Innovative partnerships and multi- stakeholders approaches promoted in the RAS context (229)

This session will present the first results of a capitalization of experiences on rural advisory services. It has been found that services need to be diverse in types of services, approaches and providers. Platforms and partnerships are a mean to create trust among the stakeholders allowing the engagement of the private sector at an operational level. Participants will also hear about plans for a public-private partnership to promote Internet technology and facilitate peer-to-peer learning among farmers, with an emphasis on sustainable agriculture.
