| dcterms.description | The delegates deliberated on several critical issues impacting on the ACP agriculture Science, Technology and Innovation system over the five day period. Presentations by the team of ACP and European experts (see Appendix 11) were well received and there was active participation in plenary and work group sessions. Discussions were intense and the delegates achieved consensus on a range of issues. The meeting agreed as follows: 1. The CTA S&T Strategies Programme should add value to existing initiatives and focus on: Facilitating the policy dialogue on Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) for Agricultural and Rural development. These dialogues should be promoted at the national, regional, ACP and ACP-EU levels. Information management and communication on ST&I for agricultural and rural development and facilitate exchange of information, experiences and technologies. Knowledge development with emphasis on building capacity for enhancing participation in ST&I policy dialogues, developing national science, technology and innovation systems and developing negotiations and lobbying skills. Website should include strategic links to other websites with relevant content and complement existing initiatives. Website should be targeted to all major stakeholders: farmers´ organizations and other actors and users in the agricultural and rural communities including representatives of ministries with responsibility for agriculture, trade, science & technology, education, finance and the research community. Information should be provided in the form of briefs and should promote technologies and best practices relevant to the needs of the actors and in support of the policy dialogues. The term ´informal´ was not appropriate for a structure of a scientific nature. The newly created group should have consultative powers and provide information to CTA which will, in turn, formulate recommendations, as needed, for the ACP member states on S&T for agricultural and rural development. The name of the group should be the Advisory Committee on Science and Technology for ACP Agricultural and Rural Development. The mandate of the group should eventually extend beyond CTA and draw its legitimacy from the ACP region/group. C CTA should establish a standard communication system to enable members to interact (conferences, electronic discussions) with each other. The name of the group will be the Advisory Committee on Science and Technology for ACP Agricultural and Rural Development. The core group will comprise of persons from the 6 ACP regions, representative of miscellaneous stakeholders, competent professionals in the relevant domains, regional institutions and the Programme Coordinator, Science and Technology Strategies, CTA. The Advisory Committee will serve as an advisory body on Science and Technology with respect to issues impacting on ACP agriculture (including marine resources and forestry) and support CTA in enhancing cooperation and dialogue and encouraging greater integration of Science and Technology strategies in support of ACP agricultural and rural development. The Advisory Committee will meet once annually and as needed at the request of CTA to dialogue on emerging issues and trends impacting on ACP agriculture (including marine resources and forestry), chart the S&T work programme / areas of emphases for the upcoming year/s and finalize any position papers which need to be presented to relevant international agencies to influence decision making in a timely manner. The Advisory Committee will from time to time during the year provide alerts and information on relevant S&T issues and contribute to developing policy guidelines / positions and S&T strategies for achieving sustainable development with respect to the attainment of food security goals, improved productivity at the farm level and national and regional /or international competitiveness. These guidelines will be circulated to member governments and institutions through the focal points on S&T to galvanize wider dialogue on the issues and strategies. The final positions will be posted on the CTA web site | en_US |
