The document summarizes the Generation Challenge Programme (GCP), a 10-year CGIAR initiative focused on using genetic diversity and plant science to improve crops in developing countries. Some key achievements of GCP included generating genetic resources, genomic tools, and improved germplasm. GCP also enhanced breeding capacity through training programs and established the Integrated Breeding Platform (IBP) to help breeders manage breeding activities and data. While data management and changing behaviors were challenges, GCP successfully established partnerships and cultural changes in research approaches through collaborative projects.
