Transformation Approaches to Mainstream Climate Change, Nutrition, Gender and Youth

Abstract

Transformation requires understanding complexity, pushing boundaries, applying a systems lens and daring for visionary possibilities. Transformational approaches are being actively pursued by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) alongside the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) to mainstream climate change, nutrition, gender and youth participation for rural transformation.

From September 16-20, 2019, stakeholders from across Eastern and Southern Africa, including CGIAR, international universities, government,development partners and the Southern African Confederation of Agricultural Unions (SACAU), were brought together by IFAD and hosted by CCAFS East Africa to embark on this transformative journey across Ethiopia.
