First Regional Stakeholder Convening Brings Legume Value Chain Stakeholders from Southern Africa Together to Identify Systems Gaps
From the March 2024 Newsletter
Over 70 Southern Africa legume stakeholders recently gathered for an in-depth virtual conversation on the bean value chain in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia. The event was organized by the Legume Systems Innovation Lab and the International Centre for Evaluation and Development (ICED).
The attendees heard from experts on gender, climate change, seed sectors, and value chains as they relate to Southern African legume systems. In the afternoon, the attendees broke into groups to dive into these topics to identify and address gaps noted within these systems.
The Legume Systems Innovation Lab will continue to engage attendees as they work to develop funding priorities for Southern Africa legume systems. Funding opportunities are expected to be announced by May.
