Summary

    Following World Health Organization declaring Covid-19 a pandemic and the different measures taken by European and African governments, the joint IRD-CNRS-Cirad office in Southern Africa require all researchers to postpone their missions and to avoid travelling as much as possible. All short-term missions are banned and all events are postponed until further notice. We call for everyone’s responsibility and exemplarity!
