Applying Spatial Technologies for: Priority
setting; targeting; and improved decision making
The GIS group is part of the Impacts, Targeting
& Assessment Unit (ITAU), but works with all CIMMYT programs.
Key areas of work include:

status, likely migration and strategies to mitigate the
threat to wheat production from race Ug99 (TTKS) of stem
rust pathogen
