The outputs of the PM activities are inputs into a Results Based Management (RBM) system whose medium-term outcomes are sustainable social and economic development and growth and long-term impacts are improvement in Quality of Life. Francis acquired knowledge and experience in electrical power systems in eastern and southern African countries over a period of four decades. He has concluded that the Old Way of thinking, which focuses on self-interests, is the root cause of the extreme poverty and hunger, poor health and education and learning, environmental degradation, economic stagnation and low levels of energy access on the African continent. He is now working on a New Way of thinking that promotes critical thinking, nurtures leadership and embraces the flow of energy and information, the most critical ingredients for social and economic development and growth, from points of origin to the points of utilisation to meet the requirements of users, also known as Energy and Information Logistics (EiL). The New Way thinking and analysis of the energy performance of electrical power systems is based on an energy losses reduction methodology approved by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Francis Masawi is a holder of an Honours Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Zimbabwe with particular focus in Electronics and Power Systems.

Dr Ephrame Havazvidi is a Legendary Wheat Breeder and Seed Production Technology Research Pioneer and Specialist in Seed Co Group. He is a Plant Breeding Strategist under climate change induced stress scenarios. Dr Ephrame Havazvidi is a member of the Wheat \u2013Independent Steering Committee of CGIAR CIMMYT with Head Quarters in Mexico. He represents Sub Saharan Africa in this position .<\/p>\n<p>Dr Ephrame Havazvidi showed astute leadership in directing the Research and Development Function of Seed Co Group by recruiting , mentoring and training a coherent Team of\u00a0 Crop Breeders who operated at top level of competence across Sub Saharan Africa. Dr Ephrame Havazvidi and his Plant Breeding Team crafted and implemented highly effective crop \u00a0breeding and variety testing strategies towards release of top performing maize, wheat and soyabean varieties which are widely adapted across Africa including some overseas productions niches \u00a0such as India, Pakistan and Brazil. These crop varieties are GMO free, climate change resilient and carry big jumps in genetic grains in Farmers\u2019 fields , much to the benefit of end users in the climate change stress sensitive Sub Saharan African Region .<\/p>\n<p>Dr Ephrame Kudzaishe Havazvidi was awarded \u201cThe Wheat Legend \u201c Title by the Zimbabwe Wheat Board (ZWB) in 2018 and previously also received the \u201cAlan Pilditch Shield\u201d in 2001 for outstanding contribution to the Wheat Value Chains In Southern African Regional countries ; Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique . These varieties have shown promise in Madagascar as well. He released (30) thirty top performing wheat varieties , most of which possess pre-harvest sprouting tolerance with some carrying very strong gluten protein fractions useful in gristing utilities, thereby relieving \u00a0costly importation of overseas hard red wheat grain for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Ephrame Havazvidi is Pioneer in the Research field specifically concerned with improvement of physical and genetic purity plus quality of seed produced by Seed Producers of hybrid maize seed, in particular: In his Seed Production Technology Research , he ascertained pertinent factors which influence effectiveness of Time Isolation and Distance Isolation in the prevention of genetic contamination in hybrid maize seed as caused by neighbouring\u00a0 foreign pollen sources.\u00a0 Dr Havazvidi also established optimum female: male planting ratios and planting patterns in combination with optimum plant densities in the parents. Dr Havazvidi derived recommendations of tolerances of rogue plants and undetasseled female plants in hybrid maize seed production fields in the same research programme . He has recently developed maize inbreds which confer extreme heat and drought stress tolerance coupled with Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE), while combining well for wide adaptation and high grain yield expression.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">12:40 \u2013 1:00 pm (<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Thursday<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">, December 10<\/span><\/span>)<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">\u00a0&#8211; Zimbabwe Time<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1335 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/harare2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Innocent.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/harare2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Innocent.png 664w, http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/harare2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Innocent-300x295.png 300w, http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/harare2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Innocent-620x610.png 620w, http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/harare2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Innocent-195x192.png 195w, http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/harare2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Innocent-70x70.png 70w, http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/harare2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Innocent-45x45.png 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/>Professor Innocent Chirisa<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Dean of the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Professor in the Department of Demography<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> University of Zimbabwe<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Harare, Zimbabwe<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">ID 371: Social Sciences, Services and Industrialisation in Zimbabwe: Shaping the Debate and Practice<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Innocent Chirisa is a Professor in the Department of Demography Settlement and Development at the University of Zimbabwe.
