The International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) is an autonomous international scientific organization, supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). IPGRIs mandate is to advance the conservation and use of plant genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations. IPGRIs headquarters is based in Rome, Italy, with offices in another 14 countries worldwide. It operates through three programmes: (1) the Plant Genetic Resources Programme, (2) the CGIAR Genetic Resources Support Programme, and (3) the Interna- tional Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain (INIBAP). The international status of IPGRI is conferred under an Establishment Agreement which, by January 1998, had been signed and ratified by the Governments of Algeria, Australia, Belgium, Benin, Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chile, China, Congo, Costa Rica, Côte dIvoire, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Greece, Guinea, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mauritania, Morocco, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Senegal, Slovak Republic, Sudan, Switzerland, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda and Ukraine. Financial support for the Research Agenda of IPGRI is provided by the Governments of Aus- tralia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Den- mark, Estonia, F.R.

Preface

The main function of this directory lies in the usefulness of the information it conveys. It has a record of contact information drawn from an IPGRI database of traditional vegetable workers, institutions and networks in sub-Saharan Africa. An international community of experts and workers in the area of Traditional African Vegetables already exists and is engaged in produc- tive research and dialogue. With the presentation of this first edition of the directory of Tradi- tional African Vegetable Workers we look forward to enabling direct contacts between these researchers and workers on all aspects of traditional African vegetables.

The scope of the directory is to give information on who works on African vegetables in the region and to provide a vehicle for fostering links between the workers. We would like to create an environment where information is exchanged easily between researchers and workers. The challenge is that the role and the potential of information and information exchange, and the sharing of experiences is becoming much more important in the face of growing threat of genetic erosion to our traditional African vegetable resources. The workers listed in this directory have responded to the challenge by ensuring conservation and continued use of the genetic resources of traditional African vegetables through their research, and we laud their efforts.

By continuously correcting and updating this directory, we ensure that the community of workers, which spans across many institutions and disciplines, keep in touch. This increases workers ability to cooperate and collaborate in common aspects of their work. We would encourage those workers who might not find their names, addresses and additional information on their scope of work mentioned in this first edition of the directory to complete the questionnaire included in the directory to enable the authors to make a more complete second edition.

The directory will also be used by IPGRI-SSA to distribute relevant publications to vegetable workers in Africa, on genetic resources of African vegetables, as well as research and information on upcoming meetings.

Dr. A.F.Attere Regional Director IPGRI-SSA Traditional African Vegetables: Directory of Research and Development Specialists 1

Introduction

In 1995 IPGRI organised the first international workshop on genetic resources of traditional Vegetables in Africa: conservation and use at the ICRAF Headquarters, Nairobi from 29 - 31 August. In the final plenary session of the the following points were made:

It was decided that some kind of network on African traditional vegetables would serve a useful purpose. However, it was thought necessary to first develop a list of existing relevant activities and initiatives. A committee consisting of Prof Chweya (Chair) and Drs Okafor, Diouf and Swai was estab- lished to coordinate follow-up activities to the workshop. IPGRI will look into the possibility of publishing proceedings of the workshop IPGRI will make available two pages of the regional newsletter on a permanent basis for exchange of information on African traditional vegetables. All participants will be placed on the IPGRI mailing list and were encouraged to send in news and information. IPGRI will develop and distribute a bibliography on African traditional vegetables.

IPGRI offered to produce a database of traditional vegetable workers, institutions and networks and make a follow up of the other points. After the Workshop, the momentum was kept resulting in the initiation of different activities on traditional African vegetables. Some of these include the following:

IPGRI has reserved two pages in the IPGRI-SSA regional newsletter for exchange of information on African vegetables starting Newsletter No. 8. Several other workshops have been organised resulting in projects on traditional African vegetables. These workshops are: Nairobi Meeting: August 28-30, 1996 Limbe Meeting: January 13-18, 1997 Proceedings of two workshops (Schippers, 1997; Guarino, 1997) and monographs on Cleome gynandra L. (Chweya et al., 1997) and Solanum nigrum complex (Edmonds et al., 1997) have been published. Informal contacts between researchers, National Programmes, International Organizations and NGOs have taken place.

A database of traditional vegetable workers, institutions and networks was started in 1997 based on the list of participants of the different workshops and a questionnaire that was circulated in the region. This database has since been used by IPGRI to distribute some of the mentioned vegetable publications and also the IPGRI-SSA newsletter. To enable direct contacts between researchers and workers on all aspects of traditional vegetables, this database is now published as a directory of Research and Development Specialists. This directory is based on the information in the database as at July 1998. Therefore it is possible that some workers might not find their names and activities in this publication or are mentioned without any information on their activities and fields of interest. The editors of the directory decided also that not more than three 2 Traditional African Vegetables: Directory of Research and Development Specialists workers per institute would be mentioned. Users of this directory can find more information on other workers in these institutes by contacting the directors of the institutes or IPGRI-SSA.

How to use this directory

The workers and institutes are grouped in alphabetical order by country and institute. On the contents page you can find the pages of the country you are looking for. If you are interested in a specific crop or thematic interest you can consult the index page which gives the page numbers where this information can be found.

Updating of the database and the directory

To enable the updating of the database we have added the questionnaire in Annex 1. We invite all traditional African vegetable workers to send new or updated information through the questionnaire to the IPGRI-SSA office. We hope to produce a regular edition of this directory and include new information. The directory and the database will probably also be diffused through other media. There is the intention to make a special website on traditional African vegetables. You will be kept informed through the IPGRI-SSA newsletter when this site will be available. The database and directory will surely get their place on it. Traditional African Vegetables: Directory of Research and Development Specialists 3
