Global coalition on IPMGlobal coalition on IPM
The SP-IPM is an inter-institutional partnership program launched in 1996 by the CGIAR as part of its response to Agenda 21 of 1992 Rio Earth Summit which recognized that IPM allows more food to be produced with minimal damage to agriculture and natural ecosystems
Our missionOur mission
To increase the quality and usefulness of IPM research and outreach for higher productivity & sustainable profitability of cropping systems leading to improved livelihoods, particularly in resource-limited agriculture in the developing world
Implementation approachImplementation approach
Through inclusive partnerships:
Harness complementary differences (marriage of core competencies) between diverse stakeholder groups to impact on CGIAR output in the areas of:
Assist governments’/end-user efforts to fulfil obligations to international conventions and guidelines on plant protection for improved livelihoods
Work programmesWork programmes
Promote inter-institutional partnerships/break isolation barriers to IPM research and outreach
Develop/promote holistic & ecological approaches and methodologies for IPM technology development and harmonize these across localities
Develop/promote effective communication and learning models for informed IPM decision-making leading to higher, sustainable and healthier harvests
Promote policy environment more favourable to the development and application of IPM strategies for sustainable agriculture
Foster broader awareness of the impact and benefits of IPM leading to wider adoption of more sustainable crop protection strategies
Work programme 1: InterconnectivityOutput 2004 achievement Emerging issues
Inter-institutional consensus on SP-IPM content and delivery
- New partners: IPGRI-INIBAP
- New reps: IAPPS, CIAT
Good donor confidence:
- Switzerland: 2004 funds received;
- Italy: 2003 funds received in 2004
- CGIAR: 2004 funds approved
- Norway: No funds received for 2003 and 2004
- Develop 2005/6 milestones as basis to assess program results
- Link with/support inter-institutional initiatives outside TWGs:
a) Post-harvest IPM/food quality initiatives by CIMMYT and IITA underlined by media reports of Aflatoxin-related deaths in Kenya
b) legume pod borer IPM initiatives by IITA, AVRDC, ICRISAT in which non SP-IPM seed funds have id 2 Maruca parasitoids id, cleared 1 of them for introduction into W. Afr
c) ICARDA hosts sub-regional interests in Sunn pest
Global visibility to promote inter-institutional collaboration
- IIWG discussions/consensus on biotechnology tools & products in IPM
- Develop practical indicators on technical, environmental & socio-economic issues to guide Govt decisions on incorporation of IPM biotech tools/products in agric
Work programme 3: Learning IPM Output 2004 achievement Emerging issues
FPR/FPL processes in IPM
- Field tested Q&A guidelines to promote learning and incorporation of FPR/FPL processes in IPM projects
- FPR/FPL skills promoted in phase III of tropical whiefly IPM project in Bolivia
- FPR/FPL skills to be promoted in activities of the whitefly IPM project in E. Africa
Farmer learning & adaptation of IPM
Handing over of SP-IPM pilot sites- ICARDA contributions to NARS-led
FAO/TCP project on Orobanche in faba bean, 6 countries in N. Africa
- IITA contributions to NARS-led FAO/TCP project on Striga in maize & sorghum, 3 countries in W. Africa
- List of farmer tested maize, faba bean & trap crops/plants which suppress Orobanche and Striga
Establish new SP-IPM pilot sites- Agreement on priority problems,
new locations- Baseline info on bio-physical,
socio-economic, partnership features of new pilot sites
- Participatory analysis of problems, researcher IPM options, farmers’ IPM coping strategies at sites
- Field-based training/FFS: extension and farmer training
NARS IPM research capacity building
- - Group training on IPM constraints to export trade
- Small grant research to strengthen NARS capacity in IPM technology development
- Degree-related training for human resource development
Work programme 4: Policy environment Output 2004 achievement Emerging issues
Operational environments for IPM development
- - Analyze national institutions, human capacities, tech resources, policies, trade opportunities leading to PMPs (see e.g.)
- Link with WB, FAO, IAPPS to identify & meet needs for PMP development
Compliance with international conventions that are pertinent to IPM
- Consultative workshop on alternatives to banned or restricted POPs in Africa (with UNIDO, IITA, ICIPE, VBC, IBMA, NRI)
- Project proposals on bio-larvicide alternatives to POPs in human health/mosquito control
- Which alternatives to POPs are ready for local production in selected countries?
- Promote IPM solutions to reduce trade & health constraints caused by pesticide residues?
- Promote registration of bio-pesticides in countries/sustainable’ access to options
- Technical assistance to countries on implementation of IPM conventions
- Review IARC projects for consistency with the SP-IPM position on pesticides
Assessing policy-related issues in IPM
- Policy research to quantify: - fate of pesticides/residue analysis- pesticide abuse/health & env. effects- IPM adoption/spread- effectiveness of IPM extension methods
Work programme 5: Awareness/advocacy Output 2004 achievement Emerging issues
Publications and reporting
- IPM research brief #2 on soil biota problems/opportunities
- On-line info database on LMF & nat enemies (on CD)
- Lab/field guide on nematology research drafted
- Progress report to the CGIAR
- Produce SP-IPM illustrated highlights/bi-annual report 2003 & 2004 (in progress)
- Produce research brief #3: “FPR/FPL processes in IPM research and outreach”
- Produce research brief #4: “Search for & promotion of alternatives to hazardous pesticides”
