Output 6: Recommendations made for national and regional systems

From year 5 onwards, consolidated results can be translated into recommendations to the major stakeholder groups and function systems: (a) extension services and farmer organizations, (b) research, (c) policy makers and local/national government, (d) private sector and value chain actors and civil society (local NGO, CBO, associations etc.). Senior researchers will elaborate recommendations and policy papers. These recommendations will be built on the results of the entire series of research (including peer reviewed journal manuscripts from PhD studies) and from national innovation platforms.
