Who are we?

CWISA’s mission is to transform Africa’s invasive weeds from threats into opportunities through cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and evidence-based solutions. We advance regional weed science, promote sustainable and climate-smart agriculture, and develop circular-economy pathways that convert harmful plants into valuable resources. By working with farmers, researchers, communities, and policymakers, we strive to strengthen food security, protect ecosystems, and build resilient livelihoods across the continent.
