In global health and development, research is now more than ever about partnership across countries and disciplines. Research organisations and funders are increasingly prioritising equity and inclusiveness when developing programmes, but what does this look like in practice? How can equitable partnerships be constructed, implemented and evaluated? 

This webinar will dive into the challenges of equity in research partnerships tackling global agriculture, food systems and nutrition research.  We will present a moderated discussion from key experts who are challenging the status quo of what equity and inclusion means, and open the conversation to participants following.

This webinar will be hosted by the Agriculture, Nutrition and Health (ANH) Academy in partnership with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
