Pillar 2: Research infrastructure conducive to Innovation
Pillar 2 : Institutional capacity strengthening
The pillar 2 projects are aimed at strengthening regional and international organizations in charge of coordination of research in Africa (CORAF, ASARECA, CCARDESA), supporting strategic thinking regarding advisory services (AFAAS), contributing to the capitalization of experiences related to innovation systems (TAP/FAO, GFAR). One project contributes to build research capacities through the training and mentoring of young African researchers (One Planet Fellowships). Each project is designed and monitored with an impact pathway approach for research institutions based on a plausible theory of change with climate change perspective
