=<span style="line-height: 1.5;">Introduction to the Workshop</span>= 
<span style="line-height: 1.5;">N2Africa is a large scale, science-based “research-in-development” project focused on putting nitrogen fixation to work for smallholder farmers growing legume crops in Africa. Its vision of success is to build sustainable, long-term partnerships to enable smallholder farmers to benefit from symbiotic N2-fixation by grain legumes through effective production technologies (including improved seeds, inoculants and fertilizers), efficient input supply chains and market linkage.</span>

As a mode of implementation, N2Africa has developed and is coordinating Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) with different public, private and development legume value chain actors to ensure long-term sustainability of knowledge transfer, legume technology dissemination, efficient input supply chains and access to markets. These partnerships are composed of multi-stakeholders and are clustered based on the priority legume crops and geographical areas. Although detailed evaluations and further syntheses of the partnerships are to be undertaken at some reasonable partnership period, encouraging progresses were made in legume technology development and dissemination, knowledge transfer and in input supply chain development and grain marketing. However, there are differences in the scale of operations (along the value chain functions) and level of coordination among the partnership clusters reflecting their differences in the level of performances and maturity.
Besides the formal regional partners meetings and the more frequent small-scale task force meetings at local levels within each partnership clusters, it is important to organize Annual National Partners Review and Planning Workshop as a regular annual stakeholders’ platform to engage with all partners to review achievements, lessons, challenges and set out clear future directions for increased performance and sustainability of impacts.
=Objectives of the Workshop= 
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">To critically review and understand the level of performances of the partnership clusters in terms of technology dissemination, knowledge transfer, input supply and grain market access.</span>
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">To discuss challenges faced, lessons learnt and to make an overall monitoring and evaluation of the partnership processes eventually culminating into the development of work plan for 2016 fiscal year at each partnership cluster.</span>

=Expected Outputs= 
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Partnership achievements and progresses will be presented and reviewed</span>
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Experiences and lessons learnt will be shared among the different partnership clusters</span>
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Potential challenges and opportunities will be identified and considered in the annual planning for possible solutions </span>
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Clear future directions will be set and partnerships will be further comprehended and strengthened</span>
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Annual work plans will be developed and agreed among cluster partners</span>
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Agreed processes to monitor and evaluate specific partnerships’ activities and results</span>

=Process to meet expected outputs= 
* <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Presentations, focused meetings and group discussions between and within each partnership clusters. Partners will come with their respective cluster joint PowerPoint and/or poster presentations (few lead firms and input companies will make separate poster presentation), highlights and issues to stipulate discussions (progresses with implementation of activities, synergies with stakeholders- initiatives/plans to pull together efforts; undertakings within the legume value chain, challenges and suggested solutions, future directions)</span>
