Exchange and compare
the diversity of experiences on participatory plant
breeding (PPB) and dynamic biodiversity enhancement from
Eastern, Central, Western and Southern Africa
Encourage a dialogue
between professionals (scientists, development workers)
and farmers (including farmer breeders) on PPB and plant
genetic resource (PGR) enhancement
Identify gaps in
experience of PPB and networking needed for potential
second regional workshop in 2004
Make current
contributions to a working manual on ‘Guidelines for PPB’
Identify follow-up
actions to support farmer-led and formal-led PPB
Identify follow-up
actions to support dynamic approaches for biodiversity
conservation and enhancement
Sensitize institutional
plant breeders on participatory approaches to crop
improvement
