Item Socratic Playground for Learning (SPL): An AI-Powered Personal Tutor Based on Guided Dialogue with Self-Discovery(FARA, 2026-03-26) Eric TsuiThis presentation introduces the Socratic Playground for Learning (SPL), an AI-powered personal tutoring system designed to enhance learning through guided dialogue and self-discovery. Drawing on the principles of Socratic learning, the system leverages artificial intelligence to promote critical thinking, metacognition, and personalized learning experiences. The presentation explores how generative AI can transform traditional instructor-led training into learner-centered education by enabling adaptive learning pathways, real-time feedback, and interactive knowledge construction. It highlights key features such as scaffolded responses, personalized support, and knowledge checks, while emphasizing responsible AI use within knowledge management frameworks. The work situates AI-enabled learning within broader concepts such as human-centered AI and responsible knowledge management in the context of SocietyItem Responsible AI in Agroecology: Transforming Knowledge Into Impact(FARA, 2026-03-26) Ines AmamouThis presentation explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in transforming knowledge management (KM) within agroecology systems in Africa. Delivered within the context of the Knowledge Centre for Organic Agriculture and Agroecology in Africa (KCOA), it highlights how AI can bridge the gap between complex scientific knowledge and practical application for farmers and stakeholders. The presentation introduces a paradigm shift from traditional information retrieval methods to interactive AI-driven knowledge systems, emphasizing natural language interaction, intelligent synthesis, and actionable insights. It outlines practical applications of AI in content creation, communication, and digital knowledge dissemination, while promoting responsible and ethical use of AI tools. The work underscores AI’s potential to enhance agricultural productivity, support digital inclusion, and strengthen sustainable agroecological practices across Africa.Item Analysis of the Dynamics and Obstacles to the Adoption of Technological Innovations: the Case of Rice Farming in Togo(FARA, 2018-02) Alpha T, Bonfoh B, Kpemoua K, Koussa D, Zoupoya K.Item Africa Climate Smart Agriculture Implementation Plan, 2022-2032(FARA, 2022) Ogiogio, GItem Factors Influencing Scaling-Up of Agricultural Innovations: Lessons from Ghana(FARA, 2017) Richard Ampadu-Ameyaw, Rose Omari and George Owusu EssegbeyThis study examines the key factors influencing the scaling-up of agricultural innovations in Ghana. Using evidence from agricultural innovation platforms and development interventions, the authors analyze how institutional arrangements, stakeholder engagement, policy environments, and capacity development influence the adoption and diffusion of agricultural technologies. The report highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration, effective knowledge sharing, and enabling policy frameworks in facilitating the successful scaling of innovations. Lessons from Ghana demonstrate that innovation platforms, farmer participation, and strong partnerships between research institutions, extension services, and private sector actors significantly enhance the likelihood of sustainable technology adoption and widespread impact.Item A Review of Youth Employment Initiatives In Benin: Policy Perspectives(2020-03) Adegbola YP, Crinot GF, Dassou SS, Atacolodjou AL, Kouton- Bognon B, Adegbola MC-P, P Boadu, and Fatunbi A.OItem A Comparative Study on the Determinants of the Level of Mechanization in Kenya: The Case of Rice and Banana Value Chains(FARA, 2019-06) Makini F.W., Mulinge W.W., Mose L.O., Ongala J., Salasya B., Makelo M., Kamau G.M. and Wawire N.Item Building Skills and Research- Extension Linkages for Sustainable Agricultural Transformation: Insights from Nigeria(FARA, 2023-04) Daudu, C.
