Learning Agenda & Knowledge Generation

• Fostering learning. Develop and implement a learning and knowledge management strategy to systematically capture, analyze, and share insights from RA-PURE initiatives.

• Support evidence-based decision making for the program through opportunity assessments, synthesizing research and aligning evidence dissemination with the needs of partners and stakeholders to drive replication and scaling efforts

• Establish metrics, tools, and methodologies to assess project impact, innovation adoption, and market transformation. Identify scalable best practices, case studies, and knowledge gaps to shape future interventions and investment decisions.

• Work closely with the Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) and Communication team through close follow up and coordination of their work to ensure learnings are data-driven and linked to impact measurement frameworks.

Capacity Building & Stakeholder Engagement

• Design and deliver training programs, workshops, and peer-to-peer learning exchanges for project partners, policymakers, cooperatives, and private sector actors.

• Strengthen the capacity of farmers, processors, and value chain actors to integrate RA-PURE solutions effectively.

• Collaborate with academic institutions, research organizations, and industry experts to bridge knowledge gaps, drive innovation, and promote cross-sector collaboration.

• Establish and support multi-stakeholder platforms to facilitate cross-sectoral learning and engagement.

Knowledge Sharing & Strategic Communication

• Develop learning products such as case studies, reports, toolkits, and policy briefs, to disseminate key findings and best practices.

• Lead the creation of an RA-PURE knowledge hub, providing a repository for research, tools, case studies, and sectoral insights.

• Organize cross-country learning events, exchange visits, and knowledge-sharing workshops. Coordinate task of communications and advocacy teams to design campaigns, stakeholder engagement materials, and strategic knowledge-sharing events.

• Represent the project in conferences, policy dialogues, and learning forums to elevate RA-PURE solutions and sector-wide learning.

Adaptive Learning & Continuous Improvement

• Promote iterative learning cycles, ensuring project strategies evolve based on real-time evidence, feedback, and field experiences.

• Facilitate reflection sessions and after-action reviews to continuously refine program interventions and policy recommendations.

• Coordinate the M&E team work to integrate learning outcomes into project decision-making and strategy adjustments.

• Foster a culture of innovation and experimentation, supporting pilot initiatives and rapid learning processes.

Policy Influence & Institutional Strengthening

• Support policy engagement and advocacy efforts by translating learning insights into policy recommendations that enhance RA-PURE integration.

• Strengthen institutional frameworks by ensuring evidence-based decision-making shapes sectoral policies, financing mechanisms, and investment priorities.

• Engage with government agencies, donors, private sector actors, and multi-stakeholder platforms to drive alignment on RA-PURE knowledge and sector transformation.
