ABOUT:

In pursuit of the goal to create "more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind," the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) acknowledges the pivotal role of innovation in elevating the impact of its projects and programmes.

Within this context, innovation in governance and policy processes emerges as the linchpin for reinforcing evidence-based and inclusive decision-making. It is also the engine that drives the scaling of technological and other innovations contributing to the sustainable transformation of agrifood systems.

This forthcoming webinar provides a unique opportunity to glean insights from stakeholders and partners, who have tested tools and approaches in policy and governance innovation at the national level. It's an exploration of the tangible progress made, the challenges surmounted, and the invaluable lessons learned from concrete experiences from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malawi and beyond.

Join us for this virtual event, where innovation in policy and governance is demystified and its pivotal role in the future of agrifood systems takes centre stage.

The event will be in English.
