• Three PAEPARD supported consortia submitted their proposal to the Call of CORAF on 13th November 2011: West African Agricultural Productivity Research and Development (WAAPRD).
• One research concept note has been written for a specific funder : Call: Indigenous People’s Fund and Global Poverty Action Fund Impact Round 2.
• Five consortia worked towards the submission of a proposal under FP7 KBBE.2012.2.3-05 Insects as a novel source of proteins. One consortium (Africa driven) asked for active PAEPARD support. A write shop was sponsored by PAEPARD. Gembloux, 15-16/09/2011.

• Most consortia expressed the need for additional financial support to enable face-to-face joint activities to be completed
• They are unlikely to produce something outside organized – and funded – workshops.

PAEPARD will therefore conduct 3 write shops for partnerships from PI workshops (first call) and from Second Call:

• 27 February, 2012 (EDULINK)- Nairobi
• 5 March, 2012 (Référence: [RST/ST/AURG/CALL 2/2012])- Nairobi + RUFORUM and ACP S&T expert
• 19 March, 2012 – (Référence: [RST/ST/AURG/CALL 2/2012])- Cotonou – French + RUFORUM and ACP S&T expert

• The PAEPARD non-research partners questioned in the course of the implementation of the 2011 activities the active role of the non-research partners, despite their role as a leader (applicant) or coordinator of the consortium.
• The MTM of Montpellier (6-7 December 2011) decided to change the PAEPARD strategy in an effort to promote research which is more demand/users-led.

The Regional Farmer Organisations will receive a much bigger role to define the theme of the calls.

In order to make research proposal more users led.
