ANAFE Charter refreshed
At its 20th meeting, the Board of ANAFE reviewed the charter to incorporate articles that
would ensure effectiveness, efficiency, transparency and sustainability of the network.
The refreshed Charter will also enable ANAFE to be registered in African countries as
an international NGO; as ANAFE acquires a legal personality. In the picture, Oraro and
Company Lawyers, Mr. Chacha Odera and Ms. Joyce Oduor, and University of Nairobi
Professor of Law Francis Situna advise the board of ANAFE.
ANAFE is evaluated
During the months of June, July and
August 2006, ANAFE was evaluated by
two consultants, Ms. Melinda Cuéllar of
Orgut Company in Sweden (Team Leader)
and Dr. Zewge Teklehaimanot of the
University of Wales Bangor U.K. The
evaluators visited several institutions in
Mali, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Malawi
and Zambia. They also reviewed a large
volume of reports and teaching manuals.
Their draft final report was presented to the
Board of ANAFE and ICRAF Management
on 18th August 2006. The Board was
satisfied that the report is a good
representation of the status of ANAFE. A
final report was produced and shared
with members of ANAFE. The final report
is posted at ANAFE website: http://www.
anafeafrica.org
Teaching manuals finalised
As part of our efforts to finalise the teaching manuals we have worked on for some time
now, ANAFE has invited some educators to work intensively in editing final submissions
of materials for production and circulation. The following list of teaching manuals is now
available to ANAFE members in soft and hard copies. They are also posted at the ANAFE
website as PDF (Acrobat) files which may be downloaded free of charge. Members are
encouraged to access the teaching resources and to share. For comments please contact
the authors or the ANAFE secretariat.
ANAFE is currently conducting a tracer
study to establish the whereabouts
and current employment of its alumni.
Some data flowing in show interesting
developments! The majority is working
in agricultural and forestry development
activities. However, the job areas
cover a very wide range of disciplines,
including politics.For instance, in Malawi,
honourable Bilton Kutsaira was until
recently a member of parliament. He has
now risen to a ministerial position. In
Senegal, honourable Yaye Kène GASSAMA
DIA who was teaching Agroforestry in
the Département de Biologie Végétale,
Université Cheikh Anta (UCAD) in Dakar, is
now a Minister, responsible for Science and
Technology. We congratulate everyone for
the achievements they are making. Please
send information about any ANAFE alumni
you know. We would like to publish the
full report in a future issue of Agroforestry
Education News.

Chair’s Corner
Member contributions to
sustain ANAFE
Dear Members,
So far it has been quite simple and free
to become a member of ANAFE. Over
the years, we have attracted 127 member
institutions in 34 African Countries. As
ANAFE matures and grows into a world
class network, it is imperative that our
standards are maintained and enhanced.
To run an efficient secretariat, and to
maintain our website and newsletter, we
need core resources. It is therefore time
members increased their stakes by making
financial contributions to the network. This
will deepen our aspiration of making the
network grassroots owned and managed. It
is against this background that the Board
at its 18th Meeting held at the University of
Ghana, Legon discussed the introduction of
an annual fee for members. The fees will be
used for the purposes identified above, and
also to support network databases which
will be shared with all members. Payment
arrangements will be flexible with respect
to currency and processes involved. The
Secretariat will make a formal contact
with your institution and provide further
information in a letter, but for the time
being, we invite all members to comment
on this approach.
We look forward to your acceptance.

