As part of South-South Cooperation, I have the honor to announce that the Agadir Horticultural Complex (CHA), in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), plans to launch two Master's programs in "Locust Science" starting in September 2023. These trainings will be delivered in English and French, benefiting executives from English- and French-speaking African countries with friendly ties with Morocco.

These Master's programmes, the result of an Excellent partnership and a shared aspiration between the CHA and the FAO, take advantage of the pivotal role of the Horticultural Complex as a Hub for higher education in Africa. These Masters will constitute a source of knowledge and innovation, forming a new generation of transnational leaders and supporting the economic and social development of the region.

The contribution of the FAO to these Masters will be concretized by a partnership agreement with the Agadir Horticultural Complex. To this end, a signing ceremony of the agreement establishing the Masters is scheduled for Thursday, July 13 at 12:30 p.m. in the Grand-Amphi of the CHA. This ceremony will also provide an opportunity for our teaching team to present in detail the programs of these trainings.
