Bio-Innovate has adopted this concept in conducting its capacity building activities. The Program is supporting both MSc and PhD students whose outputs are directly linked to specific project activities. Scientists are sent out for short-term attachments to specialized laboratories outside their countries to acquire specific skills required in delivering particular project components. This ensures that the scientist acquire skills but at the same time generates data that contributes to the development of innovations and execution of a project. It also counters the ever-increasing brain drain, satisfying the skills versus competency gaps, and equipping scientists from developing countries with the requisite skills to provide solutions to the continent’s development challenges.

One such capacity building initiative involves the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) Nairobi, a partner in project consortium 1 ‘delivering new sorghum and finger millet innovations for food security and improving livelihoods in eastern Africa’. ICRISAT hosted three students from Ethiopia (Dagnachew Lule, PhD student), Tanzania, (Ismail Mohamed, MSc) and Uganda (Isaac Dramadri, MSc) in March-June in 2012. The students received hands on skills on DNA extraction; Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping using 20 simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers and allele scoring as well as data analysis for sorghum varieties diversity assessment for project 1. The students further authored publications on finger millet genetic diversity for their respective countries.

The three students also participated in a two-week training course on “the application of molecular markers in crop improvement” from 29 May to 6 June 2012 organized by the CAPACITATE East Africa project and conducted by ICRISAT at the Biosciences eastern and central Africa-International Livestock Research Institute (BecA-ILRI) Hub in Nairobi. The course was a plus for the students for it complemented the experience gained during the three months with extensive theoretical and practical training on all aspects of the application of molecular markers in crop improvement. The students are now sufficiently equipped to use this technology within their own institutions in their home countries as well as support research activities in the region.

They were also able to establish strong collaborative ties within the Bio-Innovate project, which should facilitate future regional collaborations, within and beyond the Bio-Innovate projects. Santie Devilliers a scientist with ICRISAT-Nairobi and a co-principal investigator in project 1 supervised these students. “Training these regional scientists in ICRISAT’s laboratories, provided them with international standard training in research methodologies an DNA extraction and related technologies. I believe that this type of training that also supported interaction amongst scientists from different countries and institutions lays the foundation for enhanced scientific networking and research capacity for future regional collaborations,” Santie articulated.

Another beneficiary of the capacity building activities within the Program was Adey Desta, a PhD student from Addis Ababa University (AAU-Ethiopia). Adey was at BecA-ILRI Hub from February to May, 2012. Her research focused on the use of DNA based techniques in investigating microorganisms useful in the treatment of agro-industrial wastewater at Modjo Tannery under project 5 on ‘integrated process for sustainable agro-process waste treatment and climate change mitigation in eastern Africa’. In her research, she has identified the presence of 31 bacterial phylotypes in the anaerobic and aerobic reactors and the constructed wetland system at the Modo Tannery. These microorganisms have been associated with the removal of organics, nutrients (N and P), sulphide and degradation of aromatic compounds found in the tannery’s wastewater. These findings will help the project design strategies that will harness these microbial communities to optimize and efficiently remove the pollutants in the wastewater before being release into the Modjo River.

This morning the program’s first gathering of its constituent scientific projects started in Addis Ababa. The three-day event was opened by Theresa Sengooba and aims to share the successes and challenges of implementing Bio-Innovate’s activities in the eastern Africa region.

The program provides a regional, broad-based biosciences innovations platform that links science and technology to the market to address priority regional development challenges. It works through nine bioscience innovation and policy consortia projects to mobilize available science and research findings in the region that are then channeled to increase crop productivity and adaptation to climate change; management of agro-industrial wastes for environmental sustainability and promotion of traditional crops through value addition.

After the official opening, plenary sessions discussed public-private innovations in the program and gave space for networking among participants. In the morning, Program Manager Seyoum Leta explained how Bio-innovate is delivering biosciences innovations to the marketplace, Julius Ecuru from Uganda elaborated on biosciences innovation systems in East Africa, Adolf Olomi from a private company in Tanzania explained how an innovative collaboration between his company and a local university fostered technology diffusion to benefit both his company and the local community. Finally Denis Kyetere explained how the African Agricultural Technology Foundation catalyzes public-private partnership to make technologies more accessible to farmers. The afternoon panel looked at approaches to applying and integrating biosciences innovations in the socio-economic development of Africa.

It is known that the eastern Africa region is plagued by perpetual food insecurity challenges influenced by outdated agricultural practices, overreliance on rain-fed agriculture, lack of an effective mechanism to disseminate new technologies to the farmers, and more recently unpredictable weather patterns due to the effects of climate change among other impediments. On the other hand the industrial sector has been accused of exacerbating the climate change problem by contributing to environmental degradation by not managing their waste effectively therefore contributing to greenhouse gases. This waste if well managed could be a useful source of bio-energy. These challenges are compounded by weak policies in the region.

