Foreword

Previous to the 7th

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) – 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.

Aldo Stroebel (University of the Free State, South Africa): – 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

Ralph Von Kaufman (FARA): – 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

Komla Bissi (NEPAD): – 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?

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.

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.

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?

A way in front of us

TEAM AfricaTEAM AfricaTEAM AfricaTEAM 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.


and 27th

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

well as teaching in experimental learning. Afterwards discussions turned around how to establish these new skills1,

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:

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.

1 This specific point was revealed as being the main topic of an ongoing study by YPARD, results are expected by the audience.

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”

Towards one single system, one single continent: one Africa

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

→ Energy (conservation and renewable)

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.

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 Stakeholders to be included

Roles to be defined

Which reforms of the system are now on track?

How can Universities and the other

stakeholders offering capacity strengthening

better contribute to addressing the challenges

raised?

Several examples:

UNIBrain

BECA

PAEPARD

FAR Network

SCALING UP!!

Continue to share successful

experiences

How can the momentum be generalised to

countries and institutions that have little

participated up to now?

Through integration on CAADP

processes

Filling the gap between

francophone and Anglophone

Africa

“The process has begun in earnest and would require full support of international university community”.
