Item Dataset for: Costing of sweetpotato breeding pipelines by CIP and NARS programs in sub-Sahara Africa, 2024(Dataset, 2025) Makunde, G.S.; Gonzaga, L.; Ssali, R.T.; Yada, B.; Mtonga, A.; Serenje, G.; Odiyo, O.; Musundire, L.Costing breeding program involves running a crop breeding activity, or an entire breeding pipeline, using the prices, costs and salaries from a single year. Market segments or breeding pipelines are costed independently. In 2024, CIP in Uganda and Mozambique as well as NARS programs namely Zambia, Malawi and Uganda costed their breeding programs. Each program costed three pipelines active in their breeding programs, White Flesh, Orange Flesh and Purple Flesh pipelines. Results are available. In addition, costing of the Orange Flesh pipeline is on-going in Mozambique by the NARS program. The White Flesh pipeline has the largest market value followed by the Orange Flesh. Estimating the cost of crop breeding and its associated research activities help breeders make decisions about resource allocation depending on strategy and technology in use. In addition, costing helps in aligning breeding resources with the business market segments.Item Dataset for: On-farm testing of 11 pre-released elite clones in five provinces of Mozambique, 2024(Dataset, 2025) Makunde, G.S.; Gonzaga, L.; Ssali, R.T.; Yada, B.; Mtonga, A.; Serenje, G.; Odiyo, O.; Musundire, L.CIP Mozambique tested 11 pre-released clones under on-farm for multi-stakeholder validation across five provinces (Niassa, Nampula, Zambezia, Manica and Inhambane) ensuring representation of diverse environments and farmer conditions. Five districts were selected in each province for on-farm trialing and a total of 170 farmers successfully established the trials. The TRICOT design was the experimental design of choice. Most agricultural actors, including farmers, extension officers and other local government representatives were involved in the setting up of trials and their assessment. Farmer and other stakeholders feedback on performance clones will be utilized and incorporated into decisions of variety release and genetic gains in farmers’ fields will be calculated. The validation system strengthened the selection and adoption of new varieties, integrating farmer needs and gender considerations into breeding advancements.
