| Description: | In 1991, Kenya demonstrated its support for the work of IPGRI and its predecessor IBPGR by being one of the first five countries to sign the Establishment Agreement that gave the Institute independent status. Close contacts are maintained with Kenya’s national plant genetic resources programme through the IPGRI Regional Office for Sub-Saharan Africa, which was established in Nairobi in 1982. Within Kenya, a large number of institutions are concerned with the conservation and use of plant genetic resources, ranging from the National Genebank of Kenya (GBK), National Museums of Kenya (NMK), Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI), and the University of Nairobi to numerous NGOs. Many of these, particularly the GBK, act as IPGRI’s partners in research programmes, and in organizing and running training courses, seminars and workshops at both national and regional levels. |
