The DigiCLA project focuses on enhancing maize productivity in northern Benin by tackling the devastating impact of the Fall Armyworm (CLA). Using the AGriCef digital platform, the project empowers smallholder farmers—particularly women and youth—with localized, agro-ecological solutions, early warning systems, and real-time advisory support. By integrating advanced technologies and engaging local stakeholders, DigiCLA fosters sustainable, inclusive agricultural growth, reduces crop losses, and boosts rural livelihoods.

DigiCLA is one of the 3 projects financed by AGriDI  in Benin.
