The International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) is a pan-African Centre of excellence
in research for development and capacity building in insect science and its applications. Its mission is to
help alleviate poverty, ensure food and nutritional security, and improve the overall health status of people
in the tropics. It does so by developing and extending management tools and strategies for harmful and
useful arthropods while preserving the natural resource base. Since its establishment in 1970, icipe has
become a significant contributor to science and innovation required to meet the health and food security
challenges of sub-Saharan Africa. The Centre has achieved this status by developing alternative and
environmentally friendly pest and vector management technologies and products that are effective,
selective, non-polluting, non-resistance-inducing, and affordable to resource-limited rural and urban
communities. icipe is headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, and has operations in more than 40 African
countries as well as thriving partnerships with universities and research organizations across the world.
Employing over 500 international and national staff, icipe also has approximately 150 graduate students
who contribute to its research portfolio annually. F
