MDTF at glance One of the major challenges in the field of agricultural research in West and Central Africa remains the mobilization of resources, and coordination of agricultural research and development. One of the proposed mechanisms for addressing these challenges and hence, achieving practical impacts on agricultural development was the Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF). The CORAF/WECARD’s MDTF is supported by two donors; the DFATD which contributes 10,000,000 Canadian Dollars, and the European Commission (EC), which contributes 11,475,000 EURO. These two development partners have been supporting CORAF/WECARD through the facilitation of the World Bank for a period of five years. CORAF/WECARD’s MDTF was established in March 2011 to support the integrated agricultural research for development through the CORAF/WECARD Strategic Plan (2007-2016). The Plan which is aligned to the continental framework of CAADP, and the regional agricultural policies of West Africa (ECOWAP) and that of Central Africa (CAP-ECCAS), as well as their corresponding regional and national investment plans, therefore, contribute to the generation of technologies and innovations scale-up and out-scale in the sub-region to improve food security, The MDTF supports 17 projects through two windows: competitive (13) and commissioned (4). The research for development projects are implemented in 20 countries of West and Central Africa by major categories of stakeholders (Research, Universities, Private Sector, NGOs, and Famers-Based Organizations). Some of the key achievements of MDTF projects are presented below. Key Results generated from MDTF projects as of April 30th 2015

Senegal 1,5 Mt of breeder seeds of a very short duration variety was produced in Senegal for multiplication and use. This variety help avoid pre-harvest contamination because of its early maturity . 300 stakeholders (189 men and 111 women) were sensitized in the project intervention areas through some talks and sessions of restitution meetings. Ghana : 400 stakeholders were trained in practices to reduce aflatoxin contamination among them 49 extension agents from MOFA Innovation Platforms were set up: 2 in Senegal, 1 in Ghana and 2 in Mali

The tomato variety Mongal is resistant to the disease in all the four countries (Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali and Senegal). Hence this variety could be promoted in the sub-region. Two new potato varieties resistant to Ralstonia were promoted in Guinea they are: Mandola and Spounta. In Senegal one variety Safrane is promoted. In Burkina Faso six (6) out of the 12 varieties received from AVRDC have been evaluated with 19 farmers (two young males and 17 females). Plastic mulch was validated against hay mulch and bare soil with respect to plant growth and development More than 200 women trained in TAVs

Master student (supported by the project completed his thesis on “The effect of planting distances of three different TAVs on pest complex, infestation, damage level, growth and yield” and is waiting for the defense. 6 vegetable farmers (4 men and 2 women) trained in farm business and entrepreneurship skills by the American Peace Corps Volunteers. 174 beneficiaries (164 women,10 men) were trained in production of more than seven TAV varieties. A "Soils and Environment" module for Master in Soil Sciences developed at the University of Ouagadougou. Classical analysis on soils in Burkina show higher contents of C, N and P in soils amended with respect to the control soils. Soil texture is sandy loam to loamy sand surface. A total of 30 women of the green brigade of Ouagadougou were supported to produce compost from urban waste collected in the city of Ouagadougou. Six different types of composts were produced by the research team from three solid waste of the

Differential shading related to agroecologyhas been noted in Cameeroon. In the high rainfall zone (and high relative humidity) the risk of black pod (disease) is high. Incorporating trees will further increase shade and the risk of disease is very high. That is why in the area of the Meme and Fako shade trees are used less. In low, average rainfall, areas average shade increase productivity (due to the low incidence of the disease and lower incidence of mérides).We are in the process of quantifying the production in each situation
