FARA recently hosted a meeting October 20-22, 2014 in Nairobi, Kenya on FARA/CGIAR Collaboration Workshop on Climate Change, Youth Engagement, Food Security and Agricultural Transformation in Africa. The meeting took 1.5 days to discuss Climate Smart Agriculture and the second 1.5 days to obtain youth input on the development of a FARA youth strategy.
It was great to see so many familiar faces and what was consistently described by the experienced attendees as a very enthusiastic young crowd. Indeed, we had some passionate interventions from the representatives keeping the discussion interesting and lively.
YPARD Africa gave very strong input into the development of the FARA youth strategy. It is currently in ‘skeleton’ phase and FARA has committed to having another event in early 2015 to bring more stakeholders on board to flesh out the strategy. We intend that YPARD’s strategy will be closely aligned.
After the meeting we had a YPARD Africa meeting which gave us the opportunity to discuss some YPARD issues that we’ve been facing and get ideas from the representatives on how to better coordinate the network and try to match their enthusiasm (if possible).
