The IGAD LPI collaborates with the United Nations University, Maastricht Economic and social Research and training centre on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT), facilitated through the Learning, INnovation and Knowledge (LINK) Initiative – a specialist network of regional innovation policy studies hubs, established by UNU-MERIT and PPLPI, to strengthen the interface between rural innovation studies, policy and practice, and to promote learning on rural innovation policy. Through this partnership the IGAD LPI is also linked to the international community of scholars and policy experts working on innovation policy studies in developing countries.
This collaboration currently has two main thrusts. The first of these is with respect to monitoring policy processes, and the second relates to building capacity to respond appropriately to livestock disease and drought emergencies.
