Filippo Bassi. (1/5/2022). ICARDA in Morocco a long history of bettering rural lives together. Beirut, Lebanon: International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).
ICARDA formalized its partnership with Morocco on the 18th of January 1985 signing a formal agreement with the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco. Morocco welcomed ICARDA when it relocated from Syria due to conflict in 2012, and it has since become a major ICARDA research hub. In Morocco we manage %30 of the ICARDA global budget (approx. USD 10 million) distributed across 72 projects led by 21 international scientists and over 60 national staff. Over USD 3 million was invested to establish over 400 m2 of laboratory facilities and 160 hectares of field research in Rabat. Throughout, the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique du Maroc (INRA-Morocco) has been ICARDA’s key partner among other Moroccan governmental institutions and universities.
