RAC also seeks to build the capacity of public sector extension and non-governmental organizational personnel to effectively implement initiatives aimed at promoting the dissemination and appropriate use of vitamin A-rich OFSP. As part of its goal to train senior extension personnel on the latest development in sweetpotato production and utilization in East and Central Africa, Southern Africa and West Africa, RAC announces a gender sensitive training of trainers (ToT) course: “Everything you ever wanted to know about sweetpotato.” This course targets participants from Eastern and Central Africa.

The time is ripe to invest in programs that will make the benefits of OFSP available to millions of Africans at risk of VAD and malnutrition. This file provides basic facts and answers common queries asked about OFSP.

RAC also builds institutional capacity to design and implement gender-sensitive projects to ensure wide access and utilization of OFSP in selected African countries. Its efforts contribute to the broader Sweetpotato for Profit and Health Initiative (SPHI) which aims to improve the lives of 10 million African families by 2020. RAC is a three year project (2011-2014) that operates in Tanzania, Mozambique and Nigeria and in two secondary countries: Ghana and Burkina Faso. The project is implemented by the International Potato Center (CIP), and Helen Keller International (HKI). The RAC Project seeks to generate new investments and policy change through development of strong advocacy efforts at country level, and through the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). RAC further hopes to build institutional capacity for OFSP programming by building the capacity of national implementing agencies to design and implement technically strong, gender-sensitive programs.
