CGIAR Kicks Off the CWANA Consultations
Early this July, CGIAR invited over 120 delegates from government and National Agriculture Research and Extension Services (NARES) from across the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) Region to gather together for the first of a series of CGIAR online consultations about the future agricultural needs of the region.
These consultations aim to discuss how the evolution of the ‘One CGIAR reformulation’ can deliver more impact through agricultural research-for-development in the CWANA Region and how this will better address challenges to ensure sustainable solutions now and in the future. A key cornerstone of this work is the newly formulated CGIAR Initiatives, which are currently under development, and of which nineteen are planned to occur across the region.
