On ”Inclusive Innovation” how do we translate this term in our work

Sida’s Research support considers “Inclusive Innovation” aspects, those which overall aim and focus on:

• Reducing poverty and achieving the MDGs and which are in line with the Sida Research Policy and Strategy 2010-2014.

• Hence - programs that aim to improve quality of life in ways such as by aiming to improve access to health, access to clean water, access to affordable energy, emphasizes on the use of modern biosciences to improve crop productivity, increase the efficiency of the agro-processing industries, etc.

Some key aspects and questions we ask ourselves –

• How can we improve our support in this area

• What is the role of Research Capacity – what should be supported, at what stages

• Gender Inclusivenes, balance, dimensions
