AfriLAB: Regional Soil Laboratory Network for Africa | First meeting. 21 - 24 May 2019 | Nairobi, Kenya
Niger
- 1. LASEVE (Laboratoire d‘Analyses des Sols Eau, Vegetaux et Engrais) NIGER By Mr Abdourahaman Elh Moudi Moustapha
- 2. Soil analysis in your country How many routine laboratories exist in your country? Are they ‘mobile’ laboratories? Are soil test kits commonly used? a- In Niger we have three known routine laboratories: -LASEVE( Laboratoire d’Analyses Sol, Eau, Vegetaux et Engrais) at INRAN -ICRISAT Niamey -LASDES(Laboratoire Sol, Eau et Dynamique des surfaces) at Université Abdou Moumouni of Niamey -QCL(Quality Control Laboratory) which is private in Niamey b- Mobile laboratories exist only in INRAN known as ‘’Soil Doc’’ pilot phase c- Soil kits are not used in Niger up to now
- 4. Strength/weakness IV- The forces include: - Mandate for official analysis in Niger - Capacity of analyisng numerous samples with diversity of requests - New building is under construction by WAPP Niger - Availability of Legislative and regulatory texts (statutes) - Long experience of partnership with sister institutions - Presence of interns to strengthen the capacity of the laboratory personnel - Project of acquisitions of new equipment by PPAO SAPEP and KFW - Existence of highly experienced human resources - Availability of ECOWAS manual for quality control - Presence of researchers attached to laboratory with diverse field of specialization V- There are many things to improve including: - Most of devices are obsoletes - Logistics and maintenance highly needed - The current infrastructure is under degradation - Some materials and equipment are out of use - The aging workforce
- 5. Some Laboratory Technicians at work
- 6. Expectations out of this meeting and GLOSOLAN? To make LASEVE attain a higher level in terms of analysis capability by : -Offering through either short or long duration training of personnel a capacity reinforcement regarding all aspects related to modern laboratories. -Provide the scientists attached to the LASEVE with such knowledge enabling them to face any challenge as soil reclamation, conservation, hygien and health…etc. -Provide the possibility to the lab to be informed and able to get novelty in terms of technologies used for analysis in general at the right time. - Opportunity to get access to modern and advanced materials suited to precise analysis as well as for academic purposes. -
- 7. Than attention Thanks for your attention
