International Durum Screening Nursery (IDSN) distributes diverse CIMMYT-bred spring durum wheat germplasm adapted to irrigated and variable moisture stressed environments. Disease resistance and high industrial pasta quality are essential traits possessed in this germplasm. It is distributed to 100 locations, and contains 150 entries.

International Durum Yield Nurseries are replicated yield trials designed to measure the yield potential and adaptation of superior CIMMYT-bred spring durum wheat germplasm that have been developed from tests conducted under irrigation and induced stressed cropping conditions in northwest Mexico. These materials have been subjected to numerous diseases (leaf, stem and yellow rust; Septoria tritici blotch) and varied growing environments. It is distributed to 70 locations, and contains 50 entries.

In May 2006, a Maize Germplasm Network Meeting was held at CIMMYT Headquarters in Texcoco, Mexico, sponsored by the Crop Trust, the World Bank and CIMMYT. Thirty particip ants, from Mexican and international institutions, were invited by the meeting co-organizers, Dr. Suketoshi Taba, the Head of the CIMMYT Maize Collection at the time, and Dr. Major Goodman (North Carolina State University, USA), “…to develop and make recommendations on what, where, and how the world maize genetic resources should be conserved in the long term.” The end-product of this meeting was a document entitled, “Global Strategy for the Ex situ Conservation and Utilization of Maize Germplasm,” which was completed in September 2007 (http://repository.cimmyt.org/xmlui/handle/10883/17829). The objective of the document was “…to provide a framework for the efficient and effective ex situ conservation of the globally important collections of maize.” Close to a decade later, in February 2016, the International Maize Genetic Resources Advisory Committee (IMGRAC) was convened at CIMMYT Headquarters. The main objectives of this committee are to implement and update the global maize conservation strategy, provide global assessments, technical advice, and recommendations for the conservation and use of genetic resources of maize and related species to individual genebanks, other globally important holders of the crop collection, and the C rop Trust as needed. This advisory committee will reach out to the global user community through its representation, as well as through targeted communications and information sharing. The purpose of this meeting is not only to take stock of the areas of accomplishment, but also to address those that have stagnated. The 2007 global strategy provides a framework for an analysis of what has been successful and what has failed, and to prioritize our future actions. This site provides a platform for sharing the presentations given at the IMGRAC Meeting, as well as other documents that are generated by the group. IMGRAC Meeting Steering Committee: Denise E. Costich (CIMMYT), Michael Abberton (IITA), Paula Bramel (CropTrust), Cinta Romay (Cornell), Terry Molnar (CIMMYT) IMGRAC Committee Chair: Bill Tracy (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

The Adoption Pathways project was part of a portfolio of projects that has contributed to the broader theme of sustainable intensification research led by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and made possible by the contribution of several teams from national and international research groups brought together by funding from the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). The project was undertaken in the five Eastern and Southern African countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania. 1. Gender disaggregated three wave panel data set (2010/11, 2013), building on a legacy dataset collected under a related ACIAR funded project (SIMLESA) is now being developed covering close to 3500 households in each data wave across the five project countries. The 2015/16 data will be available in due course. 2. Several empirical evaluations of the gender gaps in technology adoption, food security and market access have been completed and published. 3. These results have been shared in various policy forums including but not limited to annual project meetings. In order to achieve its full impact in the coming years; we propose that new projects and initiatives based on the work of the Adoption Pathways project be established. These should focus on capacity building for the analysis of panel datasets, continued work on studying intrahousehold input allocation and sharing of agricultural output and scaling up the findings from this project to influence next generation of sustainable agriculture policies.

Based on the data collected during the reconnaissance survey, a total of five districts were selected for the baseline survey. Two districts were from western Kenya region (Bungoma and Siaya) and three districts from eastern Kenya region (Embu, Meru South and Imenti South). A total of 600 households were targeted for this survey (300 in each region). In western Kenya, each district was allocated 150 households. Similarly, in eastern Kenya, each district was allocated 100 households. Efforts were made to ensure representativeness of the sample depending on the population of the study areas. Proportionate random sampling was designed to select divisions from each district, locations from each division (see survey summary document on main project page), villages from each sub-location, and households from each village. The survey villages were randomly picked from the list prepared for each division in each district. Finally, the number of households to be surveyed in each village was proportional to the number of households in that village. A list of households was made from each of the selected village and surveyed households were randomly picked. Please refer to baseline reports include with the data.
