Carried out over a number of months by an independent team of experts commissioned by IFAD, an Independent Forward-Looking Learning Review of GFAR has now been published.

The GFAR Steering Committee, EXCO and many GFAR stakeholders were actively consulted during the review process, and a separate desk review study also informed the findings and recommendations presented.

The reviewers have also produced a preliminary draft Chapter on suggested learning trajectories for GFAR, also attached here. These have important implications for the focus and planning of Collective Actions, and mode of operation, under the next GFAR Medium Term Plan.
