Project description

1. Creation of a "cocoyam" website on which all information (publications, research reports, other relevant information) about cocoyam and cocoyam diseases will be gathered. The intention is to create an interactive website with a powerful search function, that can be consulted by cocoyam researchers worldwide.
2. Preparation of a folder with the most important information about the cocoyam root rot disease and guidelines for its control, which will be distributed among extension workers in Cameroon.
3. Organisation of a 3 day cocoyam workshop in Cameroon to share the results of our Own Initiatives Project to cocoyam researchers and extension workers.
