Among many points of discussion, the IGAD pre-meeting will be also the springboard for the official launching of the Joint Building Synergies in Capacity Development Discussion Group, in the context of research data in agriculture and their potential contribution to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The discussion group will be co-chaired by Isaura Lopez Ramos (CTA) and Suchith Anand (GODAN).
