D2.8 Practice Abstracts (Second batch)

SHERPA Practice Abstracts (PA) aim at synthetising and communicating easy to access information to practitioners relevant to the project, such as rural organisations, Local Action Groups, researchers, policymakers, NGOs, etc. In September 2021, the SHERPA project produced 20 PAs based on the experience and knowledge gathered in the first phase of running 21 SHERPA Multi-Actor Platforms (MAPs). The PAs were produced by the Facilitators and Monitors of the 20 SHERPA MAPs established at the beginning of the project. This first batch of PAs is accessible on a dedicated page on the SHERPA website. In September 2023, this second batch of 20 PAs was produced based on the experience and knowledge gathered during the second phase of running 41 SHERPA MAPs. The PAs were produced by the Facilitators and Monitors of the 20 SHERPA MAPs that were established during the second phase of SHERPA in addition to the 21 MAPs established in the first phase. The Facilitators and Monitors have outlined their learnings and recommendations on the process of setting up the MAPs, engaging actors and running activities in a sciencesociety-policy interface
