Biovision Africa Trust Staff Members

The BvAT team of 44 staff is under the leadership of Dr. David Amudavi as the Executive Director. BvAT started off in 2011 with the appointment of Dr. Amudavi as interim director and doubling as the Coordinator of the Farmer Communication Programme (FCP) managed by ICIPE. Dr. Amudavi assumed the role of Executive Director in 2013 and pursued the formal registration of BvAT by certification with the Kenya Government culminating in the legal status in October 2015. The Trust became autonomous from ICIPE’s institutional support from January 2016 but has remained a strategic partner together with the founding organization, Biovision Foundation of Switzerland. In June 2019 BvAT celebrated its 10th anniversary considering its beginning traceable to 2009.
BvAT currently runs 3 main progammes. The  Farmer Communication Program (FCP) in Kenya and Tanzania, The Ecological Organic Agriculture Initiative for Africa  and The Knowledge Center for Organic Agriculture for Eastern Africa
