Generation Challenge Programme GCP’s mission is using genetic diversity and advanced plant science to improve crops by adding value to breeding for drought-prone and harsh environments. This is achieved through a network of more than 200 partners drawn from CGIAR Centres, academia, regional and national research programmes, and capacity enhancement to assist developing-world researchers to access technologies and to tap into a broader and richer pool of plant genetic diversity. http://generationcp.org/ 2019-06-24T21:14:10-05:00 Joomla! - Open Source Content Management Capacity-building multimedia channel 2012-06-28T17:11:38-05:00 2012-06-28T17:11:38-05:00 http://generationcp.org/37-research/research-themes/593-cb-multi-media-channel Gillian Summers g.summers@cgiar.org <div class="feed-description"><p><strong>Welcome to the Capacity Building (CB) multi-media channel! </strong></p> <p><strong>Here, you'll find content in a variety of media related to GCP's capacity building activities. </strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="#videos">Videos</a> | <a href="#audioclips">Audio clips</a> | <a href="#blogposts">Blogposts</a><br /></strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <h2><strong><a name="videos" id="videos"></a><span style="color: #008000;">Videos</span></strong></h2> <p><strong>Complex personality of groundnut: Part 3 of 4: Capacity building</strong></p> <p>A key message:&nbsp;"Nobody is given anything.
