The BPAT assessment team consists of a senior plant breeder with experience in a successful private and/or public sector program, paired with a management consultant.  The intent is that the combined skill sets of team members provide the ability to evaluate technical aspects of the breeding program, evaluate enablers across the institution, coordinate a well-run process, and provide meaningful feedback to the institution being assessed as well as the donors/sponsors of BPAT. The management consultant is the coordinator of the visit in terms of managing the process, logistics, and deliverables.
