Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING): As part of the US government’s Feed the Future initiative to address global hunger and food security issues in Africa south of the Sahara, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is supporting three multi-stakeholder agricultural research projects to sustainably intensify key African farming systems. The overall aim is to transform agricultural systems through sustainable intensification projects in West Africa and East and Southern Africa, led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and in Ethiopian Highlands, led by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The International Food Policy Research Institute leads the program’s monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment.
