2025 icipe Results Based management Framework iv INTRODUCTION This 2021–2025 Results Based Management (RBM) is based on the Centre’s new Vision and Strategy 2021 – 2025 publication - http://www.icipe.org/publications/corporate- publications/vision-and-strategy - which builds on the Centre’s achievements and experiences and incorporates the recommendations of the icipe Periodic External Review (IPER) held in 2018 - http://www.icipe.org/publications/corporate-publications. The IPER was expansive in its endorsement of what icipe has achieved from its research and development (R&D) outcomes and longstanding commitment to capacity building. The reviewers commended the Centre’s management and administration and recognized the quality and dedication of its research, capacity building, and support teams. The Centre aims to build on this track record for implementing the new Vision and Strategy. This Results-Based Management (RBM) framework is developed for effective and ambitious deployment of icipe’s research for development (R4D) capability to mitigate the health, food security and environmental risks faced by people in Africa. It describes how the Centre will explore opportunities for new enterprises that are based on insects and their products and advance discoveries that enable safer and more sustainable solutions to control pests and diseases using new and emerging science disciplines that icipe has at hand. To closely monitor icipe’s RBM, in 2018, icipe institutionalized its Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL) Strategy. The PMEL Strategy was developed to upgrade icipe’s existing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. The PMEL Strategy provides a framework to guide the prioritization and selection of interventions requiring evaluation and proposes criteria for selecting evaluation designs, methods, and tools. Established in 1970, icipe entered its second 50 years of service as Africa’s principal insect and arthropod research institute, in 2020, with the continuing goal of applying the best possible science to overcome the challenges in food and nutrition security, human and environmental health, and capacity building that face the continent’s rural and urban communities. icipe adopted RBM as a project planning and monitoring tool in 2011 and has had RBM framework covering the implementation periods of 2011 to 2013; and 2014 to 2020 - http://www.icipe.org/publications/corporate-publications/results-based-management. These two phases have provided evidence and lessons as an input to implementing the current 2021 – 2025 RBM framework and has offered useful insights for increasing the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of icipe’s further RBM iteration. RBM is first a management system and second, a progress reporting system. RBM is a life-cycle approach to management that integrates strategy, people, resources, processes, and measurements to improve decision-making, transparency, and accountability. RBM is essential for icipe’s senior management to exercise sound stewardship in compliance with acceptable performance and accountability standards. The RBM framework helps to track Centre level achievements. The modern management insists that programs define expected results, focus attention on result achievement, measure performance regularly and objectively, learn from performance information, and adjust to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Ongoing developments in information and communications technology (ICT) have made integrated management information systems possible, opening the door to capturing and processing large amounts of quantitative financial and output data, while analysing it in relationship to qualitative outcome data. RBM is clearly an evolution in management and not a revolution, with origins firmly rooted in the management sciences. These trends

    Predicting the Response of Insect Pests and Diseases of Arabica Coffee to Climate Change Along an Altitudinal Gradient in Mt

    Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences June 2018, Vol. 7, No. 1, pp. 134-140 ISSN: 2334-2404 (Print), 2334-2412 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved.

Elgon Region, Uganda Kagezi, H. Godfrey1*, Kucel Patrick1, Kobusinge Judith1, Olango D. Nicholas1 Nakibuule Lilian1, & Wagoire, W. William1. Abstract Recent studies have predicted an increase in temperature due to climate change which is likely to upsurge pressure from pests and diseases on Arabica coffee, Coffea arabica. Under the future climate change scenarios, elevation gradients can be used as analogues for global warming. Basing on this, we therefore determined the incidence and damage of Arabica coffee pests and diseases along an altitudinal gradient in Mt. Elgon region in order to predict their possible impact under these scenarios. Seven insect pest species were recorded - with the white coffee stem borers (WCSB) having the highest incidence of 13%. On the other hand, three diseases were recorded - with coffee leaf rust (CLR) having the highest mean severity of 1.9 on a 1-5 scale. Multiple regression analysis showed that the incidence of only WCSB decreased significantly (p=0.0169) with increasing altitude. This implies that under the future climate change scenarios, the impact of this insect pest on Arabica coffee will increase with increase in temperature. Therefore, adaptation mechanisms for climate adversaries such as inter-planting with shade trees should be advanced.

