Development and delivery of bean varieties in Africa: the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) model
This paper is a case study of a network that combined participatory approaches to propose best suited knowledge management (KM) interventions for its member countries. A five-step exercise used existing elements of the alliance’s strategy, a KM survey and a face-to-face participatory validation o...
