About the event

This panel discussion brings together senior representation from the GEF, Global Resilience Partnership (GRP), Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, CGIAR and more to explore vision, strategies, challenges and gaps to achieve long-term resilient agricultural development in the developing world.

The moderated discussion will seek to draw out the thrust of how multilateral funds such as the GEF, partnerships such as GRP, large foundations, innovation research organizations and developing countries are visioning and delivering on this critical theme. The panelists will seek to identify areas that are missing from their collective effort, yet are needed, to achieve the vision of long-term resilience.

This will be an interactive session, with time allotted for questions from the audience to the panelists.
