ECA Mission and Vision

Vision

Our vision is for the use of trees and tree-based technologies on farms and agricultural landscapes, coupled with improved policies and institutional innovations, to make significant contribution towards alleviating poverty and improving food security and environmental conservation. By 2010, we expect a significant proportion of the agricultural poor in the region to have been reached, and benefiting from the outputs of the programme: strengthened institutions, improved policies, and appropriate technologies.
Mission

Our mission is to:

  • To develop agroforestry interventions with partners and farmers that will intensify smallholder production and produce tree products and services for use and sale.
  • To promote research–development linkages and pathways, facilitate dissemination and extension of agroforestry interventions, and ensure the smooth flow of feedback from farmers and other partners.
  • To support capacity building and institutional development of national programmes in agroforestry and natural resource management principles and practices
  • To collect and synthesize knowledge on agroforestry and other complementary disciplines, and facilitate their production and use by different stakeholders including research and development , private sector and policy makers
