Overview
In the frame of IFAD funded SKiM Project (https://mel.cgiar.org/projects/skim), CIHEAM Bari, in collaboration with ICARDA and with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), organized a virtual one-week training from 29 June to 3rd of June, due to Covid-19 emergency. This virtual training week was a starting point for sharing, using, and managing the knowledge, information and experiences created by the partners involved in the project specific modules.
Objective

Besides, it will ensure the reuse of the material by the national partners even after the project completion by the stakeholders.
The learning path is organized in 4 modules and each module contains sessions with short description/contents and multimedia material.
