Mis2G project: Second generation of Market Information Systems
08/2010
During the 2000s, along with the new information and communication technologies (in particular Internet and mobile phones), a second generation of MIS emerged. Apart from the ITC aspect, the new MIS are characterized by their decentralized, interactive and sometimes private aspects. Therefore, the first objective of the MIS project is to identify the main innovations among new MIS models and analyse the main challenges they have to face. This project has been implemented by CIRAD and INRA in collaboration with MSU, and funded with support from the AFD and the CTA.

The Makala project: Sustainable management of fuel wood in the Democratic Republic of Congo
04/2010
The Makala Project aims to respond to the increasing domestic energy needs of central Africa and address the risks of non sustainable use of forest resources. It will contribute to the development of future policies and an institutional framework to ensure a sustainable use and management of fuel wood from natural and planted forests. It will further contribute to the improvement of transformation technologies relating to the use of wood and charcoal and seek to involve communities at the local level. (website in french only)
