Capacity Building

Perspectives

GRM 21-25 September 2011

Areas of support

Genotyping support

Training

Communities of Practice (CoPs)

Genotyping support : Strategy

Promote the adoption and use of MB in NARS

breeding programmes

Commissioned research

Breeding applications

Support for PhD students at Africa Centre for

Crop Improvement (ACCI) and West Africa

Centre for Crop Improvement (WACCI)

Crops with platform developed: (Cassava, Chickpea,

Cowpea, Rice, Sorghum)

Breeding

MABC

MARS development

QTL pyramiding

Development of other types of populations

Pre-breeding

Fingerprinting

Migration to SNPs

QTL mapping

Genotyping Support: Capacity

building for NARS partners

Crop targets: Bean, Cassava, Chickpea, Cowpea,

Groundnut, Maize, Rice, Sorghum, Wheat

Application of GCP products

Application of non-GCP products

Validation of on-going work (collaboration with GCP

partners)

Genotyping support : ACCI –

WACCI PhD students

Areas of support

Genotyping support

Training

CoP

Capacity Building: Strategy

Tools to carry out analysis of data within project

Adoption of IBP tools (users cases and CoP)

Maximum of efficiency

Training target

YEAR 1

Germplasm Management

Breeding Mgnt system

Germplasm evaluation

Field trial Mgnt system

CoP establishM

YEAR 2

Updates on tools of year1

Molecular analysis

Genotypic data Mgnt system

Data analysis

CoP implementa

YEAR 3

Updates on tools of year1&2

Analytical pipeline

Breeding decisions

Decision support system

CoP implementa

East Africa – West Africa – South East Asia

WUR team, DM CoP &

other technical trainers

Specific training:

Local level

Specific Language

Different level:

Technicians

Year 1 : Training introduction (length TBD)

Year 2 and 3 : Advanced training on specific tools

Priority setting of partners (surveys)

Allowed partners to be trained à la carte to better fit

the need of their programme (parallel session)

E-leaning material to complement the training

modules

Capacity Building:

Feedback from partners

Organisation of training programme

Involvement in MB activities

The practitioners : breeders, young scientists, technicians

Structure of NARS

Staff constitution

Ensure spill-over : critical mass in institution

Senior scientists not to be excluded totally:

Technology and concepts new to some of them

Some of them are doing the work

Capacity Building:

Feedback from partners

Target of training programme

Capacity built at personal level with scientists

Main challenge in the capacity of the institutions

Disbursement of the funding

Monitoring of the project

Capacity Building for leadership:

Feedback from partners

Phenotyping support to partners

Implementation of handheld tablets in NARS

programmes

Support for implementation of DB at institution

level

Support for implementation of DB at project level

Areas of support

Genotyping support

Training

CoP

CoP :

Achieved :

CoP :

To be enhanced:

Rice in Asia

Rice in Africa

Cassava in Africa

Energizing the community

Sustaining the community

Implementation

Learning together with help of skilled people