The lack of an enabling policy environment to support the diffusion and integration of bioscience innovations developed by scientists into the productive sectors in the region is a major obstacle to development. The goal of Bio-Innovate’s consortium on policy, ‘Bioscience Innovation Policy Consortium for Eastern Africa (BIPCEA)’, is to examine and recommend effective policy support mechanisms at national and regional level, which will enable Bio-Innovate Program’s consortia projects to successfully deliver innovations to the marketplace to solve specific problems in the agricultural and environmental sectors. In the long term, the consortium envisages a vibrant bio-economy in eastern Africa, a dynamic regional bioscience innovation platform for dialogue, advocacy and information exchange increased commercialization of biosciences innovations developed by scientists in the region.

To assess the progress made by BIPCEA, the Bio-Innovate’s Program Management Team (PMT) conducted a monitoring and review meeting in Bagamoyo, Tanzania on 15-16 January 2013. Project partners present were Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST), Kenya National Council for Science and Technology (KNCST); Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH); Ministry of Science and Technology, Ethiopia (MoST); Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia (AAU), African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS), International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) AfriCenter); Stockholm Environment Institute, Sweden (SEI) and University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (UDSM).

The principal investigator, Julius Ecuru, made an overall presentation on the achievements of the consortium thus far highlighting progress made viz-a-viz the log frame. This was followed by individual presentations from each of the partners. In their first objective on ‘identifying and analyzing policy issues essential for moving bio-innovations to market’ the team is reviewing national science, technology and innovation policies in the eastern Africa region taking all Bio-innovate projects as case studies. In an approach to ‘creating a platform for interaction and exchange of ideas on bioscience innovations & bio-policies in East Africa’, the team is the process of mapping out Bio-Innovate stakeholders, and is planning to hold a number of policy round-table and partnership meetings in Bio-Innovate participating countries. The consortium is also facilitating media coverage on key Bio-Innovate projects’ events. With a view of providing policy support tools for biosciences innovations & related activities in EA’, the consortium has developed a training manual on entrepreneurship for Bio-Innovate, trained 150 scientists in entrepreneurship skills, 80 Bio-Innovate scientists on Intellectual Property (IP) management, and 100 scientists on science communication skills. To facilitate IP management in the respective Bio-innovate implementing partner institutions, Bio-Innovate lab notebooks have been printed and distributed to all the project teams.

The general impression by the PMO is that there has been good progress. However there was a noticeable lag in timelines, which according to the team was occasioned by delays in the commencement of the project as partners fulfill institutional requirements. In giving feedback, Allan Liavoga from the PMT advised the consortium to accelerate the implementation to make up for lost time. In addition, the team was informed to identify what could practically be achieved in the remaining implementation period and focus on it. This will require the revision of their work plans and budgets to channel resources to these activities.

Allan also indicated that the quality of the presentations and reports received from the consortium thus far were lacking in concrete data and therefore needed to improve. The PMT indicated that what is expected from the group is clearly articulated data rich publications from their current work. The consortium plans on producing a flagship publication titled ‘Towards a Bio-economy in Eastern Africa’ the first publication of its kind that will offer a comprehensive view of the current status and environment of science, technology and innovations (STI) in eastern Africa and a pathway to the region achieving a bio-economy.

The PMT advised BIPCEA to return to the drawing board and evaluate critically their outreach activities and develop an effective method of track the outcomes of these outputs to ensure the envisaged impact from the project is achieved. In addition, the BIPCEA team was advised to bring on board Rwanda and Burundi, as the only two countries missing to complete the picture on STI in the eastern Africa region.

As part of the monitoring and review exercise for Bio-Innovate projects conducted between May and October 2012, the Bio-Innovate Program Management Team (PMT) traveled to Kampala, Uganda on 29-30 October to review implementation progress made by project 6 on ‘use of biosciences for value addition and diversification to enhance commercialization of sorghum and millet products in eastern Africa’. The project focuses on use of bioscience for value addition, diversification, and commercialization of sorghum and millet products. In attendance were the project leader, Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), co-principal investigator, Makerere University (MAK), Co-PI, Hawassa University (HU), one each industrial collaborator fromMorogoro Ben’s Winery in Tanzania, Lisha Products Ltd. Uganda, Addilo Complementary Foods Process Unit Ethiopia, as well as the PMT, and Victor Konde representing the technical advisory committee.

