WIKTROP is a geographical extension of WIKWIO portal to tropical areas around the world. It aims to strengthen science and technology orientation to achieving food security by enhancing agricultural productivity in the tropical areas. Agricultural productivity is hampered by many factors, one important among them being weeds. Wiktrop aims to build and leverage a network which will consolidate existing scientific and technical knowledge and facilitate sharing of new information on weeds and weed management around the tropics. Wiktrop will deploy appropriate ICT solutions to build a multi-stakeholder community of researchers, extension services, lecturers, civil society and farmers around a knowledge base of weeds. The action aims at enhancing the capacities of researchers, reinforce the institutional capabilities of the National Agricultural Research System (NARS) and Universities, empower extension services and improving their quality of service, through a participatory, technology facilitated platform.
