Descripción
The FAO Subregional Office for Eastern Africa (FAOSFE), intends to regularly document regional approaches and best practices regarding crop production and protection aimed at promoting increased crop productivity and production to contribute to increased food security in the subregion. The Workshop was convened in order to consultatively engage stakeholders to review relevant crop production and protection activities which included plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRF A), seed delivery systems, post harvest handling for key commodities, inputs strategies, pesticide risk reduction and pesticide management, and integrated pest management with a view of obtaining input for the subregional reports on crop production and protection strategies and approaches. The Workshop was attended by participants who comprised representatives of governments from the Ministry of Agriculture (two senior officers per country). In addition, some participants and facilitat ors were invited to represent regional organizations for Eastern Africa (ASARECA and the DLCO-EA) as well as FAO Africa and Regional Offices (RAF, EARO and FAOSFS). The countries represented were Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Republic of South Sudan, Rwanda and Uganda.
