Within the framework of the CLIC-SR project funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the four Country Platforms involved – in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda – examined their past experiences in trying to influence policy to become more favourable towards farmer-led research and innovation approaches. They drew lessons which should guide them in their policy-dialogue activities in efforts to create a more enabling environment for approaches that link local and scientific knowledge and innovation and thus strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers to change – including climate change. The synthesised Working Document that came out of this review can be found here.
