The ILI and IFPRI/KCID (knowledge and capacity strengthening division) top officials conducted a consultative meeting on issues as to how both parties can work together. The two parties agreed to work on issues of collaboration: immediate and long-term in the coming months. Dr. Elias Zerfu (Senior Training and Research Officer, from IFPRI) and one representative from ILI will work on and submit a document in the coming months on the areas of collaboration.
