The meeting, hosted by IIED and IDS, was chaired by Camilla Toulmin, Director of IIED. The discussion covered:
A brief explanation of social learning approaches and positive impacts within the context of climate change and food security;
Ways to more widely incorporate these approaches into research and development;
How these approaches can help us scale up, accelerate impact and improve delivery of outcomes, and
Opportunities to develop new programs, consortia or innovative funding partnerships and alliances to further these aims. The intention is to explore how the CCSL initiative may leverage financial support for its non-CGIAR partners rather than looking to support CGIAR directly.
