Africa Rice Center (WARDA) is an autonomous intergovernmental research association of African member states. WARDA is also one of the 15 international agricultural research Centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). 

WARDA’s mission is to contribute to poverty alleviation and food security in Africa, through research, development and partnership activities aimed at increasing the productivity and profitability of the rice sector in ways that ensure the sustainability of the farming environment.


WARDA hosts the African Rice Initiative (ARI), the Regional Rice Research and Development Network for West and Central Africa (ROCARIZ), and the Inland Valley Consortium (IVC). It also supports the Coordination Unit of the Eastern and Central African Rice Research Network (ECSARRN), based in Tanzania.

Since January 2005, WARDA has been working out of the IITA-Benin station in Cotonou, having relocated from its headquarters in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire, because of the Ivoirian crisis. WARDA has regional research stations near St Louis, Senegal and at the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ibadan, Nigeria.
