Bio
Christopher Mutungi is a Food Scientist by training. Christopher obtained a Doctorate in Food Engineering from Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, in 2011. He has over 15 years of experience in research and training in nutrition, food safety, food processing, and post-harvest management for smallholder systems. His skill set includes research planning and execution; project management (coordination); strategic planning for new research areas; resource mobilization (grants and proposal writing); budgeting and budget monitoring; research staff and student management and supervision; development and monitoring of agreements with partners; reporting; interacting with donors; stakeholder liaison; and knowledge transfer (capacity building, training). Dr. Mutungi has accumulated experience from government and non-government organizations at national and international scales. His latest assignment (2017–2020) was with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) as a Scientist in charge of Food Technology Post-harvest and Nutrition Research in the Eastern Africa Hub (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania). He worked briefly as a Senior Scientist at the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (Nairobi) before joining the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (Nairobi, Kenya) as Visiting Scientist, where he supported nutrition and post-harvest research components of various projects (2012 -2016). He took a post-doctoral position (January-June 2017 ) at the same institution. Dr. Mutungi also lectured at the Department of Dairy and Food Science and Technology, Egerton University (Kenya), from 2014–2017. He has published over 70 research outputs, of which 41 are publications in Thompson-indexed peer-reviewed journals. He has made numerous contributions to local and international conferences and co-authored several extension outputs for community training and capacity development on food and nutrition. Christopher was involved significantly in the implementation of ambitious and highly successful donor-funded R4D projects, including Analytical Review and Synthesis of Post-harvest Losses in Africa (2012–2013 IDRC grant to icipe) as co-implementor; Insect feed for poultry and fish production in sub-Saharan Africa (2014–2017 IDRC/ACIAR grant to icipe and Makerere University) as a third-party investigator; and Reduction of Postharvest Losses and Value Addition in East African Food Value Chains (2012–2017 GIZ grant to icipe and Universities in Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia) as Principal Investigator. His most recent major engagement was with the Africa RISING (Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation) program, a USAID funded initiative implemented by IITA (2011-2021) in partnership with CGIAR centers, National Agricultural Research Systems, and Universities in Eastern/Southern Africa and West Africa. Dr. Mutungi has a passion and strong capacity-building skills and has mentored numerous post-graduate students, research staff, and extension workers. He has the experience and the skills required to work in multi-cultural settings, including working with government agencies, smallholder farmers, extension agents, research organizations, and the private sector. Christopher has won awards for outstanding performance, including DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) fellowship (2007-2011), Grand challenges Canada Stars in Global Health (2012-2014), and IITA (CGIAR) Board of Trustees' Excellence Award for Outstanding Scientific Publication (2018).
