Must include a section on important changes made Malnutrition and food insecurity remain a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa due to limited access to proteins. Edible insects have been identified to be an inexpensive alternative source of animal protein for human and livestock due to their nutritional value and efficiency in food conversion. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST) is a public chartered academic and research institution in Kenya and has been pioneering research in insect science and technology for food and feed in Western Kenya. The University working in collaboration with regional and international institutions has initiated rearing and value addition of insects for food and feed.; Through ACE II, the University in collaboration with local, regional and international partners proposes to establish the Africa Center of Excellence in Sustainable Use of Insects as Food and Feeds (INSEFOODS) with an overall objective to address challenges of sustainable food security using insects for food and feed.

Despite this optimism of growth, Africa remains the most food insecure continent. Hunger and poverty continue to ravage the continent and the number of people living in extreme poverty is expected to grow. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in its recent Global Hunger Index report (2014) indicate that almost 33% of the population in Africa (close to 200 million people) are undernourished. The hunger situation is projected to worsen over the next two decades unless drastic measures are taken.

In that regard, the coming into force of the Protocol for the Establishment of the EAC Common Market in July 2010 required IUCEA to develop systems that, among others, would enhance students’ mobility and labour across the Partner States, and hence transform the EAC region into a Common Higher Education Area. Approved by the Executive Committee on 6th October 2015 in Kigali, Rwanda.

Facilitation of staff exchange has continued to be one of the main activities of IUCEA since the institution was established in 1970. The Programme aims at strengthening inter-university cooperation through academic mobility and enhancing quality of teaching and research in university institutions in East Africa. It provides university institutions with experts in fields of study that may be lacking in the host university as well as availing opportunity to visiting lecturers to gain experience from the hosting institutions, and hence enhancing their career development.

After having been recognized as the surviving institution of the former EAC (1967 – 1977) responsible for coordinating the networking of university institutions in the region, since the re-establishment of EAC in 1999 IUCEA has assumed a broader role as a building block for the achievement of sustainable socio-economic development and regional integration of the EAC region. In that regard, the current mission of IUCEA focuses on the promotion of strategic and sustainable development of strong higher education systems and research for supporting East Africa’s socio-economic development and regional integration. The goal of IUCEA is to be able to respond to the expectations of the EAC Partner States in terms of higher education institutions producing high-level human resources and research output that can promote and sustain socio-economic development and regional integration.
