N.; Campilan, D.; Carden, F.; de Souza Silva, J.; Duong, L. T.; Khadar, I.; Boza, A. M.; Muniruzzaman, I. K.; Perez, J.; Chang, M. S.; Vernooy, R.; Watts, J.

The authors of this book seek to further the discussion on capacity building evaluation and make recommendations by drawing from a several evaluation studies completed by the International System for National Agricultural Research in the Netherlands in 2000. Additionally, they maintain that evaluative studies should also contribute to the effort to which they pertain by producing relevant products that are useful to the development project itself.
- Seed that give: Participatory plant breedingVernooy, R. (Ottawa, ON, Canada: IDRC, 2003)This In-Focus book presents fragments of the arduous biodiversity research work carried out and ongoing in numerous, often far away and little known places around the world. The book builds on an internal review of 10 years of IDRC support to agricultural biodiversity. Both the book and the review aim to take stock of the cumulative efforts in terms of research and development achievements and challenges. They are meant to be formative: to enhance ongoing work, conceptually, methodologically, and practically.
