It is my first time to attend an MLE CoP and it has been a learning process from the first day. Our project has just started. We are in the process of developing tools and undertaking baseline study. Not only is it a broad project that covers agriculture, nutrition and market linkages, but it also involves many partners. This meeting is helping me see clearly how I can link everything and draw from experiences of others. I have met other MLE staff who I had not interacted with before. I have learnt from people who already started implementing Feed the Future projects. When they talk about their challenges and how they overcame them, they give me courage for the task ahead.
