Evaluating Capacity Development:
Experiences from Research and Development Organizations around the World
 What
has proven to be a valuable tool for managers and evaluators in R&D
organizations, as well as the organizations which support them, is now
available for Spanish speakers across Latin America and the Caribbean.
The book, titled Evaluating Capacity Development: Experiences from research
and development organizations around the world, shares the knowledge and
experiences of a group of managers and evaluators from 12 national and
international organizations who, over the years, carried out a series
of evaluation studies in Bangladesh, Cuba, Ghana, Nicaragua, Philippines,
and Vietnam.
Originally published in English in 2003, the much anticipated Spanish
version was recently translated thanks to the financial support of the
Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)
and the technical input of CIAT and the Programme for Strengthening the
Regional Capacity for Monitoring and Evaluation of IFAD's Rural Poverty-Alleviation
Projects in Latin America and the Caribbean (PREVAL).

Presentations of the Seminar "Agriculture and Nutrition: A Healthy
Alliance"
 CIAT
celebrated World Food Day by hosting a seminar "Agriculture and Nutrition:
A Healthy Alliance". This event, which gathered over 200 participants,
aimed to share different viewpoints on the nutritional problems affecting
Latin America, with special emphasis on southwestern Colombia.
All 16 presentations highlighted the role played by agriculture as fundamental
for improving human nutrition and food security, and are now available
online on the AgroSalud's
Web site, one of the seminar’s co-organizers.

World Tapioca Conference
2009
15-16 January 2009, Bangkok, Thailand
 Thailand
is one of the world's largest exporters of cassava products and for this
reason it is fitting that Bangkok will host the World Tapioca Conference
from 15 to 16 January 2009.
This Conference is being organized by the Department
of Foreign Trade of Thailand's
Ministry of Commerce.
CIAT Director General Geoffrey Hawtin has been invited as guest lecturer
and will address the use of innovation to shape the future of cassava.
Dr. Hernán Ceballos will also participate with a presentation on
cassava varieties with high industrial value and new breeding methods,
while Dr. Reinhardt Howeler will address sustainable cassava production
in his presentation. One of the main conference activities is a panel
discussion on the potential of Thailand's tapioca industry and future
perspectives for the crop, with the participation of different experts.

CIAT's New Board of Trustees
Elected
CIAT now has a new Board of Trustees with 11 members, five of which are
new, two reelected, and the remaining four ex officio (because of their
positions).
The new Board members are Juan Lucas Restrepo from Colombia, Anthony
Cavalieri from the United States, Pietro Veglio from Switzerland, Luis
Fernando Vieira from Brazil, and Fina Opio from Uganda.
Two recently appointed members of the former Board, Emilia Boncodin from
the Philippines and Gordon MacNeil from Canada, were reelected to ensure
a smooth transition with the outgoing Board. Dr. MacNeil was appointed
Interim Chair.
The four remaining members are ex officio members and continue to be
the Minister of Agriculture of Colombia, the Rector of the National University,
the Director General of the Colombian Corporation of Agricultural Research
(Corpoica), and the Director General of CIAT.
CIAT's Management Team will hold an extraordinary meeting with the new
Board of Trustees in Washington during the week of 22 September. The date
for the next regular Board meeting, to be held in Cali in November, will
be defined at the September meeting.

New Publications
Innovation
Africa: Enriching Farmers' Livelihoods
 This
book, edited by Pascal Sanginga, Ann Waters-Bayer, Susan Kaaria, Jemimah
Njuki and Chesha Wettasinha and published by Earthscan, covers new
conceptual and methodological developments in agricultural innovation
systems, and showcases recent on-the-ground experiences in and lessons
from related research and development in different contexts in Africa.
The contributions show how innovation is the outcome of social learning
through interaction of individuals and organizations in both creating
and applying knowledge. The book brings examples of how space and
incentives have been created to promote collaboration between farmers,
research, extension, and the private sector to develop better technologies
and institutional arrangements that can alleviate poverty. In 25 broad-ranging
chapters, the book reflects cutting-edge thinking and practice in
catalyzing and supporting innovation processes in agriculture and
management of natural resources.

Challenges to
Managing Ecosystems Sustainably for Poverty Alleviation:
Securing Well-Being in the Andes/Amazon
 This
report aims to guide research and capacity-building priorities related
to ecosystem services and poverty alleviation in the Amazon basin
and eastern Andes. It is the result of extensive engagement with stakeholders
in the region, combined with novel analysis of secondary data on poverty
and ecosystem services such as water provision, biodiversity, and
soil quality. The report presents a list of priority research challenges
for the region, concluding that it is far more cost effective to prevent
future degradation through incentive-based schemes that empower local
communities rather than force people to comply authoritatively. Commissioned
by the Ecosystems Services for Poverty Alleviation Programme (ESPA),
a UK-based initiative of DFID,
NERC, and ESRC
to promote multi-disciplinary research in sustainable ecosystem management,
this study will be valuable to direct environmental-management policy
at all levels.

When Disaster Strikes:
A Guide to Assessing Seed System Security
 Droughts,
floods, locusts, civil war, tsunamis.... When disaster strikes, threatening
lives and livelihoods, humanitarian agencies must respond swiftly
and decisively. Making sure people have enough to eat is usually at
the top of the list of emergency measures. But that task invariably
raises the important issue of seed supplies. Will farmers in the stricken
area have enough seed to plant during the next growing season?
When Disaster Strikes: A Guide to Assessing Seed System Security
is a practical assessment tool. It will help emergency relief agencies
and their field workers to decide whether a seed-related intervention
is warranted in the first place, and if so, to design the best strategy
to help farmers. The method is laid out in seven steps. Each includes
how-to notes, guiding questions, and action checklists. Besides helping
agencies understand and cope with acute stresses on seed systems,
the guide also tackles the issue of longer-term stresses and how to
take advantage of development opportunities.
