Since 2011, the project focused on five districts in Eastern Province (Chipata, Katete, Lundazi, Nyimba, Petauke) and one district in Central Province, Kapiri-Mposhi, known for sweetpotato production that feeds into the Lusaka (the capital of Zambia) market.  The project was hosted by ZARI’s Msekera research station in Chipata, Zambia.
