ICRISATEast and Southern Africa Overview

  1. Locations ICRISAT - East and Southern Africa Regional Hub – Nairobi, Kenya Country Offices Ethiopia – Addis Ababa Malawi – Lilongwe Zimbabwe – Bulawayo Mozambique – Maputo
  2. Value chain assessment framework – all crops and programs 2 1 For crops includes soil fertilityand soil health (organicand inorganic fertilizers), crop management (herbicides), weed and pest management (insecticides), mechanizationand water management; for livestock includes feed, water and production equipment (e.g., housing, waterers) Inputs and farmer services Post-harvest handling and access to marketsResearch and development Improved genetics & repro- duction Animal genetics systems Other input systems1 Livestock production manage- ment2 Vaccine/ drugs/ diagnostics development Livestock discovery Aggre-gation, quality and storage End-user demand Processing Animal health systems Knowledge exchange Country-level valuechainsteps Crop improve- ment Inputs and farmer services Post-harvest handling and access to marketsResearch and development Discovery Agronomic research Other input systems1 Farm manage- ment2 Seed systems Know- ledge ex- change Aggrega-tion, quality and storage End-user demand Processing Farmer Crops Policiesanddata Multi-value chain national policies Data and data systems Value chain-specific regulations Foundationsof sustainable productivity Environment Nutrition Gender Enabling Environment Infrastructure,transport/logistics Finance & insurance Livestock Country-level valuechainsteps Farmer 8 7 9 23 9 10 23 8 20 25 20 12 8 75 71 43 9 38 42 25 1425 23 2 2 122

  9. LFD- User friendly diagnostic device Aflatoxin detection at field level is crucial to reduce the contamination in value chain. Antibody reacts with aflatoxin antigen giving coloured reaction. This is simple to perform, cost effective (<2$), less time consuming (<5 min) and accurate
  10. ICRISAT LFD ICRISAT LFD Results on Validation of LFD Lateral flow immunoassay Number and % of samples tested for AFB1 in ELISA Positive (above 20 ppb of AFB1) Negative (below 20 ppb of AFB1) Total Positive (above 20 ppb of AFB1) 25 (50.00 %) 0 (0.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) Negative (below 20 ppb of AFB1) 0 (0.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) Total 25 (50.00 %) 25 (50.00 %) 50 (100.00%) The figure in parentheses were computed based on the visual scoring of lateral flow device and quantitative data obtained for ELISA after calculation. The sensitivity of lateral flow device for AFB1 above 20 ppb in samples are 100 %; the specificity is also 100 %. The positive predictive value is 100 %. The negative predictive value is 100 %. Table 1: sensitivity and specificity of lateral flow immunoassay compared to ELISA for detecting above 20 ppb of aflatoxin in groundnut samples