With the focus on value addition for millet and sorghum grains the consortium will deliver high quality sorghum malt flour (HQMF), clear malt drink (CMD), malted extruded instant flour (MEIF), sorghum flakes (SF) and sorghum snacks (SS). In addition to these products, the consortium plans to promote best practices along the sorghum and finger millet value chains, enhance capacity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in supply of quality sorghum and millet grain, malting processes and extrusion technology, and dissemination of technology for commercial production of high quality millet and sorghum products.

The project falls under the “innovation incubation and promotion of targeted value chain” thematic area of the Program and the PMT was interested in assessing the incubation system at the Department of Food Technology and Nutrition of Makerere University. The University has set up an incubation center that is nurturing several start-up small-scale food processing enterprises. One such enterprise is Lisha Products Limited in Uganda who is interested in industrial commercialization of value added products from sorghum and millet grains. The Department of Food Science and Technology at Makerere University in collaboration with Lisha Products has so far developed several Bio-Innovate branded products including malted non-alcoholic drinks and ready to eat sorghum and millet extruded snacks. These products are later sold to the larger university community. Lisha Products is using this opportunity to evaluate the acceptability, quality, and safety of these products and refine them further before full-scale commercialization.

The group also took the opportunity to visit Peak Value Limited a food-processing factory that produces sorghum and millet products. Peak Value Limited is collaborating with the consortium to provide extrusion facilities for the production of some of the products produced by Lisha Products Ltd. In turn, the consortium through the co-principal investigator, Yusuf Byaruhanga, is providing food processing technical assistance to the factory. Peak Value Ltd is interested in taking up sorghum and millet value addition innovation technologies developed by the consortium. This symbiotic relationship embodies the Bio-Innovate Program core objective of creating innovation platforms through partnerships that are aimed at delivering innovations to end users.

The consortium is making commendable progress but equipment procurement delays have greatly impeded their progress. This coupled with other institutional challenges has impaired overall progress made by the consortium with original timelines severely compromised.In view of these difficulties, Seyoum Leta, Program Manager, advised the consortium to closely work with the Program Management Office (PMO) in the future when acquiring equipment and especially when procuring from international suppliers.

Assessing the progress of the consortium, Seyoum advised the partners to immediately review the consortium logical framework matrix (LFM) and works plans and make appropriate adjustments to align timelines that reflect what is achievable in the remaining time of the three-year project. In addition, Seyoum requested that the consortium technical project reports should accurately outline results and milestones achieved in reference to the LFM. When reporting in the next reporting period, the consortium’s technical progress report should indicate clearly the private sector role and involvement as their participation in the consortium is crucial in the uptake of the commercialization of the value added products.

The project partners met for a monitoring and review meeting in Arusha, Tanzania from 5-6 September 2012. Present during the meeting were Makerere University (MAK-Uganda), Addis Ababa University (AAU-Ethiopia), University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM-Tanzania), Banana Investment Ltd. (Tanzania), AGENDA/ENVICON (Tanzania), the Bio-Innovate Program Management Team (PMT) and a technical advisory committee (TAC) representative.

During the meeting, the consortium gave detailed technical presentations on the progress of their implementation activities.In ‘developing and optimizing biogas production and water/nutrient reuse for enhanced industrial and agricultural productivity in eastern Africa’, the consortium has so far finalized the design works for the biogas systems in the three countries; identified contractors in Ethiopia; and constructed wetlands and upgraded existing ones, installed biogas digesters, gas holding tanks and distribution systems in Tanzania and Uganda.

On ‘evaluation and dissemination of the social and environmental benefits of the integrated wastewater treatment bioprocesses’ activities, the consortium has conducted baseline studies on environment and social benefits in the project areas. They have identified and analyzed stakeholders for the integrated process, and are currently producing a pre-project documentary that will help inform audiences interested in this kind of project.

On ‘strengthening capacity to sustainably manage agro-process wastewater in eastern Africa’ the team is training students, research assistants and operators. They will also establish monitoring indicators and protocol as well as establishing laboratory facilities to undertake test on the biogas produced. The team will later on publish a number of scientific papers in reputable international journals.

Karin Tonderski the TAC representative while giving her assessment of the consortium’s progress noted that although the progress of the implementation activities was good, some targets for 2012 were yet to be fulfilled. The delay in construction of key installations is affecting the timely delivery of project outputs, as many of the research activities are dependent on these facilities. “Focus on activities that can be delivered by 2013,” Karin recommended. Karin further advised that the team analyze the cost efficiency of the integrated systems they were constructing and identify challenges early enough.

Seyoum Leta, the Program Manager, noted that overall the consortium’s progress was encouraging with all systems in place. “If the technologies from this consortium prove to be technically and economically viable, Project 5 will be Bio-Innovate’s model project that demonstrates how to form partnerships between the public, private and NGO sectors as well as end users to develop innovations that solve social and environmental problems in the region,” Seyoum stated. He urged the consortium to plan and make adjustments to cover for the lost time in 2011 occasioned by procurement delays. In addition, Seyoum advised the team to create a risk mitigation plan.

