Every year the SIANI secretariat organizes a meeting to provide an opportunity for members to interact with each other and to reflect on the work-plan for the Secretariat. This year’s theme is End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.  In addition, the program will include presentation of ongoing activities within the SIANI network, insights into the major achievements from the previous year and discussion of the plans for the forthcoming one.  

During this years meeting we will hear from a selection of engaging speakers from within the network who will feedback about their work from Expert Groups, Themes and other areas. One of our keynote speakers is Alexandra Silfverstolpe, Founder & MD, Data Act Lab who will speak about SDG2 which is the theme of the meeting, and we will also listen to Ola Möller, Senior Policy Specialist Agriculture, Sida. Moreover, SIANI will lead a Round Table dialogue consultation with those attending, in order to elicit reflections and comments from those attending the meeting.
