Dear Friends,

2023 was filled with significant milestones, compelling insights, and a revitalized perspective as AWARD entered a new chapter. Not only did we mark 15 years since our founding, but we also launched our new roadmap for sustained success. Driven by lessons and urgency, our Strategy 2023-2027 reinforces our promise to foster agricultural-driven transformation for equitable agrifood systems, emphasizing gender responsiveness as a critical lever. As we go into 2024, I am thrilled to highlight some key moments that immensely impacted our 2023.
