The IPORA project is intended to serve as a magnet that will attract new projects involving partners of the consortium members. Within this wider network, all the stakeholders, researchers, civil society, beneficiary populations and decision-makers must be integrated in an inclusive and participatory bottom-up research approach.
The IPORA project must ensure that the general public has access to the research data. The outputs of the IPORA project must be widely disseminated to reach planners and influence decision-making processes and to spread a culture of participatory scientific research within society.
The African continent is undergoing rapid climatic, economic, technological, societal, environmental, population and epidemiological change.
A transdisciplinary approach to these phenomena is needed to better understand the processes at work, and to be more useful to the decision-makers who design public policies.
Members of the IPORA network currently come from the fields of economics, sociology, political science, public health, anthropology, agri-food science, law and environmental science. Together, they manage a program structured around 5 axes and comprising 17 research projects.

Multidimensional upheavals are by nature complex. Public policy requires both factual analysis and consensus-based approaches. The latter are built on contradictory exchanges, enabling each party to better understand the arguments of the others. We invite you to take part in our debates on the topics:
IPORA also offers interdisciplinary scientific activities through workshops and seminars organized in such a way that participation can take place face-to-face or remotely.
The partners give their views on the value of the IPORA network and their vision of interdisciplinarity.
