SustainSahel Consortium

SustainSahel has gathered partners who are leaders in their relevant domains and have multidisciplinary interest and expertise. SustainSahel's multi-stakeholder consortium consists of 17 partners including nine national and international research institutes, three universities, three farmer federations, one continental African forum for advisory services, and one communication SME. 

The SustainSahel consortium brings together research and development expertise in agro-economics and rural sociology, extension/advisory and communication, inter-and transdisciplinary research, modelling, the main sustainable production systems, livestock nutrition and health, cropping systems, legumes and diversified plant production, as well as soil health.

The consortium members are all involved in applying this scientific and practical expertise in their respective fields in order to promote sustainable intensification, and have contributed to a number of landmark achievements in these domains. The SustainSahel consortium also brings together vast expertise in state-of-the-art organic/agro-ecological and agroforestry practice throughout Western Africa, from forage production to capacity development, in dialoguing with farmers and government agencies to developing on-farm solutions and technologies. Via these partners SustainSahel has excellent outreach and dissemination capabilities.
