During a half-day side event held in Berlin, SPIA marked the conclusion of their 2019-2024 work plan and shared valuable insights from their evidence portfolio with the System Council. On the agenda were two presentations on the evidence SPIA has gathered on the targeting of agricultural technologies, and on CGIAR’s climate mitigation and adaptation innovations, and two panel discussions with System Council members on future directions for the CGIAR in the light of this evidence. The event was chaired by SPIA Chair, Travis Lybbert. Here are the highlights and key takeaways from the event.
