We can end extreme poverty, but how to cover the costs of development? There are solutions! The World Bank Group brought together development organizations, governments, the private sector and civil society to discuss what it will take to finance development in a post-2015 world.

<p>Jointly facilitated&nbsp;from the outset&nbsp;by the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) and The African Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN), the Enabling Environment Action Group is one of the three action groups that supports the&nbsp;Global Alliance on Climate Smart Agriculture. The EEAG provides a platform for collaboration and information-sharing among a range of organisations and networks.

The Global Forum on Agricultural Research – GFAR; and the Development Fund of Norway-DF, with its local partner in Malawi, the Centre for Environmental Policy and Advocacy- CEPA, have developed this capacity building material for small-scale farmers, farmers’ organizations, decision makers and relevant stakeholders. These three institutions are aware of the need and importance of recognizing and implementing the rights of farmers over plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and associated traditional knowledge.
