Foreword
th
Previous to the 7 world conference of the Global consortium of higher education and research for agriculture
(GCHERA 2011, Beauvais –France, June 27-29) the CIPCAD2 side event was organized by FARA, EFARD and GFARD
with the collaboration of Agrinatura, RUFORUM and ANAFE, and was attended by 50 participants: 20 from Africa
and 20 from external partners to Tertiary Agricultural Education (TAE) in Africa (Europe, US, India…).
This CIPCAD2 is the continuance of the process initiated in 2010 in Montpellier at the Global Conference on
Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD 2010) to revitalise public attention to higher education in Africa. At
that moment two objectives were to tackle during the workshop: addressing global ARD challenges through capacity
development and training support and identifying mechanisms for international collaborations in training and
education for ARD. This is a never ending process, but there are already milestones by which progress has been
assessed: the Ministerial Conference on Higher Education in Africa, 15-19 November 2010, Kampala, Uganda.
GCHERA 2011 stands as another achieved milestone identified by the Capacities’ Montpellier Action Plan (CAPMAP
2010-2020) and at the same time gives the opportunity to bring on board the wealth of experiences from all
Universities’ international community.
This note gives the results of the review done on the progress to-date and the challenges that are still pending.
Above all, CIPCAD2 has inspired the willingness of Organisations and Institutions towards the achievement of a
sustained development and rebuilding of the capacity pyramid in agriculture, especially in the African context.
Next milestone: GCARD 2 end of 2012 in Montevideo

Introduction and background presentations
This session established the starting point of discussions. Participants enlightened the background of the process
that lead to this side event: the way from CIPCAD1 to CIPCAD2 and the state of the CAADPs processes. Form other
side the capacity deficits that are threatening the achievement of the African Vision for Agriculture were identified,
what the weaknesses, fractures and missing blocks in the capacity building pyramid are. Lastly an ideal example of
what can be done in AET was given.
The bases of the issues that needed to be addressed during the side event were introduced.
Didier Pillot (Agrinatura)
–
–
–
Ralph Von Kaufman (FARA):
Traced the genesis from CIPCAD1 to CIPCAD 2
highlighting the need to address the:
Capacity deficit ‘iceberg’: training needs;
Capacity building deficit: institutional needs.
Pointed to the need for:
‘Action’.
Harness political will for commitment-global
approach;
Universities to reform to be relevant.
Collaboration should encompass Anglophone and
Francophone Universities.
–

–
Komla Bissi (NEPAD):
–

–
Highlighted the potential Africa has to deal with its
problems;
Cautioned of the trap of planning ;development
without considering capacity building
Pointed to the need for a holistic approach in
capacity building: the pyramid;
Raised the issues of
Defining demand
Scaling (out and/or up) considerations
Resource mobilization
–
Aldo Stroebel (University of the Free
State, South Africa):
Gave update on the African initiative to address
challenges in making agriculture relevant in
development via the CAADP;
Pointed too slow but steady progress:
25% of member states signed the Compacts
13 countries at 10% of GDP in agriculture
IPs developed
BUT AET is ‘absent’!
How much do we want?
–

