GFAR invites your comments on the draft CGIAR Capacity Development Guidelines
Dear Colleagues,
The CGIAR has embarked on establishing guidelines on capacity development
(CapDev). In line with the renewed emphasis on enhanced partnerships within
the CGIAR Research Programs and the priorities and work of the CGIAR Centers,
the CapDev Working Group is seeking views of a range of organizations and
resource persons on the draft document. The CapDev Conference of Partners
will then review the revised draft document in early September. Clearly, the
paper will have importance within the ongoing CGIAR Reform to frame the
fundamental, cross-cutting role of capacity development in support of
agricultural innovation and research for development for smallholder
farmers.
GFAR has been asked to help obtain feedback on the draft guidelines from a
range of partners. We would very much hope that as an individual or as a
focal point for your institution or network, you and your constituent
networks would wish to review and comment on the document. This is an
opportunity to influence the paper and process with far reaching consequences
for agricultural research at global, regional and national level. Please find
attached the draft document as well as the link: bit.ly/1ksMfVH.
The document is not long, so we trust that you and your members could
review the document in the immediate future. Given the consideration of the
paper in September, and the need to aggregate the responses received for
submission to the CapDev Working Group, we would wish to receive your views
at [log in to unmask] by
6 August 2014. You may wish to respond with comments within the document or
provide separate, remarks referencing the relevant sections. Please proceed
as you prefer.
We very much look forward to your contributions. We are pleased that the
CGIAR Consortium and this Working Group are reaching out to a wide range of
external partners and interested actors through the Global Forum and the
diverse range of AR4D stakeholders uniquely brought together in GFAR.
This is an opportunity to seek the perspectives and interests of those who
are intended to directly benefit from the capacity development guidelines at
local and country levels. We will certainly advise you of the results of the
review and the subsequent discussions of the CapDev Conference of Partners in
September.
Thank you for your feedback!
