• Strengthen regional agricultural research and extension systems so that they can deliver technological innovations tailored to the region’s food systems (climate-smart, nutrition-smart, gender-smart and youth-smart technologies).
• Strengthening regional food security through integrated landscape management.

– Over 147,000 ha of land under integrated landscape management practices

– More than 2.1 million producers adopting climate-smart agricultural technologies and services

• 128 technologies (30% of which are nutrition-sensitive) made available to farmers by the NCoS consortium, the CGIAR and other international research institutes
• 70% of sub-projects selected as part of integrated landscape management plans and for which climate change resilience measures have been implemented;
• Establishing an operational Spatial Information System to design and plan climate-resilient land management practices

• The regional specialisation centres for tubers and dry cereals in Senegal, rice in Mali and livestock in Niger have maintained their positions;
• Burkina’s national specialisation centre for fruit and vegetables has become a regional centre;
• The National Centre for the Specialisation of Mangrove Rice in Sierra Leone maintains its position
• Togo’s  National Centre for Specialisation in Pests and Diseases is judged capable of adding regional value in the field of plant protection

• As part of the drive to strengthen integrated landscape management (ILM), 124 ILM initiatives have been mapped: 24 in Burkina Faso, 26 in Mali, 23 in Niger, 6 in Togo, 28 in Chad, 16 in Ghana and 1 in Sierra Leone.
