Thanks Dmitry,
We used BioNET-EAFARINET as a resource for our GRIIS inventory development for Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. I also checked with Arne Witt (CABI), he said he would make all the data available in a few months

Thanks Dmitry, I was aware of the project which is a good update on what CABI has done in East Africa. By the way I consulted for CABI way back around 2003 on invasive species of phytosanitary importance, so they have been working on IAS especially in Kenya for many years since their Africa office is in Nairobi. The Museum in Nairobi has also worked on IAS for many years, mostly species lists, identification and distribution, see for example http://keys.lucidcentral.org/keys/v3/eafrinet/plants.htm Best, Siro