Gave an example of a reform process to address
the concerns highlighted in the previous
presentations:
Need to reform AET systems to be
relevant
Need to reform AET systems to make
impact in AR4D
Beauvais – France. June 26th and 27th, 2011
First day: Setting the scene: the good way is in front of us
Setting the scene
After 2 or 3 decades of structural adjustments and little attention to the importance of higher education in agriculture, the
food crisis of the last 3 years highlighted the importance of agriculture for the countries and people’s welfare. After 2008 we have
seen the evolution of a firm background of the political commitment by African leaders (CAADP) to attain 10% of public
expenditures for the development of agriculture and 6% per annum agricultural growth.
The signal from African leaders made external partners committed to support the actions proposed on this sense. But it
requires that African Universities and their clients organise themselves to move forward in a concerted and coordinated manner to
respond to these challenges. A common action plan is needed to prepare the human resources required by and for such an
effort.
There is momentum: “What is happening now is what we have been expecting for 25 years”
After setting the scene on the first sessions the discussion was oriented towards the identification of the available
building blocks of the pyramid. Participants were invited to share the ongoing experiences for improving the post
secondary agricultural teaching and training. It was possible to analyse projects like: the BECA experience in Kenya,
the FAR Network in francophone Africa, PAEPARD to build multi-stake holder partnerships in research, FAO’s work
on rural learning platforms, or the Barefoot University approach.
The linkage of Universities and Agriculture
Research Institutions to ‘the real world’
(enterprises, development actions, NGOs, farmers’
organisations, informal sector…) was identified as
a key point to improve. Several examples were
discussed that showed the way. The issue now is how
to scale them up, how to mainstream this kind of
experiences to make them profitable to others.
Brokering Universities with other economic
stakeholders revealed the same problem, the
UniBRAIN experience was discussed but the number
of examples remains low regarding the demand. In
both cases constraints were identified at the
organizational and methodological level, and it was
highlighted how much institutional reforms within
the universities are still needed in many cases.
Centres of Excellence
The usefulness of TAE Centres of Excellence was accepted
but important issues were highlighted by the audience. The
excellence that this approach is referring to goes together
with specialisation in various and different topics. But
specialised skills at high levels (Master and PhD) only address
a limited share of the needs for human resources. The major
part of the professional challenges requires holistic skills,
and, basically, a capacity to address communities and
producers needs (“grassroots level experts”): It is necessary to
build the excellence by addressing development at the local
level to be relevant to the society.
“Local initiatives of excellence” need to be recognised. How
can we use them effectively?
The objective of the session was also to forge a common
perception of the role and modus operandi of the emerging
TEAM-Africa mechanism in leading the reorientation and
reinvigorating of tertiary agricultural education in Africa. At the
same time this session was the moment for introducing the
given steps by this new initiative so far.
FARA has been in charge of analysing the IPs in the CAADPs to
see together with TEAM-Africa how to integrate TAE on them.

A way in front of us
TEAM Africa:
Africa:
Out of the 2011 Zurich meeting a
mechanism for coordinating TAE
issues under CAADP pillar 4 was
proposed: the Tertiary Education
for Agriculture Mechanism,
TEAM-Africa.
Beauvais – France. June 26th and 27th, 2011
Findings showed that AET is still not explicit on these IPs nor it is the TAE Institutions’ role. If TEAM-Africa is to
reorient and reinvigorate TAE in Africa there is the need of a shared vision.
The audience raised several questions: is it relevant to build a new super-structure for accomplishing this objective? If
the programme has to be global, it should respect the variety of needs and opportunities which are not the same all
over the continent. How to make sure that the projects considered do address all levels of the skills pyramid, from the
basic technicians to the doctors and that they are governed by the job market needs rather than by pure academic
concerns? And more specifically, what should be the role of TAE Institutions in developing TVET for farmers (need
assessments, planning, implementation…)? Competitive calls can be one way of selecting actions while in the
meantime it is essential that the weakest institutions, which are generally where the needs might be the most
important, but not those that will rank first in the competition, are also supported.
These discussions lead to the preparation of the next session which focussed the priorities to build the capacity
strengthening pyramid to the scale required to achieve the African Vision of 6% per annum growth in agricultural
production.
Second day: Defining actions: the way to a single Africa
Over the last years agribusiness in Africa has increased its importance highly. This new context demands new skills of
graduates coming out from AET Institutions. In this session participants shared experiences of curriculum reforms as
1
well as teaching in experimental learning. Afterwards discussions turned around how to establish these new skills ,
the weaknesses and advantages of the different approaches. Two main controversial models appeared on scene:
holistic approach versus specialised oriented.
Staff’s conditions of service were also debated generally and in particular how to introduce non-academic rewards
and career incentives for inventors and innovators in academia.
After interactions between the panel experts and the audience a shared point of view for defining actions came out:
Defining actions
–
–
–
A positive aspect: the change is on going, new experiences are there
A common view: we need to train flexible graduates to a strongly changeable context and this comes through reforming
Institutions and methods
2 main needs to be addressed for reforming curricula and improving the system:
To bring stakeholders together. To show strong commitment from all of them
To improve communication of Universities and AET Institutions with “the real world”
The next session was devoted to the reforms done in francophone Tertiary Agricultural Education and Training
Institutions. There are already experiences towards the harmonisation of the TAE system in this part of the continent.
A big gap was however identified between Francophone Africa and Anglophone Africa; very few exchanges have
happened within the framework of the CAADP processes.
The way forward comes from strengthening implication on CAADPs processes. Regarding these efforts ANAFE’s
role was recognized as having been of capital importance so far.
Towards one single system, one single continent:
one Africa
1
This specific point was revealed as being the main topic of an ongoing study by YPARD, results are expected by the audience.

