To improve information sharing and promote networking, CTA, the DG DEVCO from the European Commission, the ACP Secretariat, Concord and various media organize bimonthly briefings on key issues and challenges for rural development in the context of EU/ACP cooperation.

The Briefing on 20th May 2015, organised with IFPRI-Led CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), will discuss the key challenges and new opportunities to strengthen linkages between agriculture and nutrition in ACP countries.

The Briefing will:

• Share the latest evidence on progress in improving nutrition in ACP countries;
• Promote the exchange of information on best practices and sustainable partnerships;
• Feed into the debate various perspectives on policy options.

The target group consists of more than 150 ACP-EU policy-makers and representatives of EU Member States, civil society groups, research networks and development practitioners, and international organisations based in Brussels.
Knowledge Broker Klaas de Vries will represent the Food & Business Knowledge Platform during this Brussels Briefing.
