about PRAPACE
|
PRAPACE is a French acronym for
Regional Potato and Sweetpotato Improvement Network in Eastern
and Central Africa.
It developed out of PRAPAC, a network established in 1982
by the national research institutions of Burundi, Rwanda
and DR Congo to link their potato programmes.
Currently PRAPACE collaborates
with potato and sweetpotato programs of ten ASARECA (Association
for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central
Africa) member countries in the region.
These countries are: Burundi, DR Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia,
Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
The network is under the auspices of ASARECA
and is affiliated to CIP, which provides backstopping for
the flow of improved germplasm, scientific information,
training, and administrative support.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
funds the network.
