WP5: Dissemination and implementation

Implementation of the research results will be carried out by innovation platforms. Farmers, scientists and societal stakeholders are invited to this participatory forum of direct collaboration in the districts. Platforms will integrate the different perspectives and work on solutions for SFM, based on the research results. Identified problems will be transformed into recommendations for practical solutions. Links with national issues will be addressed to national institutions. This will be complemented by working with various stakeholders directly, for example with national ministries, working on regulations for participatory research; with local extension services, working on capacity building of staff in communication with farmers; with Agricultural Research Institutions, working on communication with extension services, farmers and communities; and with rural radio stations, working on capacity building for agricultural journalists.
