The Legume Systems Innovation Lab will hold four regional stakeholder convenings to address gaps in regional legume value chains in Africa and Central America. The gaps identified will drive funding priorities which will be released as request for proposals (RFP) in the upcoming months.
The first event will be held on Wednesday March 20th and will focus on the Southern Africa legume value chain. The target countries for this event are Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia.
The event will held from 9:30-4:30 CAT Central Africa Time (UTC/GMT+2) via zoom. Registration is required and can be completed at this link.
The program expects to fund legume research projects aligned with the Legume Systems Innovation Lab goals of best agronomic practices and services, targeted varietal scaling and development, inclusive inputs and market systems, and climate change adaptation and mitigation as they relate to legume value chains.
Interested parties working in any aspect of the legume value chain in the Legume Lab focus countries are encouraged to participate in this interactive event. Your expertise is needed to drive gains in this valuable food system forward.
