Program components

Phase 2 (2010-2014) - Project components of the Central Asia IPM Project

IPM packages will be developed through integrating existing pest management practices with new technologies developed through collaborative research and links with IPM CSRP global theme and regional programs. For each crop (tomatoes, potatoes, wheat), IPM pilot sites will be established for collaborative research, training and demonstration. These pilot sites will be linked to Farmer Field Schools (FFS) to disseminate findings to local farmers. As part of the training and capacity building strategy, over a five-year period, the project will train at least 20 graduate students, and provide opportunities to more than 200 IPM professionals from the region to attend various training programs, workshops, seminars and short courses with due consideration of gender balance. View the conceptual framework for developing and delivering the new program components in Central Asia.

Work plans: Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3

Partners
Partners at the June 2009 regional IPM CRSP forum in Bishkek,
Kyrgyzstan, helped identify the crops for the Project's new components.

Expertise for each crop component will be based in one country and then shared throughout the region.
