***** In Pursuit of an African Green Revolutionの簡単な紹介*****

Foreword by Ichiro TAMBO
The future of Africa’s growth relies greatly on the performance of the agricultural sector, as the African Union declared the year 2014 the African Year of Agriculture and Food Security, marking the 10th Anniversary of the adoption of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). Agricultural development has been essential for poverty reduction and food security in Sub-Saharan Africa, and one of major cereal crops that has great potential for achieving these goals is rice. Based on this understanding, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), together with other donors, research institutions, and relevant organizations, launched the Coalition for African Rice Development (CARD) initiative at the Fourth Tokyo International Conference on African Development in May 2008.
In parallel to CARD, the JICA Research Institute (JICA-RI) has been conducting a research project to empirically analyze how the CARD initiative serves to increase rice productivity per unit of land and reduce poverty. The project has been headed by Professor Keijiro Otsuka, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), since 2009. In collaboration with Dr. Donald Larson of the World Bank, this book project pays due attention to the strategy to boost the production of maize, another most important crop in Africa. Interestingly, we learned that findings from rice and maize studies are highly complementary.
In concluding, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Otsuka, for his strong initiative in leading the research project of JICA-RI, and to Dr. Larson, for making this volume possible as a result of their invaluable collaboration. I hope this book will prove to be useful both for researchers and practitioners who are “In Pursuit of an African Green Revolution”.
