The annual workshop
of the AFROweeds project was held, 27–30 June in Cotonou to discuss with
project partners the progress made and future activities. It was attended by 23
participants. The AFROweeds project aims at establishing a viable
African–European weed science network, consolidating existing knowledge on weed
management by building a user-friendly web-based platform on weeds of West and
East African lowland rice-cropping systems and enhancing the exploitation and
dissemination of good weed management practices in lowland rice-cropping
systems.
It is jointly
carried out by CIRAD, France and Africa- Rice with support from the European
Union (EU) and the countries of the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of
states (ACP) Science and Technology Program.
