The IITA Crop Improvement Team organized a retreat from 21 to 25 October to identify needs, set priorities, plan future actions for IITA‘s crop improvement strategy, align with CGIAR‘s Breeding for Tomorrow and Genebanks Science Program, and promote team collaboration.
The three-day retreat, moderated by management consultant Milton Kamwendo, brought together IITA experts from diverse fields to develop a strategy for sharing information and integrating new tools, technologies, methods, and best practices.
The retreat’s objectives included reviewing feedback from the Breeding Program Assessment Tool (BPAT), prioritizing recommendations, and developing detailed implementation work plans. They also shared updates on progress across all breeding programs and complementary disciplines and fostered collaboration and synergy across complementary disciplines.
