Building Bridges Between Knowledge Production and Policy Decision-making
Last May, scientists, political figures and members of Senegalese civil society met in Dakar to discuss the sustainable transformation of agrifood systems. At the core of the discussions was the national structuring of science-policy interfaces, spaces for exchange between two worlds that sometimes struggle to agree. This provided an opportunity to talk with Astou Camara, a researcher at the Senegalese Institute for Agricultural Research (ISRA), about the need to more effectively connect research and policy.
