TCHALA Noudifoulè

I am a Senior Program Officer at the SSG West and Central Africa office, based in Lomé (TOGO). Before joining SSG, I served as the Director of the Littoral Agronomic Research Center (Centre de Recherche Agronomique du Littoral – CRAL) at the Togolese Institute for Agricultural Research (Institut Togolais de Recherche Agronomique – ITRA). I became part of ITRA as an Agronomist in 2009, and in 2019, I was appointed leader of the National Maize Program, where I worked as a maize breeder. I hold a Ph.D. in plant breeding from the West Africa Centre for Crop Improvement, WACCI (University of Ghana, Legon), a Master’s degree in Plant Protection and Breeding from the University of Ouagadougou (Université Joseph Ki-Zerbo), and an Agronomy Engineering degree from the University of Lomé.
