Policy design and implementation for sustainable food systems transformation in developing countries rely on the research institutions, university departments, and organizations that collect, analyze, and disseminate data for the government and private sector. Collaborative policy research programs can play a valuable role in building the long-term capacity of these institutions to generate the evidence needed for policymaking.
In this seminar, panelists and discussants drew on their experiences with collaborative research in institutional development programs, and explored the lessons learned for strengthening policy research and analysis capacity for food system transformation.
