Nairobi, 8 April 2025: The International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) in collaboration with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT (The Alliance), hosted a first of its own kind dinner at the Duduville campus in Nairobi.

The 2^nd Eastern Africa Agroecology Conference, held in Nairobi, Kenya, featured a keynote speech by Dr Chrysantus Mbi Tanga, Senior Scientist and Head of the Insects for Food, Feed and Other Uses (INSEFF) Programme at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe).

AKADEMIYA2063 and the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate in advancing research, innovation, and evidence-based policymaking to support sustainable agricultural transformation, food security, and environmental management across Africa.

With the support of the European Union, Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA), icipe and partners have launched the Regional Multi-actor Research Networks on Agroecology (RMRM-EA). This initiative will boost agroecological practices, thus contributing to much needed transformation of agri-food systems in sub-Saharan Africa.
