IFPRI's national workshop unveiled new research-based evidence to accelerate progress on the SDGs.
In response to Bangladesh’s Country Investment Plan for agriculture, food security, and nutrition, the USAID-funded Policy Research and Strategy Support Program (PRSSP) has been providing demand-driven food- and agricultural-policy research since 2010, focusing on seven key areas:
