Building on the successful two-month pop-up office in October 2018 in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, AgShare.Today has now delivered two more pop-up offices in Côte d’Ivoire and Uganda. These temporary offices allow the AgShare team to work directly with researchers in their home setting.

Over two weeks in Cote d’Ivoire in February 2019, our team delivered more than 80 sessions to support researchers from the West African Virus Epidemiology (WAVE) programme with data analysis, statistics, research proposal and manuscripts. We also gave bilingual training to researchers from all seven country teams on scientific writing, programme management, and communications and advocacy.

During last month’s Ugandan pop-up office, our team spent one week giving project researchers focused, project-specific support. Together, the groups made significant progress on several research projects, from getting datasets cleaned and analysed to preparing manuscripts for publication. Thanks to all those who joined, from the African Cassava Whitefly Project, Common Bean Root Rot Resistance, Sweet Potato Virus Reversion Project, mCROPS, and WAVE.
