icipe’s capacity building effort has always been intricately in-built into its Research and Development programmes. These span the whole continuum, from basic strategic research to technology development and validation, and ultimately community-based adaptation. Hence, icipe's training objectives at all levels are achieved as the Centre undertakes its core research work in fulfilment of its mandate. For nearly four decades, the centre has made significant impact in key areas in capacity and institutional building activities namely:

  • High-level manpower training at postgraduate level for leadership in scientific research and policy formulation;
  • Dissemination of technologies to national agricultural and health research and extension systems through group training courses; and 
  • Institutional development by nurturing and strengthening of African organisations and institutions.
