Virtual marketplace for Prolinnova Country Platforms
On Friday 1 October, we had our first virtual marketplace for Prolinnova Country Platforms (CPs). It was attended by 42 participants from various CPs, members of the Prolinnova Oversight Group, International Support Group and Friends of Prolinnova. Thank you to all the CPs and the farmer innovators with whom you collaborated in preparing material for the marketplace. We had a range of videos and presentations made by representatives of the CPs, including farmer innovators. It provided a great opportunity to share with and learn from each other. Thanks to A Growing Culture (AGC), who worked over the last couple of months assisting members of CPs to develop materials and story-telling skills.
The marketplace highlighted some examples of local innovation and participatory innovation development (PID). It prepared the ground for this year's International Partners Workshop (IPW), which focussed on sharing and learning about institutionalising the approach of promoting farmer innovation and PID, as well as multi-CP collaboration as a step toward regionalisation of the network (for more about the IPW 2021, see: http://www.prolinnova.net/content/international-partners-workshop-ipw-2021). At the marketplace, each CP had a 10-minute slot for presentation and discussion. Presentations were made by the CPs in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Ghana, India, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal, Philippines, Senegal, South Africa and Sudan.
Thanks to everyone for participating in such an interesting and valuable event!
