Facilities included an equipment fabrication workshop, a cassava processing center, and offices.\n
\n\n\"New<\/a>\n

New cassava processing facilities in Kwembe, Tanzania.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nThe construction of the buildings, which are on land donated by the Government of Tanzania to IITA in Kwembe, about 30 km from Dar es Salaam, was funded by the Support to Agricultural Research for Development of Strategic Crops in Africa (SARD-SC) project. This is a multinational, CGIAR-led project, funded by the African Development Bank and led by IITA.\n\nThe buildings are part of the project\u2019s efforts to support the generation of agricultural technology and innovations through the construction of improved facilities that support efficient dissemination of postharvest cassava processing technologies to the farming communities.\n\nOn hand to receive the building was Edward Kanju, a senior Scientist at IITA-Tanzania on behalf of the IITA Director for the Eastern Africa hub, Victor Manyong.\n\nAlso present at the event was Veronica Uzokwe, the Country Coordinator of the IITA\/SARD-SC project. Uzokwe emphasized that the center would go a long way in supporting IITA\u2019s efforts to disseminate cassava postharvest innovation\/technologies and value addition. This in turn is expected to contribute to improving food security to overcome hunger, improve livelihoods, and lift the country out of poverty.\n\nShe said the training center will bring together stakeholders from across the country for theoretical and practical lessons on postharvest cassava processing technologies.\n\n\u201cThe project is complete and ready to operate; we hope that IITA will get more funds for operational efficiency,\u201d said Uzokwe.\n\nAccording to Bakari Abdallah, IITA\/SARD-SC Research Assistant, the project has purchased improved cassava postharvest processing machines that will be installed soon.\n\n\u201cWe have already purchased equipment such as a hammer mill, fryers, hydraulic presses, and peeling and chipping machines ready for installation in the cassava processing building. The machines will speed up the processing of high quality cassava products compared to local technologies.\u201d said Bakari.\n\nOthers present at the handing over ceremony were Zulfawu Yahaya, IITA\/SARD-SC Procurement Specialist; Clare Ruhweza, IITA Regional Maintenance Officer; Gilbert Kimboka, Assistant Maintenance Officer at IITA-Tanzania; Davis Mwakanyamale, SARD-SC Country Supervisor; and Onugbolu Onyekachi, a consultant Quantity Surveyor from IITA-Ibadan, Nigeria.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
