DECOLONISING KNOWLEDGE: icipe takes a stand
Over the recent past, a movement around the concept of Decolonising Knowledge has gained force across academic and international networks. The decolonial ideology is not new and in Africa, the philosophy was most prominent in the 1960s –1980s among postcolonial theorists, radical pan-Africanists and literary giants agitating for Decolonising the Mind, meaning liberation through endogenous, Africa-centred knowledge production.
Recently graduated icipe scholars
Between January – June 2021, 13 icipe postgraduate scholars from Cameroon Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and Zimbabwe have graduated over the past six months. Their theses contributed knowledge on the management of Tuta absoluta using an imported parasitic wasp, Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris; changes in grain legumes during hermetic storage in triple layer bags; a software to optimise application of biopesticides; and phosphorus fluxes and vegetable growth as influenced by phosphate rock management under acid soils.
