Board Meeting9–14 November 2016

Ibadan, Nigeria

www.iita.org I www.cgiar.org

Infrastructure in Nigeria needs rehabilitation


Cleaning IITA Ibadan


Negligent use of IITA facilities


Reengineered Institute!

Stronger IITA Growing funding > $150m Upgrading infrastructures Boosting staff morale Building partnership Scientific breakthrough

Achievement First term: 2011-2016


IITA in Dar, Tanzania built in 14 months

Eastern Africa Hub: Plant health issues


Staff morale


Dr. Charity Mutegi work on Aflatoxins


Second term: 2017 to 2021

Building on Phase 1 and delivery of R4D Consolidation of growth and repositioning IITA innovates to transform African agriculture


African agriculture today

Food import s: $35 b in 2016, $110 b in 2025

Human resources engagement in agriculture

Emerging agribusiness in Africa

Impact at farm level documented Quality of research demonstrated Innovative partnerships: that deliver R4D Transparent technical and financial reporting

Request by Donors for support

Similarity with IITA’s strategic pillars


Mindset change in Donor communitiesGates Foundation, AfDB, IFAD, WB, EC, and USAID From project-based to country-level engagement Recognition of productivity growth happens at scale Private sector-led agricultural transformation

IITA should adapt to this new reality

Example of how TAAT-AARP-CRPs work Industrializing cassava

• TAAT-----Cassava bread policy, scaling up seed system• AARP----Multilocational trials of weed control, agronomy• CRPs-----Next generation of cassava with High protein

Transforming African savanna• TAAT-----Expanding DTM and promiscuous soybean market• AARP----Adaptation to climate change and processing• CRPs-----Biofortification and nonresponsive soils
