In line with the Paris Declaration, the Accra Action Plan, and the Busan High Level Forum for Effective Development Cooperation, Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP)’s services will capitalize on and add value to ongoing initiatives that are owned and led by tropical Least Developed Countries (LDCs) by fostering greater coherence of capacity development interventions and strengthening collaboration for more harmonized action and greater mutual accountability.
In 2013 TAP conducted a needs assessment study to identify ongoing initiatives, current priorities, capacities and needs of national and regional Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) in selected tropical countries.
