Research projects

Research-square-web-170In Phase I (2004–2008), the focus was on exploration and discovery with an emphasis on crop diversity, while in Phase II (2009–2014), the emphasis is on application and impact, centring on breeding and services to breeders.

Phase I work covered 21 CGIAR mandate crops, while Phase II concentrates on improving about half of them for drought tolerance. The nine key crops in Phase II are beans, cassava, chickpeas, cowpeas, groundnuts, maize, rice, sorghum and wheat. The 12 additional crops covered in Phase I are bananas and plantains (Musa spp), barley, coconuts, finger millet, foxtail millet, lentils, pearl millet, pigeonpeas, potatoes, soya beans, sweet potatoes and yams.

Details of the projects are in the Project Updates, with  synopes in the Project Briefs.
