Each of the six Stakeholder Workshops will be ‘hosted’ in one of the eight case studies home countries, during the four-year project. They are organised to support the project in showcasing and sharing its results, and importantly to seek input and possible collaborations from stakeholders.
The first workshop focuses on South Africa, it is comprised of Internal workshop which will take place from 30th November 2020 until 1st December 2020 and the External stakeholder workshop which will take place on 9th December 2020.
This workshop will be followed by the External stakeholder workshop which will take place on 9th December 2020. For the first Internal Project stakeholder workshop, South Africa has been selected as the theme country. Therefore, planned discussions will focus on the related food security case study to incentivize a wider local participation.
