Innovation Platforms

The project established six innovation platforms (IP) for technology validation and dissemination in the main wheat production states; Gezira (2 IPs), New Halfa (2 IPs), River Nile (1 IP), and Northern State (1 IP). The IP allows different stakeholders to interact with each other to better understand each other, learn and develop shared priorities, define roles, and agree on joint actions and work plans towards the realization of the agricultural revival and development.
