The
Arabian Peninsula Regional Program (APRP) of ICARDA serves the seven
countries of the Arabian Peninsula, namely, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and
the Republic of Yemen. The Program addresses three priority themes
(i) rangelands, forage and livestock; (ii) protected agriculture;
and (iii) water resources management. These themes are supported by
research in agroecological characterization and stress physiology.
Emphasis is also placed on institutional strengthening and capacity
building, human resource development, and promotion of the use of
information technology. APRP is financially supported by the Arab
Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD), the International
Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and, more recently, the
OPEC Fund for International Development. |
