International organizations engaged in human capacity building for development generate many different types of technical documentation and training materials for a variety of audiences, often across different languages. The challenge for these organizations is to more easily reuse their content not only from one of their units to another, but also content components among different organizations. DITA provides the means to achieve this reuse for technical documentation, but also to reuse the technical documentation elements in learning content. This equally applies to the reuse of content materials of the United Nations University (UNU) and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). In a joint effort, the UNU and the CGIAR are currently exploring the use of DITA to enhance the development and delivery of their training materials for national partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America. This presentation reflects about the initial experiences and challenges of adapting DITA to convert existing learning content as well as to incorporate content from other organizations such as the UNU into the learning resource base of the CGIAR
