Analyst, GFAiR

The Organization
The Global Forum on Agricultural Research and Innovation (GFAiR) is a voluntary multi-stakeholder network and movement for change, uniquely bringing together actors from 13 constituencies interested in the transformation of the Agri-Food System. GFAiR is made up of approximately 1,000 member networks and institutions, working together through collective advocacy and action to shape the future of agriculture and food and their role in achieving sustainable development. The partners in GFAiR come from all around the world and across many constituencies, including farmers, consumers, civil society organizations, women and youth organizations, the private sector, public national and international research systems, advisory services, education, donor bodies, and three UN Organizations.

GFAiR mobilizes dialogue and Collective Actions between the many partners who make up the Forum and who share GFAiR's common vision of making agri-food research and innovation more effective, responsive, and equitable towards achieving Sustainable Development outcomes. The GFAiR Secretariat helps trigger these Collective Actions among GFAiR partner institutions, who are themselves the agents of change. GFAiR helps inspire and enable the transformation and strengthening of agri-food research and innovation for development systems and processes to become more inclusive and equitable, more effective, and impactful, and catalyzes changes, fostering dialogue and new forms of multi-stakeholder collaboration at different levels, through its extensive networks.
