Annual Report 2012 CIP’s Contribution to the Global Agenda: Economic Development Social Inclusion Environmental Sustainability International Potato Center International Potato Center • Annual Report 2012 1 The International Potato Center (known by its Spanish acronym CIP) is a research-for-development organization with a focus on potato, sweetpotato, and Andean roots and tubers. CIP is dedicated to delivering sustainable science-based solutions to the pressing world issues of hunger, poverty, gender equity, climate change and the preservation of our Earth’s fragile biodiversity and natural resources. Our vision is roots and tubers improving the lives of the poor. Our mission is to work with partners to achieve food security, well-being, and gender equity for poor people in root and tuber farming and food systems in the developing world. We do this through research and innovation in science, technology, and capacity strengthening. 2 International Potato Center • Annual Report 2012 Vision and Mission Stories 9 2 Publications 2 Vision and mission Economic Development11 41 5 Statement by the 12 Facing up to sweetpotato viruses 42 Journal articles board chair in Africa 47 Books, Book chapters, 6 Foreword from the 14 Improving potato production in conference papers director general Peru 17 Sweetpotato at London Olympics 2012 57 CIP in 2012 18 Promoting a participatory market chain approach 58 Financial report 20 CIP project wins prestigious 60 Donors agricultural award in Uruguay 61 Global offi ces 21 Biofortifi cation of the potato 64 Executive committee 65 CIP’s internal structure Social Inclusion 23 66 Staff list 24 Improving incomes and gender 74 CGIAR centers equality in southern Bangladesh 26 The dynamic conservation of native potato 29 Sweetening social inclusion in Rwanda with a sweetpotato project Environmental Sustainability 33 34 Sustainable potato production and climate change 36 The dual purpose sweetpotato 38 Applying environmental sustainability practices at CIP International Potato Center • Annual Report 2012 3 From left to right: Dr. Arturo Flórez, Dr. Bir Pal Singh, Dr. Rodney Cooke, Dr. Pamela Anderson, Dr. Peter VanderZaag, Ms. Phyllis Kibui, Dr. Simon Best, Dr. Stella Williams, Eng.

The International Potato Center (CIP) has seen steady programmatic and fi nancial growth in Dr. Peter recent years and 2012 continued this trend. VanderZaag The year’s highlight was taking the lead in implementing the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas. CIP is the lead Center in this new and exciting research program and is joined by three other CGIAR partner centers: International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), and Bioversity International. CIP is also working in a total of seven other CGIAR Research Programs (CRP): Agriculture for Nutrition and Health, Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security, Dryland Systems, Managing and Sustaining Crop Collections, Integrated System for the Humid Tropics, and Policies and Institutions and Markets. These new CGIAR Research Programs also allow CIP to expand its research programs to continue playing an important role in improving potato and sweetpotato production systems and the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. Financial indicators for CIP refl ect sound fi nancial stewardship. At the end of 2012 CIP showed year- on-year growth over the previous year. Moreover, CIP continued to implement streamlined and transparent administrative processes to be more accountable to stakeholders. On behalf of the board, I would like to thank CIP’s donors, investors, and all CGIAR partners for their support. I also extend my appreciation to CIP’s management and staff for their continued dedication to the organization and its important mission. Dr. Peter VanderZaag Chair, Board of Trustees International Potato Center • Annual Report 2012 5 Foreword from the Director General In 2015 the world will assess the success of the Millennium Development Goals. These United Nations goals set in 2000 Dr. Pamela K. were a framework designed to help more than a billion Anderson people rise out of extreme poverty. In 2002, CIP aligned its vision with the Millennium Development Goals on Poverty, Hunger, Child and Maternal Mortality, Sustainability, Slum Dwellers, Least Developed Countries, and New Agricultural Technologies. These areas became the foundation upon which we developed our research for development activities. At the time, World Food Prize Laureate Pedro Sanchez noted that “CIP has taken leadership in assessing and realigning its program to meet the Millennium Development Goals, setting an example that can be followed by other Centers in the System”. We should take pride in our decision to align with the Millennium Development Goals but in doing so recognize that the factors underlying our decision were based in the fi rm understanding that our research will only remain relevant if it delivers the results required for the time. Today the world is focusing on Sustainable Development Goals. These include Economic Development, Social Inclusion, Environmental Sustainability, and Good Governance. The stories in this report demonstrate how CIP’s research aligns with, and will continue to contribute to, the post- 2015 global agenda that is emerging. You will discover how CIP’s work on sweetpotato viruses has helped economic development in Africa and how CIP research is focused on improving incomes and gender equality in Bangladesh. You will also read how CIP scientist Roberto Quiroz has mapped 66 International Potato Center • Annual Report 2012 climate change to mitigate the impact of pests and disease and plan for future sustainable potato production, while on CIP’s Lima campus plumber Juan Palomino devised an innovative way to reduce our water consumption to improve our environmental sustainability. These stories and our success in building a smarter, stronger CIP governance structure reassure me that CIP has done well to align with the Sustainable Development Goals and deliver a more food-secure world. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our stakeholders, from the Heads of State, business leaders, and donors to the individual extension workers, laboratory technicians, and smallholder farmers who motivate and support us. We are also are grateful to the donors, policymakers, and other key partners who have challenged us. I would also like to recognize all of the researchers, staff , advisors, and leaders who have accepted the challenge to make the world more food-secure. We look forward to continuing our work together through another year and advance CIP’s vision of roots and tubers improving the lives of the poor. Pamela K.

In response to the serious threat that climate change poses to potato production, CIP has developed tools to threat to potato production in the form of assess probable impacts.

However, in developing countries such as Peru, where the weather station network is quite limited and the mountainous terrain results in microclimates, traditional climate change modeling is unfeasible. Quiroz and the team from CIP consequently used a groundbreaking approach to develop models using remote sensing and mathematical tools to obtain and generate daily weather data for complex landscapes where conventional linear corrections have failed. While this approach produced accurate models for potato growth, it also holds huge potential for application for climate change study in general. In Peru, farmers cope with frequent droughts, frosts, hailstorms or excess rainfall by planting an assortment of potato varieties and landraces.
