• Enhance scale
• Greater capacity • Exploit synergies: genuine “win-wins” eg similarities in
challenges for breeding, seed systems and postharvest management
To do together what we cannot do separately
Program “value added”

GCP: big lessons for CRPs!
• Focus on products – product delivery manager
• Valuing products - $, other metrics?
• Targeted communication – getting product into use: • Perception, attitude and behaviour
• Putting products into market place based on willingness
to pay – IBP/BMS
• Sequencing of competitive and program funding
• Sunsetting and legacy

GCP and RTB: next steps
• RTB support IBP across crops/centers: 2nd Call
• IBP link Cassavabase, Sweetpotatobase (GBS) • Concept note cassava group (Chiedoezie Egesi
– NRCRI and NARS colleagues)
• Sustaining and growing CoP
• Finalizing products
• Breeding populations – repository • Unique value proposition and cost
