The Global Conference on Agricultural Research and Development (GCARD3) took the opportunity of the event ‘Rural communities, No longer left behind: Rural and regional development in the South and North Mediterranean and the new Neighborhood Policy’ held October 4-6, 2015 in the ExpoMilan to carry out a regional consultation on the Middle East and North Africa.

The regional consultation was woven into the ongoing dialogues being organised for the main event with a key opportunity on Monday October 5th 20015 for CGIAR entities to share on the work and future plans of CGIAR in the region and to interact with key regional players to understand the main priorities, ongoing activities and possibilities for synergy with CGIAR programs.
