Decentralized vine multipliers (DVMs) have sold vines worth US $411,529. Farmers have sold sweetpotato roots worth US $114,250. It is estimated that the beneficiaries reached by the project have produced and consumed 14,296 tons of OFSP roots.Item The Feed the Future Rwanda Orange-fleshed Sweetpotato (OFSP) for Income and Nutrition Activity(Brief, 2017-10) International Potato CenterAt the end of its second year, this going-to-scale project in 10 districts of Rwanda has directly reached over 125,000 households with OFSP. DVMs have sold vines worth US $300,747. Roots producers have sold sweetpotato roots worth US $99,984 and households have consumed 7,495 tons of OFSP roots.Item OFSP Takes Off as Part of the New Accelerated Value Chain Development Program in Kenya(Brief, 2016-10) International Potato CenterDuring the first 11 months of this program, we have reached over 9,000 households with OFSP planting material. The total vine multiplication area under Decentralized Vine Multipliers has increased to 6.2 hectares. We have trained 772 health workers and they have started reaching out to child care givers and pregnant mothers to improve infant and young child feeding practices.Item Sweetpotato support platforms to build a community of practice(Brief, 2012-08) International Potato CenterThree Sweetpotato Support Platforms (SSPs), located in Eastern, Southern, and West Africa are developing tools and strategies for sharing information and efficiencies to create a dynamic and cost-effective community of practice among researchers and development agents across multiple disciplines and countries. Through the Reaching Agents of Change (RAC) project, launched in June 2011, they also aim to raise the profile of vitamin A-rich sweetpotato through advocacy and build capacity among partners to effectively implement Sweetpotato-based development efforts.Item Orange-fleshed sweetpotato is a critical component of the Kenya Accelerated Value Chain Development (AVCD) Program(Brief, 2017-10) International Potato CenterAt the end its second year, 47 decentralized vine multipliers are operational and a total of 36,313 households have been reached with structured nutrition education that integrates essential messages for Maternal and Infant and Young Child Nutrition. Progress has been made in initiating fresh root and processed product value chains.Item Feed the Future Malawi Improved Seed Systems and Technologies (MISST) Project: Orange-fleshed Sweetpotato Component(Brief, 2017-10) International Potato CenterAt the end of its third year, the project enabled over 48,000 households to produce and consume pro-vitamin A rich orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties. We have built the capacity of private sector, government and NGO’s to scale out OFSP technologies for the betterment of smallholder farmers in Malawi.Item One million hectares world wide - Varietal change in potatoes and the contribution of the International Potato Center(Brief, 2009-10) International Potato CenterOver 1 million hectares are planted worldwide with potato varieties bred by or obtained through the International Potato Center (known by its Spanish acronym CIP). According to a 2007 survey of 23 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the area planted with CIP-related material in those countries has increased from 6,4 percent to 13.1 percent in the last decade. This important milestone has come more than ten years earlier than was predicted in the best case scenario envisioned in 1997 and represents a 150 percent increase in area covered. In terms returns on investment in CIP breeding, the current adoption area implies a rate of return of approximately 20 percent per one dollar invested, and a net present value of discounted net benefits of more than USS121 million.Item Reaching Agents of Change (RAC) Project(Brief, 2013-08) International Potato CenterThrough its advocacy efforts since 2011, RAC has generated new investments for promoting orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) worth 11.4 million USD. RAC has also built institutional capacity to design and implement gender-sensitive projects to ensure wide access and utilization of vitamin A rich OFSP in five selected African countries (Mozambique, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana, and Burkina Faso).
