for Sustainable Rice Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa through South-South Cooperation - GCP/RAF/489/VEN 2021

Rice consumption in Africa has grown exponentially in recent decades; however, most African countries are not self-sufficient in rice production. In sub-Saharan Africa, it is strongly believed that rice yields could be increased through a holistic strengthening of rice value chains. By increasing and improving production, countries would therefore be empowered to meet consumer demand for rice. This project was formulated in the context of South-South Cooperation (SSC) to contribute to the development of sustainable rice systems in sub-Saharan Africa by creating and leveraging partnerships between international, national and local actors from both the public and private sectors. Elements of its design included the promotion and production of the seeds of improved rice varieties, the improvement of post-harvest techniques among local farmers, and the identification, dissemination and adoption of good agricultural practices (GAPs) and effective rice production technologies.

South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) Capacity Development and Experience sharing fro Rice Value Chain through SSTC 2024

Africa’s population is set to grow to 1.5 billion by 2025, boosting rice demand but facing a shortfall in production and high import costs. Urbanization in Asia is also causing rice consumption to outstrip population growth. The South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) Capacity Development and Experience sharing for Rice Value Chain targets rice value-related national training, research, and extension institutions, as well as smallholder farmers, millers, traders, and national rice experts in Tanzania, Côte d’Ivoire and The Philippines.
