2nd SPAC report and program responses
- Report of the second meeting of the Livestock and Fish CGIAR Research Program Science and Partnership Advisory Committee, 20-23 May 2013
- Livestock and Fish Program responses to the Science and Partnership Advisory Committee (SPAC) comments following its second meeting, ILRI Addis Ababa, 20-23 May 2013
Agenda
The SPAC agenda is proposed to be constructed around a standing 5 point framework that represents the critical success factors (CSF) agreed at the program leadership retreat in November. This nests key issues within a framework that will assure that the SPAC is able to comment and advise in a manner that is aligned with that of the program. We would expect SPAC to focus much of its attention on the CSF related to science and partnership.
