IFAD Ethiopia office on the ILRI campus will strengthen bonds and facilitate research uptake

Abstract

On 11 August 2011, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) opened a country office on the ILRI campus in Addis Ababa. ILRI Director of Partnerships and Communications Bruce Scott argued that this shared physical location will provide opportunities for ILRI and CGIAR to better share their research findings and evidence with IFAD and the Government and national development partners it works with. It is important that research results are scaled up and out and this closer relationship is certain to facilitate this.
