Support to the Integrated Pest Management program for the Cactus Cochineal 'Dactylopius opuntiae' via the identification of biological characteristics of the pest and its predators, Bio-insecticides and cactus resistant germplasm

Start date
11 Oct 2017
End date
30 Nov 2018
The project will carry out various actions for strengthening stakeholders capacities in detecting, monitoring, controlling and eradicating the Cactus Cochineal 'Dactylopius opuntiae' in Morocco. A short and a medium term action plan will be proposed based on an improved Integrated Pest Management program to stop the spreading and preventing its expansion to other Mediterranean regions

Conservation of pollinator diversity for enhanced climate change resilience

Start date
01 Jun 2017
End date
30 Nov 2023

The aim of this project is to conserve pollinator diversity to enhance climate change resilience in an economically self-sustaining way (without rewards for farmers and sponsored events). For this purpose, it introduces the Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) approach in seven countries with Morocco as the benchmark country. FAP includes a cross-sector policy mix and the project contributes to six Sustainable Development Goals (1, 2, 3, 12, 13 and 15).

Third Agreement for Africa - RISING (Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation)

Start date
01 Apr 2017
End date
30 Nov 2022
In Africa, cereals and food legumes are produced during the rainy seasons. Smallholder farmers need to bridge the 3-4 months food and feed gaps until the main season harvest is available. Wheat and barley are important crops for food and income generation for poor farmers, especially in women-headed households. The legume component improves system productivity through nitrogen fixation, serving as a break for insect pests, weed and disease cycles affecting wheat and barley.

Partnerships for Improving Pastoral Policies (PIPP)

Start date
01 Jan 2017
End date
31 Dec 2018
Rangelands in Tunisia cover 4.5 million ha, about 25% of the country's total landmass. The traditional system has now been replaced by an uncontrolled one. Current legislation has contributed to the disappearance of the traditional common rangelands governance system. For this reason, the project aims to develop a new pastoral code specific to rangelands and maximize society's ability to manage and protect natural resources.
