When I blogged about social media and agriculture at COP15 back in December, the adventure of the CGIAR and its partners at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen had just begun. It was an exciting time with the tag “Copenhagen” gaining the top 10 trending topics on the opening day of the Conference. In the following days, sitting in Rome and watching the #cop15 tag on Twitter was like being in the middle of the crowds demonstrating in the streets.

When Fiona Chandler arrived in Penang, Malaysia, to attend the CGIAR Strategic Communications Workshop, she wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Even after the first dialog session between the Transition Management Team (TMT) and the group of CGIAR communicators had taken place, she felt a clear relationship had yet to be established between the two groups.
“The workshop was only the beginning hopefully to more communication and exchange among the CG colleagues - thank you for bringing us closer together” quote from a workshop participant
