The project for Organic Agriculture Knowledge Centres in Africa is now fully developed. The West African hub was launched on January 28, 2020 in Thiès, a city located 70 kilometres from Dakar, the Senegalese capital. Their mission will be to capitalise on local knowledge in ecological and organic agriculture collected from producers and then disseminate it throughout the West African sub-region. The West African pole of the Knowledge Centre for Organic Agriculture in Africa is a German initiative, supported by the GIZ. Ultimately, the project plans to launch a digital knowledge platform on organic agriculture in Africa.
