This guide was required by CIAT Africa office as a tool for Bean Integrated Pest Management (IPM) dissemination with smallholder farmers in the region.  It is intended to be used by implementers of integrated development projects interested in community mobilization and action for change.  This guide draws lessons and experiences from community action bean pest management activities that initially focused on common bean pests in smallholder farmers’ production systems in eastern and southern Africa.

We hope that this guide is able to provide you with ideas on community approach for IPM practice and technology adoption.
