Reaching impact across the board: Scaling up, out and deep through knowledge and integration-based approaches

Achieving resilient, regenerative landscapes to address food and nutrition insecurity requires integrated approaches across sectors and involvement from stakeholders at all levels. Effective, consistent and programmatic knowledge management plays a key role in ensuring these goals are met in a strategic manner. This side event, organized under the general context of the FAO-led GEF-7 Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program on Dryland Sustainable Landscapes, will bring together executing agencies from four Global Environment Facility (GEF) Impact Programmes to present, compare and discuss how effective knowledge sharing is a catalytic tool for assuring greater results on the ground, even after the lifespan of the project. Concrete, innovative and replicable knowledge sharing approaches and lessons learned will be presented and discussed with country-level testimonials. The aim is to learn and inspire replication allowing for past experiences to harness future goals and ambitions of transformative Impact Programmes.