The Program manager also advised the team in reporting results, to avoid generic and qualitative submissions. “The technical report from the consortium should be well analyzed and synthesized with clear pictures of the overall progress made,” he specified. On adherence to financial procedures, the project leaders were advised to comply with the standard operating manual (SOP) and always work with their financial officers while compiling and submitting financial reports to the program management office.

Project consortium 4 is one of the nine Bio-Innovate consortia projects whose aim is to create innovative technologies that will produce mushrooms and bio-energy from coffee and sisal processing wastes while reducing environmental pollution in eastern Africa. At the end of the project, some of notable envisaged outcomes include:
Innovative protocols for processing of sisal and coffee waste for cultivation of oyster mushrooms – translated into a joint handbook produced in three local languages
Demonstration of pilot-scale operation of biogas reactors using spent mushroom substratesco-digested with manure
Estimated market demand for mushrooms with logistical constrains identified
Cost-efficiency study for the biogas production and  the mushroom cultivation processes as part of the ‘techno-economic feasibility’
Sustained operation of pilot-scale mushroom cultivation and reactor for biogas production from sisal and coffee industrial waste through training of company staff and provision of operational manuals
Regional analysis of the resource value of different waste streams from the sisal and coffee industries, including critical evaluation of economics and of possible technical problems with the different waste types.

On 3-4 September 2012, consortium project 4 on ‘sustainable utilization of agro-industrial wastes through integration of bio-energy and mushroom production’ partners held a monitoring and review meeting in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Present at the meeting were consortium partners from the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM-Tanzania), Pwani University College (PUC-Kenya), Addis Ababa University (AAU-Ethiopia), Bio-Innovate Program Management Team (PMT) and a technical advisory committee (TAC) representative.

This forum gave the project consortium team, the PMT, and the TAC representative the opportunity to review progress made thus far. The consortium team gave a comprehensive presentation on their progress, successes and challenges in implementing project activities. So far the team has completed the optimization of coffee and sisal waste substrate to be used in growing oyster mushrooms. They are further analyzing the quantity and quality of biogas generated from spent mushroom substrates from coffee waste, sisal post-harvest waste (SPHW) and sisal leaf decortications waste (SLDW) at laboratory scale operations. The team is also optimizing biogas production using blends of spent substrates and investigating the use of single stirred tank (single stage) and two-stage bioreactors for the biogas production. Working with private sector partners in the consortium, Pwani University College (PUC) has already signed an agreement with Kilifi Plantations, Kenya and the construction of a biogas plant has already commenced, while the Ethiopian and Tanzanian project teams are working on memorandum of understanding between partners in both countries.

The consortium has ventured into new research areas in bio-energy and as such they will be publishing a number of scientific publications in selected international journals.  One such joint consortium publication comparing the suitability of the sisal and coffee substrates for mushroom cultivation and biogas generation is envisaged to be ready by 2014. The team plans to also publish handbooks from the component project activities being implemented by October 2013.

Presenting her assessment of the project, Karin Toderski noted that the team was on track despite considerable delays caused by lengthy procurement and administrative procedures. In evaluating the integration and value of the project to the region, Karin noted that the consortium was doing well with the planned joint dissemination of their results in an agro-industrial waste-processing handbook the planned workshops on mushroom cultivation.

(photo credit: Bio-Innovate-ILRI/Albert Mwangi).

Karin advised the consortium to ensure that the technologies developed are transferred to the private companies for both the mushroom cultivation and biogas production to ensure sustainability after the end of the project. In addition, the consortium was advised to ensure that the engineering and experience of sustainable waste management and resource recovery knowledge is nurtured and disseminated within partner institutions for future capacity building. It was agreed that the partners adjust their activity implementation plans to focus on what is achievable by end of 2013.

Seyoum Leta, the Program Manager, in his feedback to the team noted that the regional aspect of the consortium was evident from the cross exchange of experiences but there were gaps in the execution of set objectives. He lauded the commitment of the partners and the efforts by the principal investigator to create cohesion in the consortium.  The team was encouraged to formulate a risk management plan to overcome the institutional challenges that was impeding their progress.

As a way forward, Seyoum advised the team to review their activity plans, further enhance cohesion within the team, and institute measures to counter risks brought about by the lengthy institutional and procurement challenges. He urged the consortium to comply with financial guidelines as stipulated in the standard operation procedure manual to allow for the next trench of funds to be released. On the bi-annual technical progress reports, Seyoum advised that the reports should clearly articulate results, milestones and achievements.
