IFPRI Event - 5 No 2024 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/learning-support-for-a-multi-country-climate-resilience-programme-tickets-1050902055337?aff=oddtdtcreator Organized by CGIAR with support from World Food Programme (WFP) and The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) The Learning Support for a Sub-Saharan Africa Multi-Country Climate Resilience Program for Food Security, launched in 2023, aims to enhance food security and climate resilience across 14 African countries. This collaboration among CGIAR, the World Food Programme, and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) has three pillars: scaling disaster risk financing, transforming food systems with sustainable school meals and clean cooking, and supporting smallholder farmers. This work leverages CGIAR’s extensive experience in strategic program support, impact evaluations, and knowledge product development, and integrates the CGIAR’s Fragility, Conflict, and Migration (FCM) and Seed Equal initiatives. Ongoing efforts include strategic reviews, resilience assessments, and evaluations of WFP’s nutritional and crisis resilience interventions. The event aims to disseminate research findings and showcase the partnership’s significant contributions to food security and climate resilience. Speakers from CGIAR, WFP, and Norad will present an overview of the program and highlights of research projects and findings, followed by a panel discussion by experts from several African countries.

Hello Scale Members! This is a bit dated but the ICT firm and platform are still very much operational and scaling. See https://seedassurealliance.com/digital-platforms/ for an example of a PPP to scale digital ag solutions. The ICT firm with the products is CellSoft in Kenya--you can find them here https://cellsofttechnologies.com/

Quick Intros and Purpose

HI all, Glad to see folks joining. I will be co-moderating this space with Satish Nagaraji of CIMMYT. Early topics will be

  • How do we know if an innovation or research product is scalable? Criteria, metrics and assessment experiences that are pragmatic and helpful.
  • Beyond Carbon Markets to Nature Assets: how CG scientists lead on quantifying (and verifying/ MRV) carbon capture, biodiversity enhancement, clean water protection soil health and other value-additions to sustainable ag that investors are looking for 

Looking forward to a fruitful discussion!
