Purpose
Establishment of the
regional plant disease diagnostic clinic networks empowers rural individuals by
giving communities their own capability to accurately diagnose plant diseases.
Objectives
- Create regional systems with the technical capacity to diagnose plant
diseases in three participating regions, beginning with “hub” laboratories
in one country per region, progressing to “spoke” laboratories in nearby
countries within the region.
- Develop a communication and data networking system that details pathogen
distribution, diagnosis and IPM options and links target countries to each
other and to experts in the U.S. and elsewhere.
- Develop and carry out comprehensive training programs to increase
diagnostic capacity within host country institutions for phytosanitary and
IPM applications.
- Develop/adapt biotechnology-based diagnostic tests and protocols to meet
the needs of regional IPM CRSP programs, USAID Missions and/or other donors.
