The purpose of this programme is to:
- Develop capacity for agricultural research in developing countries.
- Disseminate new agricultural technologies that are adaptable to local conditions and to local farmers.

Each capacity building programme is planned and implemented by a leading scientist (host scientist) who is engaged in research related to sustainable agriculture in developing countries.
