Enhancing the effectiveness of multistakeholder platforms: Final report

The “Enhancing the effectiveness of multistakeholder platforms” research program looked at current evidence and perceptions on how effectively multi-stakeholder platforms (MSPs) contribute to agrifood (system) transitions to sustainability. Much is invested in MSPs as a way to respond to complex challenges. While there is a great need to assess their effectiveness, there is no robust way of doing so. The project worked with platforms to see how to credibly assess their contribution, so they can become more effective. In doing so it developed readily applicable guidelines that agrifood MSPs can work with, largely using existing capacities and data
