The 7th Annual Sweetpotato for Profit and Health Initiative (SPHI) Technical Meeting and associated Project Advisory Committee (PAC) and SPHI Steering Committee (SSC) meetings will be held on 7-8th October 2016 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  The SPHI meeting has been aligned with the 10th Triennial African Potato Association (APA) meeting that begins on 9th October to permit sweetpotato researchers to attend both meetings.  The SPHI and APA will jointly hold an exhibition beginning 9th October that will last the duration of the APA meeting.  The research findings concerning sweetpotato that normally would be presented at the SPHI meeting will now be presented as a part of the APA meeting 10-12th October if abstracts have been accepted for oral or poster presentations.  This will be followed by field trips within Ethiopia on the 13-14th October.  For   further information, contact Tassy Kariuki (t.kariuki@cgiar.org).
