• Research partners – work with us to generate knowledge and innovations.

• Out and up-scaling partners - collate and translate knowledge to action.

• Capacity development and education partners - strengthen capacity for agroforestry science, innovations and practice.

• Policy link and facilitative partners - influence or decide on policy.

• Investors - normally national governments, private sector and donors investing in agroforestry.

We have long-term partnerships with organizations that share our interest in the potential for agroforestry to work towards poverty alleviation, food security, and environmental sustainability. These partnerships are formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding.

Many partnerships exist in relation to a specific project and operate for the duration of the project period only. These partnerships are formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding or a Letter of Agreement.

Scientist-to-scientist partnerships usually take the form of communities of practice where scientists identify and work with their peers. Those involved may formalize their collaboration through exchanging letters of agreement.
