Hannah Jaenicke is a versatile researcher-cum-manager having spent considerable time of her 18-year career in research as a plant physiologist, as well as having gained solid research management experience with DFID's Forestry Research Programme. With a first degree in plant breeding, a doctorate in tree physiology and a subsequent career in international development and agroforestry, Hannah combines academic and development expertise with a focus on alleviating poverty. More recently, Hannah has taken a keen interest in the role of forestry and watershed management in mitigating climate change and supporting poor people through payment schemes for environmental services.
Hannah has great interest in the training and mentoring of younger staff, and a keen eye for communication of research results. She is a member of several evaluation panels for project proposals, notably the European Commission's Framework Programme 6, the International Foundation for Science (IFS), and the CGIAR's Challenge Programme Water and Food. Hannah speaks German, English and Spanish and has field experience in Brazil, Cameroon, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Malawi, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Peru, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Hannah joined IWMI as the Director of the International Centre for Underutilised Crops (ICUC), hosted by IWMI, in October 2005. In June 2009 she took office as the Global Coordinator of Crops for the Future, a new organisation evolved from ICUC and the Global Facilitation Unit for Underutilized Species. |
