Professional Experience:
My main areas of interest are: yield gap analysis, climate-smart agriculture, participatory action research, crop modelling and spatial analysis, community of practice, capacity development and knowledge sharing, and translational research.
For having born and grown up in a rural area and visited farmers in over 12 countries, I have an excellent knowledge of the livelihoods and challenges of small scale farmers living in the Sub-Saharan Africa. Major achievements include potato varieties released and consumed at commercial scale in various countries, proposals developed, capacity development of national institutions, communities of practice, publications and social networking, negotiated agreements, training-of-trainers, uncounted seminars/workshops, presentations in international conferences, etc.
