"
articipants from all regions of the world working in RAS or in related fields are welcome at the 10th GFRAS Annual Meeting. Stakeholders from different sectors – public, private, and civil society – are encouraged to register for the meeting, including representatives of farmer organisations, private companies, research and education institutions, development agencies, media and others. In order to guarantee a participatory meeting with a focus on networking and exchange, the number of participants will be limited to approximately 150. If more people register, participants will be selected by the GFRAS Annual Meeting Organising Committee in a way to secure a best possible balance between regions, sub-regions, sector, gender, age and other criteria.
Limited funding is available to sponsor at least one representative per region to attend the meeting. Partner organisations are welcome to sponsor additional participants.
The fee for attending the GFRAS Annual Meeting ranges between USD 200-300 and varies depending on the participant's country of residence. More information can be found under "participation fees".
In total, the maximum number of participants is set at 150 participants. This has financial, logistical, and particularly methodological reasons. A smaller meeting provides more occasions for exchange and the initiation of longer-term partnerships.Out of the 150 people, the GFRAS Secretariat expects to be able to sponsor 10 people. Partner organisations are welcome to sponsor selected participants that are not GFRAS sponsored and would need to come self-funded otherwise. The organising committee has allocated participants to the regions as follows."
