1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – QUARTER OVERVIEW

This report is a synthesis of the major activities planned and implemented, and the results achieved

during the period from July-September. Below is a list and short summary of key project activities during

the quarter organized by major program component. A more detailed description of these activities is

available in the accomplishments section of this report.

Activity 1 – Curriculum Strengthening

• In September, AEMIP supported monitoring visits by ISAV/F faculty for internships for 3rd year

students established in the previous quarter with potential employers. AEMIP supported senior

ISAV/F faculty and the Deputy Chief of Party to conduct visits with 21 employers that provided

90 internships to ISAV/F students. Two teams of faculty met with all of the employers to

evaluate the students’ internships, facilitate future partnerships and understand employers’

needs for improvement of coursework and curriculum. Drawing on information gathered

during the field visits, ISAV/F and AEMIP are currently developing a job and internship readiness

training module that will be taught to 4th year students and future interns. Once students

return to ISAV/F in the coming quarter, AEMIP will facilitate a day of presentations whereby

interns will share their work experiences with faculty and student peers. This experience will

broaden student and faculty understanding of activities and actors in the Guinea ag-sector while

preparing subsequent classes for the realities of an internship. The knowledge collected from

both hosts and participants will allow ISAV/F faculty to refine and improve the delivery of

career-readiness training content for future internship cohorts.

Activity 2 – Faculty Strengthening

• In July, Dr. Michael Miller provided a ToT to 12 ISAV/F faculty and students on the use of

GPS/GIS technology for soil and land management. Dr. Miller instructed participants on usage of

software called QGIS. The training focused on online data, navigation points and downloading of

data into QGIS system. Additional training topics included use of Google Earth with QGIS and

use of land mapping databases. ISAV/F faculty participants were selected based on ability to

incorporate trainings into coursework on GPS/GIS.

• In September, Dr. Gonzalo Rojos-Cifuentes conducted a ToT on effective strategies for plant

selection and breeding. The training provided ISAV/F faculty and graduate students with

information on plant breeding and selection for yield, disease resistance, flooding and taste. Dr.

Rojos-Cifuentes also provided information on emerging diseases and common pest issues in rice

and tomato production. He thenled site visits to the ISAV experimental station and rice fields to

diagnose issues in local rice and crop production. On the final day of the training, rice varieties

purchased from the local market were used to demonstrate a sensory panel exercise.

Activity 3 – AEMIP Innovation Grants

• Grant activities during the quarter included submission of two innovation grants to USAID for

approval in July 2017; preselection of three JDR grants; and, participation of grant beneficiary,

Mamadou Tanou, at the Conference for the European Association of Potato Producers where he

presented AEMIP funded research on potato production in Guinea and met with contacts

involved in potato production from around the world.



Project Management

AEMIP and SMARTE received visits from home office management staff in June and July to support

operations assessments; develop communications materials; and, inspect the new office in Faranah.

During the quarter numerous staff took 1-2 week vacations in August and September.

Discussion of Planned Activities that are Delayed, Postponed or Cancelled, or Unplanned

Activities that Took Place

Below is a list of delayed or cancelled activities during the quarter as per Work Plan assignments.

Activity 3 – AEMIP Innovation and Challenge Grants

3.2 Award and Implementation of Challenge Grants. AEMIP submitted two grants for USAID

approval in July 2017 and is currently waiting on approval.

3.3 Award and Implementation of JDR the 3rd Grant. Three pre-selected grants teams are

currently working to refine their proposals.

III. ACCOMPLISHMENTS

A. Activities Implemented in Quarter 1

(1) ISAV/F Faculty Conduct Monitoring and Partnership Visits with Interns and Employers

(Activity 2)

To follow up on the partnership meetings

conducted between ISAV/F and private sector

employers in the previous quarter, AEMIP worked

with ISAV/F to select and field 90 interns with 21

public and private sector enterprises. Interns were

placed with host institutions intervening in a

diverse set of commodities across value chains

including: fish farming, aviculture, beekeeping,

veterinary services, fruit production, rice

production, irrigation management, market

gardening, construction transport, transformation

and commercialization. The internships provide

professional opportunities related to both hands-

on experience working with clients and future recruitment and employment with firms and institutions.

Major recommendations from partners included the following:



• Offer more time for practical training for students

especially in the final years of study;

• Strengthen training in rural entrepreneurism,

communication, computer literacy and critical analysis and

creativity.

The majority of hosts reported satisfaction with the internship experience and would host interns again.

(2) ToT on GPS/GIS for Soil and Land Management (Activity 2)

A primary ISAV/F goal is for staff and graduates to lead

development in a modern ag-sector. GIS and GPS, especially

for the purpose of soil mapping, are modern tools that can

allow for more efficient and profitable agricultural management

systems. The assignment conducted by Dr. Mike Miller

supported staff and faculty to improve their ability to use and

train on GIS/GPS to benefit research and better equip students

with skills needed in the job market. Twelve faculty received a

3-week training on QGIS, an open-source software free to

install on any computer. All participants were trained to collect

point and line data, navigate to a point, download the data for

incorporation in QGIS, and use aerial photography in QGIS to

create digital data for relevant land and soil mapping projects.

Several participants displayed advanced ability to operate QGIS

and the trainer noted that they could provide training to others.

Dr. Miller identified the lack of quality aerial photography as an

issue and showed participants how to view Google Earth

imagery in QGIS as a partial solution since google earth data can

then be digitized directly from the image using QGIS’s digitizing

tools.

In order to support ISAV/F faculty and staff to provide client

based services, the trainer provided guidelines for estimating costs of mapping projects, including the

importance of a pilot project to help uncover unanticipated issues and estimate labor costs.

