Since 2018 and until March 2023, the Strengthening Knowledge Management (SKIM) project has been implemented under the direct coordination of ICARDA and the financial support of IFAD, with the aim of effectively developing long-term knowledge management capacities in the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and Europe regions, focusing on three target countries (Morocco, Moldova and Sudan). Among several core activities carried out by the SKIM project, three learning Routes were implemented, analyzing good practices and innovative solutions in knowledge management assets, tools and approaches in the three countries. The main objective of the three Learning Routes was to strengthen partners' institutional capacities on key issues of interest to the programme, and to create better opportunities for knowledge sharing among SKIM partners in order to increase the development impact and KM strategies in their respective interventions. In this context, PROCASUR, one of the SKIM partners, was responsible for the preparation and implementation of the Learning Route in Sudan in November 2020. As this activity took place in a pandemic context, it was conducted in a virtual modality through the production and dissemination of video interviews with key local resource persons working in IFAD-funded projects in Sudan. The other two learning Routes were organized and implemented by ICARDA partners. Building on the previous collaboration, PROCASUR carried out an ex-post evaluation aimed at assessing the process of adoption and scaling up of innovative solutions in the participants' respective organizations. In this final phase, PROCASUR also carried out an inventory of the profile of local champions who acted as knowledge service providers in the three Learning Routes. This report describes the main results of this Procasur-ICARDA collaboration under SKIM Programme and it is structured according to the following sections: the first section presents a brief overview of the three learning routes organized under SKIM; the second section presents the results of the ex-post assessment focusing on the process of adoption and scaling up of innovative solutions in participants' respective organizations; while the third and last section describes the process of identification, profiling and creation of the on-line catalogue of local champions
