Partner and Stakeholder Collaboration. ‌ Productive and close working collaborations continue to be a priority for GRAIN in order to reach identified project goals and objectives. Technical teams and management meet regularly to maintain open and informed communication lines, while communications with MAIL, ARIA, and XXXX leadership and research staff, as well as GRAIN’s four provincial partner universities, are in the form of electronic outreach and frequent face-to-face meetings. At a minimum, bi- weekly meetings were held with the ARIA Director General to provide program updates on activities, seek administrative input, and coordinate future planning and implementation. Similarly, meetings convened with Deputy Minister of MAIL, University Deans, and XXXX project representatives served as a forum for GRAIN leadership to coordinate and monitor program implementation. Highlights of these meetings for this quarter include: a meeting with Deputy Minister of MAIL on 01 March that provided updates on progress and achievements to date and a meeting with the CAAI DCOP on 05 January to discuss opportunities for Agriculture and Veterinary Institute (AVI) recent graduates to join GRAIN’s Internship Program this year, as a novel partnership between the two projects; the two implementing partners agreed that GRAIN would offer five spots (two women0 to CAAI AVI graduates in Kabul, Balkh, Nangarhar, and Herat from February to November 2020. This was followed by another meeting with Deputy Minister of MAIL on 17 March that facilitated discussion on the research and extension activities planned in program year three.

Partner and Stakeholder Collaboration. ‌ Appreciating the value of close collaborative associations, GRAIN technical teams and management continued close communications and met regularly with leadership from MAIL, ARIA, DAIL, and the four partner universities, in Kabul and the provinces. At a minimum, bi- weekly meetings were convened with the ARIA Director General to provide program updates on activities, seek administrative guidance, and coordinate future planning and implementation. There was also regular face-to-face interaction with ARIA research scientists, and facilitation of field visits to monitor technical implementation and seek feedback. Similar meetings were held in Balkh, Nangarhar, and Herat provinces by GRAIN regional managers, to keep MAIL staff involved and updated with regard to program activities. A meeting with the Deputy Minister of Irrigation and Natural Resources on June 7, provided updates on GRAIN progress and accomplishments, as did another with the MAIL Spokesman and Communications Advisor on May 22.

Partner and Stakeholder Collaboration. ‌ Cognizant of the value of close coordination and communications, GRAIN leadership dedicated significant time this quarter to maintain current relations and broaden outreach to build new linkages among and between its counterparts at MAIL and provincial DAIL offices. At minimum, bi-weekly meetings were convened with ARIA DG to provide program updates and canvass administrative and technical feedback to facilitate smooth implementation of activities related to GRAIN program support. Additionally, weekly forums for ARIA researchers and scientists were arranged to coordinate and monitor program technical implementation. Similar meetings were held in Nangarhar, Balkh, and Herat provinces by GRAIN Regional Managers, to keep MAIL staff involved and updated with regard to program activities. As a highlighted this quarter, on 12 November, the GRAIN DCoP and Wheat Research Director met with the Acting Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Livestock to provide updates on recent activities, particularly regarding progress made in program planning during the GRAIN leadership workshop held in Dubai on 25-27 October. This was followed by a meeting held in Dubai on 5-6 December with the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Livestock and the ARIA DG to discuss future program planning and mechanisms for effective communications between MAIL, ARIA, GRAIN, CIMMYT, and other partners. In this meeting, it was agreed that moving forward starting in Q2, regular monthly meetings will be held among ARIA, GRAIN, CIMMYT, and RSI to ensure everyone is kept informed. The transition of international staff out of country and the resulting management and implementation changes, necessitated a workshop for all GRAIN senior leaders and partners from RSI, PIRM, and CIMMYT, held in Dubai on 25-27 October. The purpose of the three-day workshop was for GRAIN program leadership and implementing partners to further program planning for PY3, discuss and develop solutions to challenges anticipated based on the new GRAIN program implementation and management planning, reflect on lessons learned from PY1-2, and further strengthen team cohesion and morale. The workshop agenda was set to allow ample time for small group work, resulting in detailed weekly planning for Q1-2 implementation and draft revisions to guiding GRAIN internal policies.
