The Climate-smart dairy systems programme had a dozen scientists and their teams conducting various research projects across Tanzania and Rwanda from 2017-2021. As the programme came to a close, the leadership team was keen to demonstrate the far-reaching impacts of their efforts. Bioversity and CIAT sought out Written Progress to conduct expository research and identify a high-impact strategy for communicating their key results to the right stakeholders.
Courtney Jallo and the Written Progress team began reviewing all programme documentation and outputs, studying each country’s national policy and finance environments, and conducting informant interviews. Through this research, Written Progress developed recommendations of which key findings should be communicated to which policymakers, extension agents, non-profit sectors, and funders to maximize impact.
These preliminary findings were presented and validated in a remote stakeholder workshop. Bioversity and CIAT was so pleased with the results that they re-engaged Written Progress to identify and develop the most effective mechanisms for implementing these recommendations.
Written Progress has successfully identified these mechanisms and is now in the process of working with in-country stakeholders to develop and deploy these communication materials, which will undergo in-depth copyediting before their publication.
I am quite pleased with the outputs of your work. We [now] have a nice set of key messages clearly targeted to different types of stakeholders.
