In this 90-minute webinar, Illuminating Hidden Harvests experts and authors share the rationale and methods behind the initiative and some of the progress and results so far. It includes a moderated roundtable discussion on how to leverage the methods, information and results from the IHH study towards improved policy decision making and in-country capacity for inter-disciplinary data collection and analysis.
In this webinar, the discussion focuses on the need to promote appropriate agricultural technologies and innovations that will help agribusinesses in Africa to be resilient in the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic.
The webinar aims to demonstrate effective institutional and individual capacity development approaches during the formulation and implementation of the NAPs. In addition, examples of practical approaches and tools to assess individual and institutional capacities for National Adaptation Planning will be presented by UNITAR. While country representatives will speak on their experience in carrying out both institutional and individual capacity development, in addition to individual skills assessments.
