The African Union Commission is seeking proposals for research focusing on the thematic priorities articulated in Africa’s Science and Technology Consolidated Plan of Action (CPA) and its Lighthouse Projects.
Countries presently suffering from food shortages – especially those in Africa – need to start producing more food themselves.
And they have the capability to do so.
Modern agricultural techniques can increase production, but only if the governments of the affected countries are prepared to lend their full support.
This is the opinion of Dr Dirk Bezemer, Associate Professor of Development Economics at the University of Groningen.
‘The role of the West will diminish in the long term,
but in the meantime Western countries can help by curbing food speculation.
This could make a huge difference as the current high food prices are partly to blame for the growing number of starving people in the world.’

Cutbacks in spending on disaster relief and development aid will cost the Netherlands a lot of money in the long run, thinks Joost Herman, University Reader in International Relations and International Organization at the University of Groningen.
Not only does Herman want to keep the current budget for development aid, he also wants to see a larger portion of the resources for disaster relief spent on programmes aimed at preventing natural disasters and armed conflicts.
Who is responsible for providing emergency aid? When is aid called emergency aid and when does one speak of development aid? Who is responsible for the preparation of countries for natural disasters? These are some of the questions that will be adressed during the conference.

The effectiveness of development aid benefits from field experiments.
Before a development programme is implemented on a large scale, whether or not it will work should be tested on a small scale using what is known as a randomized intervention.
Such interventions, where there is often close collaboration between academics and NGOs (non-governmental organizations), provide a much clearer picture of what works and what does not,
according to economist Prof. Robert Lensink of the University of Groningen.
