At the regional level, the TAP-AIS project supports the regional research and extension organizations (RREOs) in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to strengthen capacities in national agricultural innovation systems (AIS). The RREOs have conducted joint rapid appraisals and based on the identified gaps in their regions and across regions they have adapted and integrated TAP tools and approaches into their work programs. The RREOs have implemented participatory trainings, published and shared good practices, shared experiences, practical tools and facilitated multistakeholder working groups on highly relevant technical topics such as higher education and agroecology, while integrating approaches to strengthen functional capacities based on the TAP Common Framework (CF). The support provided by the TAP-AIS project strengthens RREOs’ capacities to deliver on their mandates vis-à-vis national constituencies and strengthens knowledge sharing and collaboration between RREOs within and across the regions.
