Bioversity International AICCRA Project Coordinator Jobs in Ethiopia

Background

The Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa project (AICCRA) is administered by the Alliance of Biodiversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) (“Alliance”), the lead center for the CGIAR Program on Climate Change Agriculture, and Food Security (CCAFS).

AICCRA is funded by the International Development Association (IDA).

CCAFS brings together some of the world’s best researchers in agricultural, climate and earth science to deliver innovative research-based solutions that catalyze positive change towards low-carbon and climate resilient food systems.

AICCRA will help make the products of cutting-edge CGIAR-led science available throughout Africa.

AICCRA can play a vital catalytic role in strengthening the agriculture research architecture in Africa.

Activities financed under AICCRA will be implemented by a broad coalition of CCAFS partners working at regional, sub-regional, and national level. AICCRA investments will be concentrated in six anchor countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Senegal, and Zambia, but spill-over benefits are expected in other countries as AICCRA will also work with Africa’s regional economic communities (RECs) and their associated regional agricultural research and climate change networks.

The project runs from 2021 to 2023.
