Purpose of WP2

The overall objective of this WP is to provide relevant knowledge to support IRC members and other FNSSA stakeholders to implement planned activities, including the support to the update of the FNSSA Roadmap. The WP aims to facilitate public access and knowledge sharing through the further development and consolidation of existing knowledge management and monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) tools towards the preparation of a single online knowledge management and decision-making platform for the IRC occurring later in the project (WP4).

Objectives of WP2

      • To consolidate and update the existing FNSSA knowledge management system (KMS) tools towards the creation of one knowledge platform that will facilitate public access and knowledge sharing on relevant research activities and results.
      • To facilitate the utilization of the KMS for the adapted needs of FNSSA stakeholders

        and for the support to update the FNSSA Roadmap

      • To develop and validate a MEL framework that identifies and capitalizes on synergies with regional, EU, AU and local agricultural innovation system actors, enabling an impact-oriented Partnership MEL system

      • To develop a participatory IRC impact assessment framework that provides a

        structure from which the IRC is able to continuously refine its activities to ensure coherence with the diverse needs and priorities of its members.

      • to support the updating of the FNSSA Roadmap with new R&I priorities based on collectively identified knowledge gaps
