12 students from the ISAV are joining the arboRise/GUIDRE team to carry out their end-of-studies work.
The Institut Supérieur Agronomique et Vétérinaire de Faranah trains several hundred graduates every year and offers seven types of training in the field of agronomy: agriculture, agroforestry, water and forest environment, rural economics, animal husbandry, rural engineering and agricultural extension. ISAV is directed by Prof. Mabetty Touré, whose doctoral thesis, Les rapports de genre et la filière néré en Haute Guinée (Gender relations and the néré sector in Upper Guinea), was a valuable source of information for arboRise.
Our partner GUIDRE has historically maintained close relations with ISAV, since its executive director, Saïdou Marega, is himself a graduate of ISAV and founded GUIDRE when he was still a student. As one of arboRise’s statutory missions is to disseminate its experience, particularly in the academic world (see the course given in Berlin as part of the Joint Master in Global Economic Governance & Public Affairs), we are delighted to welcome 12 ISAV students to the field in Linko. Since ISAV’s mission is to provide initial and continuing training in the agronomic field for senior government officials, our approach will be able to inspire them in their future duties.
The 12 students present their work to the Mayor of the rural commune of Linko.
The 12 students are divided into four groups:
- The Boïdou team (Mr Koïkoï Inapogui, Ms Mawain Zoumanigui, Mr Mamady II Konaté) will be working on the theme of mitigating climate change by sequestering tonnes of CO2 through the diversified reforestation of tree species in the District of Boïdou.
- The Kogneni team (Ms Kolykovo Haba, Mr Labilé André Sagno, Mr Alfred Lamah) will be working on the participatory approach to forest heritage management in the Kogneni district.
- The Diaragberela team (Ms Kèbè Soropogui, Mr Lamine Tokssa Camara, Mr Dagnan Onivogui) will be working on participatory reforestation of degraded ecosystems in the Diaragberela district.
- The Konko team (Ms Madeleine Guilavogui, Mr Cécé Foromo Tokfa Haba, Mr Bienvenu Dramou) will be working on the management of certified quality carbon credits in accordance with the Gold Standard in the Konko sector.
We wish these future graduates a safe arrival and look forward to sharing our knowledge in the field.
