We express our gratitude to different actors who accepted to share their valuable
experience of Tropical Legumes projects.
Impact Story Collection
We thank the communication people who contributed in gathering information
from the field. We acknowledge the contribution of Justin Ndichu, a communication
consultant who helped to put together the impact stories in Tanzania; Eleanor
Manyasa, a communication Intern at ICRISAT, who gathered the impact stories in
Uganda, and Agathe Diama, head of communication, ICRISAT-Mali for collecting
impact stories from Nigeria and Ghana.
We greatly acknowledge the valuable contributions of Justin, Eleanor, and Agathe
who have been instrumental in gathering the various reported impact stories in this
book. Without the collaboration of these colleagues, it could have been challenging
to deliver on this book.

The Tropical Legume projects transforming the lives of the under-served majority
along the commodity value chains in the drought-prone areas","The smallholder farmers’ access to the outputs of the breeding programs’ achievements
has been very weak and hence calls for effective, more coherent, and wellarticulated
design of technology and seed delivery systems of food legume crops.
The Tropical Legumes projects responded to this need.
This book shares impact stories and testimonies from various value chain actors
who were part of the Tropical Legumes (TL) projects over the past 12 years. It presents
the experiences of a diversity of actors within the grain legume value chains,
with a focus on groundnut and common beans in Tanzania and Uganda, groundnut
and cowpea in Nigeria, and groundnut in Ghana. All actors involved shared their
feeling of being part of decade-long development project families. National agricultural
research institutes, knowledge brokering organizations, NGOs, public seed
companies, private seed companies, agro-dealers, individual seed entrepreneurs,
farm implement makers, farmer cooperatives, farmer groups, individual farmers,
women farmers, middlemen, processors, traders, and consumers were all involved
in this experience. This book provides learning opportunities for development workers,
technical staff, and project managers. It will also inspire development workers
and project managers to share their own experiences for others to learn from.","2020-03","published",,,,,"Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd","Singapore",,"106",,,,,"doi:10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5",,,,,"TRUE",,,"Sowing Legume Seeds, Reaping Cash",,,,,"","https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5","","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
