Connecting People and Ideas... ERF proudly facilitates and manages a leading multi-stakeholder forum and platform: nurturing partnerships towards maximizing impact of development research and informing policy processes. We organize and host a number of consultations, workshops and conferences regularly to: disseminate ERF sponsored research findings and bring together key stakeholders to discuss new findings and the potential impact on relevant policies. Moreover, nurturing promising researchers in the region lies at the heart of ERF's mission; accordingly, ERF also regularly holds training and capacity building events.
