More CGIAR scientists should be put through this exercise. I am always amazed at how lousy we scientists are at communicating with policy makers--then we write learned articles blaming them for "lack of commitment" etc. When I explain to people what I do as a consultant now, I often include helping scientists communicate with policy makers. The Nile BDC program had some success in this--but follow-up by the scientists is an issue. Thanks for doing this.
