Looking for information on agriculture research results in Africa? Seeking opportunities for collaboration with other projects? Maps can help also to answer these questions: CGIAR Research map for Africa is the place to go if you want to know what is going on in agricultural research in Africa.
Fruit of a collaboration between Collective Action, the ICT-KM Program, CGIAR centres and over 250 scientists who have contributed their research information, the newly released map provides a geographical overview of where projects are carried out and gives users the unique opportunity to execute a more specific and targeted query based on different key fields, link the data to project outputs and other relevant documents while keeping the ownership over the information in the hands of the project managers themselves.
“A place to compile and disseminate outputs and outcomes of the CGIAR as well as share knowledge and information. The research map provides just a unique tool for this!” – Evelyn Katingi, Collective Action.
