- In collaboration with key stakeholders co-analyze GESI related trends in the locations of the projects and co-develop strategies to address these findings.
- Develop and communicate GESI achievements based on data and research.
- Map policy-relevant stakeholders, develop a communications strategy, and manage and coordinate outreach that corresponds to established baseline on GESI and youth engagement advances, gaps and opportunities in agribusiness interventions.
