The initiatives of the Global Knowledge Center on Crop Biotechnology (KC) as well as the individual inputs of the Biotechnology Information Centers (BICs) have collectively contributed to addressing the information interests and needs of different stakeholders within countries and across nations. This Brief shows how a growing understanding of science communication has made it possible to move beyond one-way communication activities whose main objective is merely to disseminate information. Now we see more efforts to engage the public in constructive and proactive debate. The inspiration to write this Brief stems from the ISAAA book Communication Challenges and Convergence in Crop Biotechnology released in 2011. It presents case studies in Asia and Australia on the status of biotechnology in specific countries and the communication activities being implemented by both private and public sectors. The book highlights the fact that ISAAA’s global information network is playing a significant and crucial role in the greater awareness and understanding of crop biotechnology and in contributing to the dynamic field of science communication. The implementation of communication modes or approaches is only part of a more complex process. However, the intent of this Brief is to focus on the divergent channels and combination of strategies that the network has implemented. From an array of conventional media formats (both interpersonal and mediated), the network has ventured into innovative modes that reflect the creative and dynamic approach to addressing specific challenges to biotech communication. The Brief starts with an introductory discussion on how new ideas, innovations, and processes go through a process of uncertainty, resistance, and fear before they are eventually accepted or adopted. Lessons from history suggest the need for openness and transparency through public engagement with science and technology and the need for science communication. The second chapter deals with how ISAAA responds to the need for science communication and knowledge management by highlighting the biotech information network in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. Unique cases from two countries documented by BICs demonstrate how specific communication activities have contributed to meeting desired objectives and reaching identified audiences. Subsequent chapters focus on the use of face-to-face communication and mediated channels, showing the strengths and weaknesses as well as the documented impact of stakeholder engagement, publications, radio, cartoons, and the Internet. The Brief ends with an analysis of the biotech communication landscape and the challenges and opportunities ahead. iii Preface Brief 45 would not have been possible without the support of Drs. Clive James (Chair of the Board) and Randy A. Hautea (Global Coordinator) of ISAAA. They encouraged the KC team to develop this publication as part of its knowledge management activity in particular, and as a contribution to the robust field of biotech communication. Much of the information and experiences shared in the Brief came from existing documents, publications, reports, and articles generated by ISAAA and its biotech information network. Additional details were sourced from the BICs during a communication workshop in Phuket, Thailand in 2012, and subsequent email interviews. Both KC and the BICs provided substantial inputs, reviewed the content, contributed photos, and gave feedback during various stages in the development of this publication. Several people contributed to making this Brief a reality. The Brief was reviewed by Dr. Lily Ann D. Lando, Director, Applied Communication Division, Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development, and Dr. Renando O. Solis, ISAAA consultant. Dr. Serlie B. Jamias, Associate Professor of the College of Development Communication, University of the Philippines Los Baños edited the final manuscript. Eric John Azucena conceptualized the innovative layout and cover design. ISAAA staff provided various forms of assistance during the preparation of this publication. We hope that the members of the ISAAA global information network and all those involved in biotech communication will review what have been collectively implemented, adapt from the documented experiences, and get inspired to develop more innovative and out-of-the-box ideas. More importantly, however, is that we should be guided by the thought that modalities are only tools to facilitate communication so that people have a favorable environment for transparent and open discussion about the technology.

  • Pvamu Kicks Off Pacesetters Initiative to Assist African
    PVAMU KICKS OFF PACESETTERS INITIATIVE TO ASSIST AFRICAN COUNTRIES The new multidisciplinary effort will help improve food security, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy and social welfare in Africa. PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (June 25, 2021) – Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) is spearheading a new multidisciplinary effort, created by The International Institute of Family Development Inc., to help improve food security, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy and social welfare in Africa. Called the Pacesetters Initiative, this new partnership with students, faculty and industry leaders in specific African nations will draw from PVAMU’s celebrated academic programs to comprehensively address multi- faceted problems in Africa. “It’s an opportunity, in keeping with the university’s Quality Enhancement Plan for the next decade, for our students to be more internationally engaged with serious issues,” said project lead Camille Gibson, Ph.D., professor and interim dean of the College of Juvenile Justice. Through the university’s relationship with The International Institute of Family Development Inc., PVAMU has forged formal academic partnerships with: . Kenyatta University, Kenya . Great Lakes University of Kisumu, Kenya . The University of The Gambia, The Gambia . The University of Liberia, Liberia . Covington University, Liberia . Bong County Technical College, Liberia “The Pacesetters Initiative opens the possibility to build the resumes and skillsets of both African and HBCU students,” echoed executive managing director of The International Institute of Family Development Inc. Veola Green. “We hope this dynamic connection can solve real-world problems.” PVAMU is scheduled to kick off the venture this summer with partnerships with the University of Liberia and Great Lakes University of Kisumu in Kenya.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The Management Univesity of Africa Repository P.O. Box 13926, Nakuru Email: [email protected]; [email protected] For a long time now, Kenyan graduates from institutions of higher learning have been accused of incompetence and deficiency in vital experience needed in the job market. Whereas this could be disputed, worrying trends show that many such graduates are finding it increasingly difficult to secure jobs, while, at the same time, those seeking further education abroad are subjected to greater scrutiny. A question begging answer is whether Kenyans are getting trained for the right purposes and to acceptable levels of proficiency. Being a market- driven economy, the disconnect between education policy formulation and implementation and market consultation is worrying. This is especially so given the rapid expansion being witnessed in institutions of higher learning. Using a Qualitative Approach and Survey Methodology, it is here argued that this trend was responsible for the growing gap between theory and practice, and the diminishing command of research capability and analytical communication among graduates. It is also questioned, whether the expansion strategy in institutions of higher education is in tandem with human capital development for sustainable quality-assurance. This paper examines this phenomenon and recommends a need for a more effective regulative framework for institutions of higher learning. It proposes that for proper quality structures to be in place, there is need for wide stakeholder consultations and a paradigm shift from process-based management to results-based initiatives.

He guided and propelled WOU’s rise to prominence, not only in Malaysia, but also internationally, before he was succeeded by Emeritus Prof Dato’ Dr Wong Tat Meng. Under Raj’s leadership, WOU has garnered several international and national awards and recognition. Once again, our highest salutation and heartfelt appreciation to Raj! I was honoured and humbled to be appointed by the Wawasan Open University Sdn Bhd (WOUSB) Board of Directors (BOD) as the BoG Chairman to succeed Raj in March 2017. I chaired the BoG meeting for the first time on 31 May 2017.