Beauvais – France. June 26th and 27th, 2011
Conclusions and way forward
The action has been engaged, TEAM-Africa gives the framework of an evolving context towards the integration of
TAE in the CAADPs processes, towards the integration for one Africa. The work already done is on its early stages:
while the structure of the mechanism has still to be completed, the coordination role by ANAFE and RUFORUM is
now clear, and an operational structure is to be put in place in the coming weeks. New partners and donors will be
encouraged to join to enhance coordination at the global level while they may keep direct privileged relationships in
projects.
There is obviously still lot to do to improve the connexion of Universities to the farming communities and to
private entrepreneurs. As well as TAE Centres of Excellence, it is necessary to improve their relevance for having a
balanced “Capacity Building Pyramid”. Multi-stakeholders platforms should be established for common discussions
and governance.
Strategic reforms are required within AET Institutions. New skills are being demanded from the labour market. In a
strongly changing context (price volatility and particular food, economic and environmental crisis), training very
flexible graduates will be required. A change of paradigm will often be needed for complementing the provision of
technology oriented packages with means to address societal challenges. These new skills involve new curricula, new
teaching methods, and finally they will require s a strong commitment within Institutions for organizational change.
In both cases during the two-days meeting, several examples have been presented to the audience. There are
positive experiences in progress that show that an alternative way is possible. But the actual needs now involve a
change of scale, to mainstream all these experiences in order to make them profitable to the rest of the observers.
For getting a significant impact, efforts need to be done on the same way. There is a need of a shared vision, for a
single continent, for a “Unique Africa”.
Presentation to the GCHERA Assembly
1.
Establish a coordination mechanism at the
continental level for re-engineering and reform in
universities:
→ TEAM-Africa
2. Mainstream TAE into CAADP processes
3. Embark on strategic reforms:
→ Redefinition of the new skill set(s) building on
existing initiatives;
→ Curricula need to be generically reformulated
with robust flexibility;
→ Supply of graduates and trainees must be pulled
(demand driven, not pushed) into the job
market;
→ Governance of universities should include roles
for
external
stakeholders
(business,
development partners and agencies, farmers’
organisations).
4. Focus on societal objectives:
→ Wealth creation, productivity, transformation
and marketing for small scale farmers, engage
and empower women and youths
→ Environmentally and economically sustainable
development
→
5. Address quality versus quantity in TAE institutions:
→ Graduates with systemic and integrated vision
and problem solving skills
6. Embrace both publication and alternative incentives:
→ Patenting, development support, production of
training tools
→ “Patent or Perish” must be equal or exceed the
importance of “Publish or Perish”
7. Harmonise training systems and facilitate mobility
within Africa:
→ Need specialised Centers of Excellence, but we
must also strive for excellence in all universities to
address the entire capacity pyramid (academic as
well as technical and vocational)
→ Align anglophone/arabic/francophone/lusophone
systems (“one unique Africa”) to facilitate
transferability of qualifications and mobility of
faculty.

Beauvais – France. June 26th and 27th, 2011
At the beginning of the workshop several questions were on the table, let’s attempt to answer them:
Questions to answer
Undertaken Actions
Challenges still pending
What has been done since then to transform
such ambitious objectives into concrete
actions?
Coordination of TEAM Africa
Which reforms of the system are now on track?
Several examples:
How can Universities and the other
stakeholders offering capacity strengthening
better contribute to addressing the challenges
raised?
How can the momentum be generalised to
countries and institutions that have little
participated up to now?
UNIBrain
BECA
PAEPARD
FAR Network
Continue to share successful
experiences
Through integration on CAADP
processes
Filling the gap between
francophone and Anglophone
Africa
Stakeholders to be included
Roles to be defined
SCALING UP!!
“The process has begun in earnest and would require full support of
international university community”.
