The Problems at Stake Numerous interventions addressing gaps in capacity and
knowledge in agricultural innovation in tropical areas have:• Insufficient alignment with country/regional policies &
needs• Insufficient coordination and synergy between them • Small-scale activities with high transaction costs and
limited impact• Inadequate analysis of interdisciplinary needs and the
demands of agricultural markets.

The TAP objectiveGreater coherence of capacity development and knowledge sharing to improve agricultural production and productivity in the tropics, with a particular focus on smallholders.

The TAP Approach
Multilateral, multi-sectoral facilitation mechanism
Convening stakeholders at global and national level
Enabling actors to contribute through partnerships
Creating more coherent actions with greater impact
Aligning with national, regional and global policy frameworks
FAO acting as a global facilitator and convenor
![Page 6: Tropical Agriculture Platform: progress report](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816568550346895dd7f5f0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The TAP Target Groups
Target Groups (directly affected): • Policymakers and institutions
in agricultural innovation (research, extension, education etc),
• Private sector and civil society active in innovation systems
• Relevant development agencies, fora etc.

Assessment of Current Capacities and Needs
Enhanced Policy Dialogue
Effective Capacity Development Partnerships
Enhanced Knowledge Exchange
Strategic Action Plan
Common Framework for CD
The TAP Outputs
![Page 8: Tropical Agriculture Platform: progress report](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816568550346895dd7f5f0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The difference TAP will make
• Partnerships and shared visions fostered to promote:– capacity development interventions more coherent and
aligned with national plans and demands– national leadership and ownership acknowledged
• Capacity development solutions developed at scale and with lower transaction costs
• Knowledge and experiences shared between broad constituencies of stakeholders

The initial steps• Constituency formed– 37 partners – More announced– Others support
• Operational framework– General Assembly– Steering Committee
• Program of work for the inception phase

Key points• TAP is a facilitating mechanism for
greater coherence• TAP will build on and complement
existing mechanisms• TAP will be neither an
implementing mechanism nor a funding mechanism
• TAP will span the capacity dimensions i.e. enabling environment, organizations and individuals
