The European Initiative for Agricultural Research for Development (EIARD) and the European Forum on Agricultural Research for Development (EFARD) are jointly preparing partnerships with Regional and Subregional Fora and entities in the context of
the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR). Europe has an interest to cooperate with regional organisations in agricultural research for development, based on the EIARD strategy and based on institutional partnerships in the frame of the European Forum. This process is new and it is a learning process.
