The Policy Innovations Science Program is dedicated to driving sustainable change by transforming food, land, and water systems. This systems-wide approach directly addresses critical challenges, including: 

Heightened poverty and food insecurity exacerbated by increasing uncertainty and poly-crises. 
Dis-functional markets and underperforming institutions. 
Increased complexity and limited access to reliable and timely evidence for decision-making. 

Identifying evidence-based solutions to these challenges is paramount in today's world, where global, country and regional-level food systems are under immense pressure, characterized by a lack of transformative action. Governments and decision makers worldwide require actionable and timely advice  to inform their policymaking, navigate intricate trade-offs, address market dysfunctions, and enhance institutional performance. This is precisely where the Policy Innovations Science Program steps in.  

We deliver research-based innovations and actionable recommendations to empower decision-makers. Through our cutting-edge analytical products, we provide critical outlooks, policy options, and strategic investment choices, engaging at global, regional, and national levels. Our rapid response services offer timely, research-based policy advice and crisis response, providing crucial support when it’s needed most. Furthermore, we are committed to localizing capacity and tools, co-creating analytical tools, sharing expertise, and improving institutional capacity. 

Objectives of the Event: 
To further strengthen our impact and ensure that our research effectively translates into real-world solutions, we are organizing a Strategy Dialogue during the CGIAR Science Week titled – Driving Impact Together: Learning from Partner Experiences & Expanding Future Collaborations. This event will bring together distinguished partner institutions for a dynamic panel discussion followed by focused small group discussions to develop concrete collaborative strategies. The objective is to maximize the collective impact of our work towards shared Impact Areas. The event will serve as a crucial platform to: 

Foster open and honest dialogue, strengthening partner relationships. 
Identify and prioritize actionable areas for collaborative efforts. 
Maximize the collective impact of research and innovation towards shared development goals. 

We invite you to actively participate in this session and contribute your expertise to shape the future of food, land, and water policies. Your insights will directly contribute to refining partnerships, prioritizing actions and fostering a stronger, more impactful network.
