Aligning the project with CORAF's vision

At the regional level, RMRN RADiUS is fully in line with the vision of CORAF (Conseil Ouest et Centre Africain pour la Recherche et le Développement Agricoles) as defined in its 2018-2027 strategic plan, to which a link will be established. CORAF has the advantage of operating in 23 Central and West African countries and in three agro-ecological zones. Thanks to the collaboration with CORAF, RMRN's activities will be able to extend to all these countries and agro-ecological zones.
