1. SUMMARY -KEY QUALIFICATIONS An Agricultural Scientist and Professor of Agricultural Entomology with emphasis in Integrated Crop Pest management, Post harvest pest management and Agricultural Technology transfer. I have wide research experience in crop protection systems. My field research incorporates Participatory Rural Approaches (PRA) in the transfer and adaptation of Agricultural Technologies for sustainable agricultural production, including training agricultural agents and farmers in pest recognition and management. I have Knowledge in Project Development, co-ordination, implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation. I have been involved in needs assessment and project planning targeting rural women farmers through women groups. I have implemented many research projects and outreach activities with colleagues from different institutions and disciplines. Most of the projects have supported masters and PhD students. I have published over 80 papers and book chapters and participated in many academic forums. As an administrator and a trainer, I have led and managed a team of over 30 academic staff and 20 technical staff in the disciplines of Plant breeding, Agronomy, Horticulture, Statistics and Mathematics, Entomology, Plant Pathology and Plant Nematology for 8 years as head of Department. The duties also involved budgeting, staff appraisals, strategic planning, and development of curricula and training of undergraduate and postgraduate students, which I performed efficiently. I am a member of several professional associations nationally and internationally. I have served on many committees at different levels of the University of Nairobi. I have good interpersonal relations that have enabled my collaboration in several projects and higher education links. I was instrumental in the start of girl child education programme under Kenya Professional Association of Women in Agriculture and Environment (KEPAWAE) and actively involved in girl child and young women scientist’s mentorship through the organization and the CGIAR Gender and Diversity AWARD Progamme.

This is a second phase of a collaborative programme, between University of Ghent in Belgium, university of Nairobi, KEFRI and BGF.The partnership will continue to join forces to clear off the last technical barriers to achieve massive planting of Melia volkensii, and will be focussed on developing a good rooting system and reducing losses during acclimatisation of elite clones and indigenous hardwood tree that will have a large impact on rural development in Kenyan semi-arid regions. The research will further work on the validation of the insecticidal extract of leaves and fruits. The capacity of the UON in-vitro lab will be further strengthened and the entomology lab of UON will be up-graded. Knowledge transfer regarding in-vitro and biopesticide research will be realized by postgraduate student’s research, (4 Masters and 2 Ph.
