About the ACP Sugar Research Programme
The ACP sugar research programme will provide solutions to the sugar industry in ACP countries, by responding to a selected number of clearly identified technological challenges that hamper the sugarcane sector's performance. A total of eleven research and innovation projects will be implemented under the programme, covering three distinctive areas of research: (cane varieties, costs and losses cuttings)
The operation of the SRP
The Coordinating Unit
The Coordinating Unit will assist the Secretariat of the ACP Group to ensure that: all eleven research projects are effectively implemented, with a results oriented focus, to achieve the goals of improving sector competitiveness among ACP cane sugar producer countries;
The Programme gouvernance
The Steering Committee will be responsible for the programme's overall guidance, approving yearly work programmes and deciding upon unallocated funds. It will ensure that research programme and projects are generally coherent and that their purposes are consistent with the goals pursued under the amsp. It will examine, discuss and agree progress reports.
La Conférence "IS-2011" sur "L'équilibre entre la production de sucre et la production d'énergie dans les pays en développement: les technologies durables et les stratégies de marketing" portera sur les questions liées aux cultures et aux industries sucrières intégrées. Elle constitue une importante opportunité pour des chercheurs pour échanger leurs points de vue sur ces thèmes.
