This toolkit was created based on learnings from the YIIFSWA-II Program™ and partner resources.
About the YIIFSWA-II Program™
Aimed at transforming the formal yam seed system in Nigeria and Ghana through a private-sector-led seed system that delivers competitively priced, high-quality seed tubers to farmers, the YIIFSWA-II program is the second phase of Yam Improvement for Income and Food Security in West Africa and is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The program is led by the Nigeria-based International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in collaboration with Context Global Development (CGD), Sahel Capital (Sahel), national yam research institutions, seed certification agencies, and private seed companies in Nigeria and Ghana.
