The Project Team

The project was a partnership between the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich in the UK, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, principally at the Cotonou station in the Republic of Benin, and a number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and national agricultural research centres in Benin, Ghana, Nigeria and Burkina Faso.

* Some or all of the work carried by INRAB, SARI and INERA was carried out in association with the Projet de Niébé pour l’Afrique (PRONAF, formerly PEDUNE). PRONAF was established in the late 1990s, by IITA and its partner organisations in several W. African countries, as a result of concern about the negative development impact of cowpea crop losses and indiscriminate pesticide use in cowpea and associated crops. PRONAF aims to enable the transfer and implementation of research on cowpea to subsistence farmers in West Africa.
