Similarly, a mango and cashew innovation platform was established in the North Bank Region at the end of a two-day workshop held in Jenoi, Lower River Region. The network dubbed Innovation Platforms (IP) is a developmental tool being used increasingly to mobilize and support key stakeholders in complex systems for agricultural development in developing countries.
This dissemination approach is supported by the Gambia Government-World Bank funded project dubbed GIRAV under the Central Projects Coordinating Unit (CPCU) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food security. GIRAV as part of implementation is receiving technical support from the West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF), which is a regional implementing partner for the project.
