Outline
• Global development alliances – Seed alliances ‐ West Africa Seed Alliance (WASA)
– WASA Goal • WASA ins0tu0onal framework
• USAID support to WASA • WASA governance
– The Seeds Project – ESASA – Collabora0on with TL II
GDA’s Defined
• Global Development Alliances are a market-based approach to partnerships between the public and private sectors to address jointly defined business and development objectives
• Alliances are co-designed, co-funded, and co-managed by partners so that the risks, responsibilities, and rewards of partnership are equally shared
Seed Alliances
• West Africa Seed Alliance (WASA)
• Eastern and Southern Africa Seed Alliance (ESASA)
WASA Goal
• To establish a sustainable commercial seed industry capable of ensuring that small‐scale farmers have affordable, 0mely and reliable access to adapted gene0cs and traits in high quality seeds and plan0ng materials;
• playing a leading role in the growth and development of viable agricultural inputs systems;
• suppor0ng the overall growth of the West Africa agricultural sector;
• and improving the agricultural enabling environment
Ins0tu0onal framework
• Established through a MoU – Signatories
• USAID West Africa • Alliance for a Green Revolu0on in Africa (AGRA) • African Seed Trade Associa0on (AFSTA)
– Monsanto
– Pioneer Hi‐Bred
• Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
USAID support
• USAID support to WASA through a Coopera0ve Agreement with ICRISAT (The Seeds Project) – USAID West Africa (Regional mission)
• Support to non‐presence countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger and Togo)
• Bilateral missions (Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, and Senegal) – ICRISAT has sub‐contracts
• CNFA Inc • Seed Science Center – Iowa State University (SSC‐ISU) • Central Advisory Service on Intellectual Property (CAS‐IP) • The World Vegetable Center (AVRDC) • Rutgers University

Seed Produc0on Achievements in Mali and Nigeria
S0mula0ng seed demand
• Need for novel products from plant breeding 1. Public sector (NARS, IARC’s, universi0es, etc)
2. Private sector (commercial seed companies with their own breeding programs) • New/introduced materials need to be:
– Evaluated by NARS and private sector simultaneously
– Formally released by Plant Variety Release CommiWee
– Maintained by owner or breeder
• Intellectual property contained in the seed needs to be managed