W., Phiri, N., Pratt, C., Tambo, J. KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE Executive Summary This Evidence Note provides new evidence on the distribution and impact of FAW in Africa, summarises research and development on control methods, and makes recommendations for sustainable management of the pest. FAW biology FAW populations in Africa include both the ‘corn strain’ and the ‘rice strain’. In Africa almost all major damage has been recorded on maize. FAW has been reported from numerous other crops in Africa but usually there is little or no damage. At the moment managing the pest in maize remains the overriding priority. In Africa FAW breeds continuously where host plants are available throughout the year, but is capable of migrating long distances so also causes damage in seasonally suitable environments. There is little evidence on the relative frequency of these two scenarios. Studies show that natural enemies (predators and parasitoids) in Africa have “discovered” FAW, and in some places high levels of parasitism have already been found. Distribution and Spread FAW in Africa Rapid spread has continued and now 44 countries in Africa are affected. There are no reports from North Africa, but FAW has reached the Indian Ocean islands including Madagascar. Environmental suitability modelling suggests almost all areas suitable for FAW in sub-Saharan Africa are now infested.

    Management of Fall Armyworm: the IPM Innovation Lab Approach

    Management of Fall Armyworm: The IPM Innovation Lab Approach Introduction: Native to the Americas, the fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda) reached Africa in 2016 and Asia in 2018. Since then, it has rapidly spread throughout the southern and northern hemisphere. The pest has four life stages - egg, larva, pupa, and adult - and can reproduce quickly. It attacks more than 300 plant species, with a preference for maize. FAW can lay up to 1,000 eggs in its lifetime and adult moths can fly 300km a night. FAW is an incredibly resilient pest. In addition to its rapid spread, the pest’s resilience to harsh conditions and chemical pesticides is setting unprecedented challenges for farmers worldwide. It is estimated that maize losses caused by FAW FAW Global Spread could amount to 80 million tonnes per year, or USD $18 billion per year. An IPM Approach: The IPM Innovation Lab (IPM IL) cur- rently works in seven countries in Asia and Africa, with a major focus on invasive species, FAW included. In 2018, IPM IL initi- ated augmentative biological control to combat the pest, a process that requires releasing natural enemies - or parasit- oids - that search for and lay eggs on FAW egg masses, killing the pest before it reaches its destructive larval stage. Since the parasitoids do not occur naturally in high enough numbers, IPM FAW damage on maize IL collaborators at “satellite-centers” mass-produce and release the natural enemies into maize fields, including egg parasitoids Trichogramma mwanzai and Telenomus remus in East Africa and Objectives Outcomes egg parasitoids Trichogramma chilonis and Telenomus remus in • Reduce crop loss due to • Significant improvement Nepal and Bangladesh.

Its 1.7 shows that, although most of Ugandan coffee production million smallholder coffee households represent 10% of can be sustained, the majority of the suitable area is in global coffee farms. The annual production of 3-4million need of substantial adaptation efforts. bags coffee accounts for 18% of the country’s annual exports. Local production systems are maladapted to future conditions and without adaptation, coffee in Uganda would About 77% of annual production is Robusta coffee likely become uneconomical with climate change in most produced in Central Uganda. Arabica is produced on the regions. However, globally coffee production systems have borders with Rwanda and Kenya. Most production is on been adapted to a wider range of climate conditions than small plots (0.25ha) that are intercropped with banana and currently observed in the country, suggesting that with other food crops. global technology transfer, especially of germplasm, Uganda may remain suitable for coffee production. Coffee production areas in Uganda have become drier and hotter over the past three decades. Annual temperatures Because of the high climate uncertainty for Uganda, we have risen across the country, potential evapotranspiration recommend a site-specific stepwise CSC pathway for increased, and the distribution of precipitation has become adaptation.
