Major Achievements
Since we started, we are proud to have achieved in the area of pesticides analysis.
The network's establishment (through the most dedicated logistical and financial support of IPICS) has provided coordination of the human resources capacity in chemical analysis of pesticide research within the region and created an interactive atmosphere among researchers in the region and promotion of south-south and north-south collaboration. The regional networking approach in chemical analysis of pesticides research has offered many opportunities, among them the following:.
Promotion of the regional research approach to solving common problems.
Fostering of intra-regional capacity and capability for the training of both M.Sc. and Ph.D. students.
Our future plans
-
Development of the Post-Graduate Program
School of Tropical Pesticide Management (STPM) is held annually with an aim of bringing together students in pollutants analysis.
-
Development of Joint Research Proposal
Development of a joint research proposal based on a concept paper involving four countries, viz., Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, to be sent to the University of Florida. The proposal will be on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).
-
Development of Distance Education
The need for distance education courses in undergraduate, graduate and in-service programs has been noted by the network. Courses that are appropriate for the region, involving students, farmers and farm workers.
