Research and innovation: key inputs for sustainable development
- 1. www.icipe.org Research and innovation: key inputs for sustainable development Segenet Kelemu Director General & CEO, icipe
- 2. www.icipe.org General facts – International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) • A Center of Excellence in Africa- for research and capacity building for insect science and its application (almost 50 years old) • An intergovernmental organization- Charter signed by 13 countries worldwide • Four major Thematic areas of health research: Plants, animals, humans and the environment • A highly successful capacity building program with 150-180 graduate students annually; 50 interns • >500 staff (42 nationalities) and 100-150 contracted workers • 300 global partners
- 3. www.icipe.org icipe’s mission To help alleviate poverty, ensure food security and improve the overall health status of peoples of the tropics by developing and extending management tools and strategies for harmful and useful arthropods, while preserving the natural resource base through research and capacity building. General facts - icipe
- 4. www.icipe.org General facts - icipe • Stockholm Convention Regional Centre; • FAO designated center for vectors and vector-borne animal diseases; • A key and lead partner of WHO-AFRO/icipe for vector management; • World Organization for Animal Health (OIE)-designated OIE Collaborating Centre for Bee Health in Africa; • The Centre is 100% solar power; • A member of AIRCA (Association of International Research and Development Centers for Agriculture- 9 non-CGIAR centers)

- 6. www.icipe.org Why insects? • Of the 1.4 million described animal species on earth 1 million are insects • They pollinate many of our fruits, flowers, vegetables and other plants • They beneficial - many are predatory or parasitic • Indicators of environmental change • Primary or secondary decomposers • Major role in the food web • Interesting part of landscape and nature • They are harmful - cause damage to crop, livestock and transmit diseases (e.g. mosquitoes, tsetse flies)
