Principles of Engagement

The following Principles of Engagement embody the values that govern the way we are approaching this E-Forum.

Those involved in this E-Forum do so with the assurance that SGS, FAC and IDS are committed to providing the opportunity for participants to interact, with these expectations:

This E-Forum provides a space for people to exchange constructive opinions and experiences to assess the most critical issues and to review, refine and articulate an agenda for a new sustainable “Green Revolution” for Sub-Saharan Africa.
We hope to identify and understand the diversity of perspectives, values and interests that can help contribute practicable insights and experiences on both policy and practice.
The SGS, FAC and IDS have no authority to impose our points of view on any contributor and will not seek to edit any submissions in relation to their thematic content or opinion.
We will, however, reserve the right to edit submissions according to their relevance to the discussion and for language. Slanderous, obscene or incomprehensible correspondence will not be admitted.
The E-Forum will strive to identify where it can best help to guide the flow of discussion. The objective will be to help develop areas of common ground on topical themes, understand where differences exist and the underlying reasons for them.
Participating in and contributing to this exchange of views does not and will not be portrayed as an endorsement of the Salzburg Conference report or related project, or the work of SGS, FAC or IDS.
To assure a free, open and constructive debate, only fully credited submissions (where authors give their full name and contact details) will be accepted.
Contributors may, if they so choose, request to make alterations or additions to their submissions after they have been posted on the E-Forum website and we will endeavour to update their contributions efficiently.
At the end of this E-Forum, we will ensure that all contributors will receive a synthesis report of the discussion.

Send your submissions of no more than 500 words in length to AfricanAg@future-agricultures.org. Comments should be short, provocative and challenging.

Please focus your contribution on action-oriented approaches to address the “how” part of the African Green Revolution discussions.
