This interactive scaling workshop will explore examples of successes and lessons learned from CGIAR’s pioneering contributions to scaling innovations for transformative agricultural development in regions and countries. One of the expected outputs is to showcase different models, approaches, frameworks but ultimately close partnership relationships to accelerate scaling and impact. Challenges in developing and scaling integrated solutions to build food, land, and water systems resilience often cut across borders. Sharing recent examples can foster new ideas and allow stakeholders to take informed actions to shape the vision for delivery and scaling of integrated solutions.
A crucial aspect of this approach is the co-location of CGIAR research efforts with those of local partners. This collaboration not only fosters a deeper understanding of regional issues but also ensures that the solutions developed are infused with local knowledge and expertise. Such partnerships are invaluable, as they bring together CGIAR’s scientific rigor with the practical insights of local stakeholders, including farmers, agribusinesses, and policymakers. This synergy amplifies the impact of research, leading to more practical, sustainable, and culturally sensitive agrifood solutions.
The session will include expert presentations, interactive discussions, and opportunities for participants to engage in knowledge exchange on scaling agricultural innovations effectively.
