Multi-Stakeholder Research Question workshopLilongwe 24-26 April 2013

Why PAEPARDII?

Research-research collaboration, no other stakeholders involved

Projects concentrated in a few African countries

Problems identified under PAEPARD1

Declining European-African ARD collaboration

Driven by research interest of European partners with African research stakeholders (=supply approach)

Dominated by European research organisations

Solutions sought that PAEPARD2 will bring

Inclusive partnerships with non-research stakeholders (FOs, private sector, NGOs) leading those partnerships

Projects spread over more African countries

Increased number of European-African ARD partnerships

Driven by demands of end users

Balanced partnerships, led by African non-res. stakeholders

ObjectivesObjectivesOverall: Build joint African-European multi-stakeholder partnerships in ARD contributing to achieving the MDGs

Specific: Enhanced, more equitable, more demand driven and mutually beneficial collaboration of Africa and Europe on ARD with the aim of attaining the MDGs.
