The Centre for Coordination for Agricultural Research and Development (CCARDESA) is visiting SADC member states, under a program known as Information, Communication & Knowledge Management (ICKM). The program promotes the website and knowledge hub for agricultural researchers, organizations and institutions.

The program was implemented through workshop, recently in Lolingwe. One of the speakers was David Luka, the Deputy Director of Agricultural Research and Services from the Ministry of Agriculture in Malawi. Luka urged participants to translate the research and package it in user friendly formats so that they are useful to local farmers.

The workshop’s stakeholders participated in the workshop and committed to sharing information about CCARDESA with wider audiences and within their networks.

The ICKM promotion tour has visited 4 countries to promote the website and knowledge hub. At the helm of the promotion is Rudi Hintermeister, a consultant from Hatfield Consultants Africa, who developed the CCARDESA website and Bridget Kakuwa the ICKM Technical Advisor which supports CCARDESA.