A worthy visitor
Mrs Ufoo Lema is a senior lecturer
at Olmotonyi Forestry Institute in
Arusha, Tanzania. She is also the chair
of Tz-NAFT, the Tanzania chapter of
ANAFE. She visited ANAFE at ICRAF
headquarters in Nairobi to exchange
ideas and also to benefit from the ICRAF
library. In this picture, she (on the left)
poses with the evaluator of ANAFE, Ms
Melinda Cuéllar just after sharing her
perspectives with her. On the right is Ms
Rita Mulinge who backstops the ANAFE
Secretariat. Olmotonyi forestry Institute
is well known for its superb integration
of farming systems and especially
agroforestry and fisheries into the forestry
curriculum. Their practical training
facilities include a prolific fishpond
under the management of Mrs Lema.
The nexus between agroforestry
and hiv/aids
It is of special interest to understand
the reasoning behind ANAFE’s interest
in HIV/AIDS curriculum. It is already
well established that food and nutrition
can reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS. For
communities that depend on agriculture
for their livelihood, an increase in the
incidence of HIV/AIDS has immediate
impact on, among others, the availability
of labour for agricultural activities. This
leads to a cyclic effect where food
production is diminished, causing hunger
and malnutrition due to less calorie intake
and weak vitamin and mineral content
in the food (due to reduced diversity
of food available). On the other hand,
reduced vitamin and mineral intake tends
to increase the severity of the condition,
and vulnerability of infected persons to
opportunistic diseases causing HIV infection
to quickly progress to AIDS, any succumb.
This sets off another series of problems,
as families and communities incur costs
of treating the sick, eventual burials and
subsequent care of orphans. All these
draw further on their meagre resources
agriculture, in both financial and labour
aspects. Thus, HIV/AIDS infected and
affected families tend to grow poorer and
poorer.
To date, there is no known cure for
HIV/AIDS. Efforts are thus focused on
prevention of infection and management
of the condition. Through Agroforestry
research, ICRAF and others have shown that
it is possible to slow down the progression
of HIV/AIDS, through reduction of labour
requirements for farming communities,
provision of highly nutritive products for
HIV/AIDS infected and affected people, and
also through other solutions as indicated
below:
These Agroforestry solutions fit quite
well into a broader perspective on how
agriculture could play a role in solving the
HIV/AIDS crisis. ANAFE has developed
a curriculum for students of agriculture
and natural resources in order to enable
universities and colleges to play their role in
combating HIV/AIDS.

BASIC initiative
Marketing of the BASIC initiative continues
with Forum for Agricultural Research in
Africa (FARA) leading the effort. There is a
high probability that the programme will be
formally launched this year. Meanwhile, FARA
has mobilized funds to for a capacity building
project dubbed SCARDA Strengthening
capacity for agricultural research and
development in Africa, with DFID support.
ANAFE is a partnering with FARA in the
implementation of this project. Details will be
worked out in February 2007. Colleges and
universities which registered for BASIC are
encouraged to remain in touch and will soon
be contacted.
ANAFE has locally contextualized
learning resources!
In the course of the year 2006, ANAFE has supported the finalization of learning
manuals and books written by nationals of SSA countries. The biggest challenge was
to secure quality editing and subsequent publishing. Table below shows our list of
books, manuals and curricula which can be downloaded fro the ANAFE website,

SEANAFE support from Sida. In This
phase, emphasis has been put on
policy analysis, landscape aspects
of Agroforestry and marketing of
Agroforestry tree products.
• Collaboration has started between
SEANAFE and Regional Community
Forestry Training Centre (RECOFTC)
and South East Asia Regional Center
for Graduate Study & Research in
Agriculture (SEARCA)
• A new project coordinator, Mr Jesus
Fernandez has been recruited to
replace Per Rudebjer who left ICRAF on
31st October 2006. ANAFE welcomed
Jesus Fernandez.
• Indonesia has elected Dr Suhardi as the
Chair of iNAFE, the Indonesian chapter
of SEANAFE. Board congratulated him.
• International Partnership for Forestry
Education (IPFE): SEANAFE has agreed

ANAFE’s 2nd Symposium: Theme: Building Africa’s Capacity for Tertiary Agricultural Education.
Venue: Chancellor College, University of Malawi in Zomba. Papers will be presented in the
following areas:
1. Contextualizing agricultural and NRM education: appropriate and effective policies
and institutional arrangements that maximise on staff development and retention
and the production of relevant graduates. What can be done to forestall brain drain,
produce relevant graduates and make our institutions real centres for excellence?
3. Effective Agricultural Institutions: As the mainstay of agricultural prosperity, Africa’s
agricultural institutions must be strengthened to cope with local and external needs.
What mechanisms and solutions are needed?
4. Impact of HIV and AIDS on agriculture sector: In many SSA Countries, the HIV and
AIDS scourge has grown beyond the health sector. Its effects must be tackled from all
possible angles including agriculture. Agricultural solutions in terms of labour saving
technologies, nutritious foods and food reserve strategies are issues that require debate
and strategies.
Deadline for submitting abstracts is 31t March 2007.
