About the project
About RESADE
The RESADE project is implemented by the International Center for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) in partnership with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA). The project will provide the aforementioned solutions in seven SSA countries in which salinization of agricultural land is a growing problem – namely The Gambia, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Togo in Western Africa, and Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia in Southern Africa. The project will support national agricultural development policies and strategies of the target countries by rehabilitating and increasing the productivity of salinity-affected lands, and will provide technical assistance in salinity management to other IFAD- and BADEA-funded projects being implemented in these countries. It will draw from ICBA’s past and ongoing projects as sources of relevant and valuable experience in the introduction of salinity management approaches to smallholder farmers in marginal environments.
