About the event

At the end of 2024, the Breeding Resources team launched its inaugural Knowledge Exchange Mentorship Program (KEP) – an initiative aimed at building capacity and strengthening collaboration across CGIAR and national partner breeding programs.

This webinar will showcase key outcomes from the first cohort of the KEP and offer insights into how both mentors and mentees have integrated new knowledge and practices into their organizations. We’ll also highlight the broader impact of the program on professional development, leadership, and systems thinking in crop breeding.

What to expect?

• First-hand reflections from mentors and mentees
• Concrete examples of how the program influenced institutional change
• Lessons learned and what we’re taking into the next round of KEP
• A look at upcoming opportunities for engagement

Who should attend

This event is open to:

• CGIAR and NARES staff working in crop breeding and capacity development
• Anyone interested in knowledge exchange, mentorship, and organizational learning
• Stakeholders supporting institutional change and innovation in agricultural R&D
