With just two years left to achieve the MDGs, and as work begins to shape a new framework for global development post- 2015, the Government of Ireland, as part of Ireland’s EU Presidency, and the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP) and th...
This study combines climate change (CC), hydrological and water resource evaluation models to assess the impact of one downscaled mid-range CC scenario (A1B) on the performance of existing and planned irrigation and hydropower schemes in the Volta basin. The models were run (1983-2100) to simulat...

Evaluating the implications of future water resources development under current and projected future climate in the Volta Basin
The climate change has been recognized by the world community as a potential threat to environment, ecosystem, and development. The impacts are not spatially similar and Asia s rural poor are more challenged of its consequences. ICRISAT with support of ADB have tracked the climatic trends, identi...

The Multipurpose Tree (MPT) species can fit into the farming systems of the East African region where low agricultural productivity, widespread land degradation and hence a diminishing capacity to support the growing human and livestock population are major problems. GIS has been used to develop ...

Can short-season grain legumes contribute to more resilient and productive farming systems in semi-arid Eastern Kenya?
The genus Stylosanthes contains about 30 species of which most are native to South and Central America, except for S. erecta and S. fruticosa which are native to Africa. The seven major species that have been used as livestock feed have been widely collected and their germplasm stored in genebank...
Growth parameters and dry-matter yield of Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were evaluated for adaptability and response to various nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) combinations. N and P fertilisation significantly increased canopy height, growth rate, number of primary branches per plant,...
