• Summary: This article, in a section titled “Actions de<br />
Developpement,” follows a question <strong>and</strong> answer format.<br />
Dr. Akintayo, a teacher in the PNUD project, answers the<br />
questions. Q–When <strong>and</strong> why was the UN International<br />
Volunteer Corps (journée Internationale des Volontaires)<br />
created? Ans:–the JIV was established in 1985 by the<br />
General Assembly <strong>of</strong> the United Nations. It has three main<br />
goals, but in each country the work must be suited to local<br />
needs. In Central Chari the main problem is malnutrition,<br />
especially <strong>of</strong> children. Dr. Akintayo is using the <strong>soy</strong>bean, a<br />
miracle plant, to fi ght this problem. Many different delicious<br />
foods, such as <strong>milk</strong>, <strong>yogurt</strong>, cheese [t<strong>of</strong>u], sojatine or <strong>soy</strong><br />
c<strong>of</strong>fee, oil, biscuits, bread, cakes, etc. can be obtained from<br />
<strong>soy</strong>a. These foods can greatly enrich the local diet.<br />
Q–What obstacles has production <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>a faced in<br />
Tchad? Ans: The <strong>soy</strong>bean was introduced to Tchad about<br />
20 years ago, because the peasants were interested in its<br />
production. Unfortunately this interest quickly disappeared<br />
because there was no market for the fi rst harvest. The many<br />
ways <strong>of</strong> using the <strong>soy</strong>bean <strong>and</strong> its benefi ts were unknown by<br />
the population at that time. This is one <strong>of</strong> the objects <strong>of</strong> our<br />
exposition.<br />
Note 1. This article makes no mention <strong>of</strong> current<br />
<strong>soy</strong>bean cultivation in Chad.<br />
Note 2. This is the earliest document seen (Aug. 2009)<br />
concerning <strong>soy</strong>beans in Chad, or the cultivation <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>beans<br />
in Chad. This document contains the earliest date seen for<br />
<strong>soy</strong>beans in Chad, or the cultivation <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>beans in Chad<br />
(about 20 years ago, i.e., about 1975). The source <strong>of</strong> these<br />
<strong>soy</strong>beans is unknown. Address: Chad.<br />
1025. Osho, S.M. 1994. The role <strong>of</strong> research in the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>bean based small <strong>and</strong> medium food<br />
enterprises scale. Paper presented at the Small <strong>and</strong> Medium<br />
Scale Agro-food Enterprises Seminar. 34 p. Held 12-14 Sept.<br />
1994 at Dakar, Senegal.<br />
• Summary: “Abstract: Protein defi ciency is still a major<br />
problem in Africa particularly among the low income group.<br />
Soybean has the potential for alleviating malnutrition in<br />
African diets via <strong>soy</strong>bean based industries. The paper<br />
discusses the role <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>beans in the development <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>soy</strong>bean based small <strong>and</strong> medium scale food enterprises in<br />
Nigeria. The IDRC funded <strong>soy</strong>bean utilization project jointly<br />
implemented by IITA <strong>and</strong> National Institutes in Nigeria has<br />
been successful through research extension activities, in<br />
developing several food uses for <strong>soy</strong>bean <strong>and</strong> disseminating<br />
these technologies to industries. Several people have<br />
received training on <strong>soy</strong>bean technologies <strong>and</strong> over fi fty<br />
industries are processing <strong>soy</strong>bean into weaning foods,<br />
breakfast cereal, extruded products, fermented <strong>soy</strong>bean<br />
products, <strong>soy</strong>bean soups <strong>and</strong> condiments. The success <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>soy</strong>bean project is based on dissemination <strong>of</strong> developed<br />
technologies on <strong>soy</strong>bean.”<br />

The role <strong>of</strong> International Institute <strong>of</strong> Tropical Agriculture<br />
(IITA) in international agriculture research (It was founded<br />
in 1976 at Ibadan): Soybean research at IITA as it focuses<br />
on nutrition in Africa, nutritional value <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>beans, <strong>soy</strong>bean<br />
processing, utilization, <strong>and</strong> dissemination model (product<br />
development research, training <strong>and</strong> extension activities,<br />
assessment <strong>of</strong> impact), development <strong>of</strong> household <strong>and</strong> small<br />
scale processing technologies, <strong>soy</strong>bean food options <strong>and</strong><br />
technology (<strong>soy</strong>bean beverages <strong>and</strong> ice cream, <strong>soy</strong>bean based<br />
baby foods <strong>and</strong> breakfast cereals, defatted cake processing<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>soy</strong>bean oil extraction using mechanical screw press<br />
technology: IITA concept, extrusion cooking: IITA concept,<br />
<strong>other</strong> advantages <strong>of</strong> extrusion processing). Impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>bean<br />
utilization project: Constraints in research, policies <strong>and</strong><br />
programmes that affect <strong>soy</strong>bean research at IITA. Conclusion<br />
