This workshop was organized by the LU team under the patronage of the President of the Lebanese University, Prof. Bassam Badran.
The workshop gathered the national stakeholders selected by the LU project team, coming from different backgrounds and working around the four clusters of Innovative Business Models proposed by PASTINNOVA.
Project objectives, work packages and methodology have been presented, with the inclusive participatory approach through RLLs. The various IBM as initially proposed by LU team were briefly presented while emphasis was given to the two prioritized ones, WADA as an active women association with an important expertise in producing traditional dairy products, and Istaytiyyah farms for their expertise in managing small ruminant farming.
After the presentation, a dynamic discussion took place with a significant contribution of the participating stakeholders with respect to the country context, gaps and project impact for improving the silvopastoralism management and value chains. This discussion reflected the important interest of the stakeholders in supporting the project implementation through their effective participation in the four clusters.
