The role of International collaboration in agricultural research to address challenges in the post-COVID-19 global food system

Abstract

The year 2019, the fourth year of the Fourth Medium to Long-Term Plan for FY 2016-2020, was also the time to review our accomplishments so far, and to start preparing for our plan in the next five years. In the annual program review meeting for FY 2019, there was a general consensus that the four programs have already delivered more than what was initially committed under the current Plan, and ensured that the modalities for dissemination of our research ontputs were in place to achieve the expected outcomes and impacts beyond the term of various projects.
