E-Consultation on Open Agricultural Knowledge for Development

The Global GODAN/CIARD Consultation on Open Agricultural Knowledge for Development will take place at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, between 22-24 April. Acknowledging that there are many more people interested in this subject than are able to be there in-person in Rome, the planning committee have opted to run an e-consultation in parallel to the formal meeting in order to solicit as much feedback and wider stakeholder input as possible. 

This e-consultation will run for three weeks in total. It will be less actively monitored during the three days of the face to face meeting.  The twitter hashtag #ciardgodan will be the main channel of two-way communication during this three day period.

The questions for the e-consultation have been selected to mirror the format of the conference as much as possible. This will help to ensure that these comments are incorporated into the face to face discussion, as well as allowing a space for more in-depth comments to be posted after the event.
