Overcoming future sustainable development challenges will require significant transformations in food, land, and water systems. However, the challenges faced by countries are varied and complex. Produced by IWMI, the Policy Pathways podcast will examine the policy coherence of food, land, and water systems in six of the CGIAR’s National Policies and Strategies Initiative countries. To explore the policy processes shaping the sustainable development landscape, CGIAR’s National Policies and Strategies Initiative (NPS) commissioned reports in six countries – Colombia, Egypt, India, Kenya, Laos and Nigeria. As the reports make clear, policy coherence is hard, but essential to future food, land, and water security in a climate crisis. Our new podcast, Policy Pathways, will help provide insight into the relationships between research-based evidence and policy complexity.