(3) ToT on Plant Selection and Breeding (Activity 2)

While ISAV/F does not currently have the necessary infrastructure for plant breeding, this training provided

10 trainees with resources to support farmers in Faranah to improve local plant varieties by adopting

management practices to select the best-adapted plants from their fields. Under this training, Dr. Rojas-

Cifuentes presented information regarding plant breeding and selection for yield, diseases, flood tolerance,

quality, and taste while providing hands on practical experience on techniques to select the best individuals,

and remove rogue off-type, volunteers, and diseased plants, susceptible to flood and lodging.

Trainees were taught to determine the best area of the field for seed to cover the grower needs perennially

and use of the “seed production field” (SPF). Dr. Rojas-Cifuentes taught maintenance and management

techniques for the SPF, allowing farmers to select plants, harvest seeds and replant superior seed from

selected plants each year. All participants from this training are now capable of training local farmers on

the practice. The trainees also conducted a sensory panel to evaluate 8 different varieties of rice based

upon color, smell and taste. Sensory panels are important for evaluating the end results of a plant selection

or breeding process.

(4) Grants Evaluation and Implementation (Activity 3)

Mr. Mamadou Tanou Diallo traveled to Paris in

July to present his research on the combined

effects of triple 17 fertilizer and compost for

potato production in Pita at the 20th Conference

for the European Association of Potato Research.

Although a significant producer of potato in west

Africa, this was the first time Guinea has sent a

representative to the conference. The research

theme was placed within climate smart

agriculture actions at the conference due to the

combination of organic and mineral fertilization.

The conference provided Mr. Diallo, who is a

dedicated specialist in potato production, with

numerous contacts in the sector from around

the world. The up to date information and

contacts provided Mr. Diallo with potential sources for solutions to problems such as phytophthora that

has menaced the Guinea potato sector over two consecutive years.

A second grantee, Professor Abdoulaye Barry prepared travel for his attendance and presentation grants

on interaction of manure and potash fertilizer on water stress in rice at the International Symposium for the

Water and Climate Society 2017: Antropogenic Impacts of Climate Change on Water Resources. The

symposium takes place in Hammamet, Tunisia in October 2017.

AEMIP also evaluated proposals under two rounds of innovation grants funding. Team proposals were

rigorously reviewed in terms of market demand, impact economic and viability. All teams wishing to

continue the application process were required to provide an impact analysis showing profitability across

various actors within the value chain. AEMIP selected two proposals on market facilitation of datura

senegalensis and production of livestock feed pellets and submitted finalized Fixed Amount Awards and

approval and concurrence memos to USAID in July.

B. Success Story

The 2015 Analysis of the Dynamics of the Formal Sector Employment Market in Guinean Agriculture

provided several recommendations to improve formal sector employment by meeting employer needs. In

terms of training one of the major remarks was the need for students to enhance their understanding

and mastery of the agricultural technical packages. The report stated that in many cases the private

sector was the best place for students to be exposed to modern agricultural technical packages.

Promotion of internships was presented as a solution to improve student’s practical and technical

knowledge, create contact with potential employers, and improve ISAV/F formal relationship with

employers through onsite faculty visits and consultations.

After developing relationships with employers by hosting a

career fair for 4th year students at ISAV/F in June 2016,

starting in February 2017, AEMIP and ISAV/F begin to

contact a list of over 50 employers concerning their

interests in taking on second and third year students as

interns during the break from school. AEMIP proposed

ISAV/F faculty as intern advisors and establishment of

formal partnerships with ISAV/F for interns and

collaboration. A total of 38 structures expressed interest

taking on interns and were invited to ISAV/F on May 19th

and 20th, 2017 to; discuss the opportunities for ISAV /

Faranah student internships; and, provide an opportunity

for the structures present to discuss collaboration and

formal partnership with ISAV/F. By July, 2017 a total of 21

institutions had agreed to provide internships for 90

students moving into their fourth year at ISAV/F. Internship

started directly after the end of the school year in late June.

In September AEMIP supported ISAV/F’s intern advisor’s visits to all 21 host institutions to support the

students intern reports, gain a better understanding of employer needs and realities and modify

curriculum and training based upon work force needs.

ISAV/F students as whole were very pleased with the

opportunity to participate in the internships and build their

professional experience. When called to discuss her initial experience working at AAPR-GF in

Nzerekore, Ivette KANHARA expressed satisfaction that she learned valuable skills including calculation

of feeding and correct fish density based upon pond size as well techniques to share this information with

farmer clients. She felt the experience could allow her to access several career paths including: self-

employed fish farming activities; providing extension and outreach to other interested in starting fish

farming; and, building upon her experience working with livestock within a broad skill set to work as a

quality control specialist of animal products.

The ISAV/G general direction was satisfied with the initiatives role in creating new partnerships,

strengthening their ability to provide advisory and employment services to students, and the possibility of

strengthening market based curriculum by intern advisors. The ISAV/F Director General Professor Sara,

Bailo DIALLO has also stated that given discussion with employers, he believes the internships will lead

to at least 40 new jobs.

Alhassane Diane, President of the Federation of Fruit Planters of Lower Guinea (FEPAF-BG) stated that

the Federation received students that showcased exemplary behavior. FEPAF appreciates the training

they have received from ISAV/F and welcomes students from ISAV/F with open arms for future

internships.

Three interns hosted by FEPAF-BG



AEMIP will work with SMARTE and IASV/F to prepare an open house presentation for students to share

their internship experience with other students and faculty in November while also pursuing possibilities

to introduce high performing interns directly into the SMARTE AVENIR program with corresponding

internship hosts upon graduation.
