There are clearly two main dimensions to the problem of launching ¿Global Partnership Programmes¿ (GPP): 1) The identification of the agricultural products, production factors or strategic challenges which would be better addressed at the global level, following the
basic principle of subsidiarity and a clear process to set priorities between them. 2) The process to develop ¿true partnerships¿ which will allow all stakeholders, in particular the local communities, to drive not only the agenda-setting but also its implementation and the social use of the expected outputs. The agenda of the technical workshop is being designed keeping in mind these two
key questions.
