CTA Project Completion Report: Capitalizing on experiences for greater impact in rural development by Chavez-Tafur, Jorge

“…Following the structure and the list of activities outlined in the project proposal, during these 3 years the project • helped complete the FAO/IMARK learning module on experience capitalisation and supported the production of the Spanish and French versions; • built and maintained a thematic website, and completed it with an online repository with guidebooks and manuals as well as with the results of different capitalisation processes; • prepared, used and shared a series of training materials, together with a facilitators’ guidebook – building on the resources already available, but more specifically on the experience accumulated by the project; • ran a series of training workshops and supported the completion of experience-capitalisation processes in East Africa, Mozambique, India, West Africa (in French and in English), South East Asia, the Pacific region and Latin America; • completed the editing, layout and publication of 10 booklets with the results of the capitalisation processes started in different parts of the world (with more than 120 cases in total), together with two additional booklets focusing on the capitalisation process itself and on its institutionalization; • worked together with other organisations, such Farm Radio International and the International Land Coalition, in the analysis and documentation of their projects’ activities; • ran a series of webinars for online facilitators, focusing on the organisation and facilitation of a community of practice, and invited different participants to guide and facilitate the regional communities - in English (East and West Africa and in the Pacific region), French (West Africa), Portuguese (Brazil and Mozambique) and Spanish (Latin America); • presented the results achieved in international conferences and seminars (in Benin, Mauritania and the Netherlands); and • helped prepare a series of capitalisation processes within CTA, as part of a thorough analysis of its different intervention areas.…”

“…Here, we sequenced and assembled reference genomes for both swamp and river buffaloes and we re-sequenced 230 individuals (132 swamp buffaloes and 98 river buffaloes) sampled from across Asia and Europe. Beyond the many actionable insights that our study revealed about the domestication, basic physiology and breeding of buffalo, we made the striking discovery that the divergent domestication traits between swamp and river buffaloes can be explained with recent selections of genes on social behavior, digestion metabolism, strengths and milk production.…”
