We recently hosted the VACS Seed Systems Project closeout workshop in Thiès, Senegal, marking the culmination of three years of targeted implementation.
The event brought together a diverse coalition of key actors from research institutions, local seed companies, extension services, and public institutions.
This workshop was a powerful reminder that while this specific project phase is closing, the institutional capacities built and the local seed networks strengthened will continue to serve Senegalese farmers for years to come.
