Questions /suggestions • How do we make sure that the innovation platforms are sustainable after the project is phased out • There is a high staff turnover which affects the work the platforms do • What is the focus of the platform ?is it development of research Responses • We need to think about exist strategies and plans to make sure the platforms continue after projects ended • Many people consider it as a meeting. however it is more than that and we need to link it to practice and for that there is a plan to engage NGOS to fund it • There is a national platform which is linked to the local platforms. There are learning events which will feed in to the national platforms
