The Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (GFRAS) is embarking on the renewal of its Strategic Framework for 2026-2030, setting the direction for its work in responding to member needs, adapting to external opportunities and constraints, and strengthening its role within Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS). This framework will be developed through a participatory and inclusive process, ensuring broad input from all relevant stakeholders.

To guide this effort, GFRAS is establishing a Core Group/Task Force, which will lead the development of the framework through structured discussions, analysis, and validation processes. The Task Force will ensure that the framework reflects the diversity of the GFRAS community and remains aligned with its mission to enhance advisory services worldwide.

GFRAS is now inviting applications for membership in the Task Force and the Selection Committee. Members of the Task Force will contribute their expertise, support the strategic development process, and engage with the broader GFRAS community. The Selection Committee will oversee a transparent and inclusive selection process to ensure regional and sectoral diversity within the Task Force.

More details on the Terms of Reference can be found in the document below. Applications will be accepted until March 12, 2025, and the selection process will be guided by the outlined criteria and requirements.

This is a unique opportunity for GFRAS members and partners to actively contribute to shaping the future of rural advisory services.
