Subject: [Prolinnova] ALINe launches Farmer Voice Innovation Awards!

Dear colleague,

Have you developed a successful way of listening systematically to farmers?

If so
- Do you have experience other agencies could learn from?
- Do you want to learn from other agencies?
- Do you want access to additional resources and support?

You could be eligible for one of ALINe's Farmer Voice Innovation Awards

We aim to make 10 awards to organisations for innovations in managing farmer voice.

Award winners will receive:

* Recognition as an innovator in the field and exposure to influential agencies and donors
* An honorarium to write up the innovation and share it with a sector-wide audience
* Peer learning opportunities, to share learning about emerging best practices with other innovators and help shape the wider debate
* Technical input from ALINe to help develop innovations further
* 2 Award winners will be offered a free, independent and rigorous evaluation to assess impact and learn more about what works.
