Background Information
Experimental Centre of Rice and Irrigated Crops (CERCI): BKF/81/001.
CERCI was created in 1978 with the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Its objective was to establish a programme of applied agronomic research on rice culture and other irrigated crops to reinforce the government's efforts in researching food sufficiency.
The project's first phase, from 1978 to 1976, concerned building infrastructures. The second phase (1977-1981) mainly focused on the development of package technologies for rice culture, rice-based cropping systems, and fodder crops and on training national personnel.
The third phase (1981-1986) improved all the rice technologies adapted to Burkina Faso's three main ecologies (irrigated, lowland, and upland rice) by transferring these technologies to various national development schemes. It also promoted appropriate rice-based cropping systems for small-scale farmers.
