Excited to see the launch of UK CGIAR centre, with FCDO Research, Science and Technology support, building on UK support to CGIAR. The new centre will draw on UK scientific strengths to generate nutritious resilient crops, innovations and evidence to strengthen food systems and prevent hunger.

Wonderful to celebrate the achievements from FCDO Research, Science and Technology investments in climate resilient biofortified crops, that are now an important source of nutritious food in developing countries.

Who else is attending the #KenyaInnovationWeek? If you're, the UK, Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) and Anza Village will jointly host the Intellectual Property Rights summit tomorrow from 2pm at the event. If you're working on an idea, you can pass by to learn how to protect it. #UK-KIW #UKAid

Wonderful to see Emmy Chirchir and Fran Davies from FCDO Research, Science and Technology UK in Kenya 🇬🇧🇰🇪 on Citizen TV Kenya, speaking about guidance on Intellectual Property Protection, launched at Kenya Innovation Week 2024. We hope that this is a useful resource for Kenya’s amazing innovators.

Wonderful to be at Adriano development conference, bringing together Fcdos senior leadership from around the world, to discuss how to deliver the white paper. Includes a panel discussion on the importance of data, innovation & science FCDO Research, Science and Technology #fcdocsa

"Innovation for food & nutrition security already saves millions of lives... With the climate crisis rapidly escalating, the global community needs to continue supporting...research to better meet the needs of people & planet.” Andrew Mitchell at #COP28 tinyurl.com/ywdsnbf3

Continuing to walk-the-talk today, during the Funders’ Roundtable at COP28 UAE that we hosted with Community Jameel and Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA) to drive investments in action-oriented #research for #adaptation that meets the needs of the most vulnerable.

I'm proud that the UK has pledged new FCDO Research, Science and Technology funding for CGIAR. #Innovation in ag & food systems is critical to address the triple crises of global food insecurity, climate change and biodiversity loss. tinyurl.com/ywdsnbf3 #COP28 Gates Foundation USAID
