Formal & Informal Partnership: GIAN & the network |

| Abstract |
Right from its inception, the Honey Bee Network has recognised that the large scale changes in society can be brought about only through formal and informal partnerships.

In this section we will continue to highlight how the Network is expanding its outreach through various partnerships with academic institutions, state governments, international de- velopment organizations including UN bodies besides private corporate foundations. Those reader interested in forging such partnerships to give recognition, respect and reward to grassroots innovators are invited to contact us: (Eds) |

Workshop on Promoting Grassroots Innovation: Present Situation, Chal- lenges, and Policies in Collaboration with UNESCAP, Bangkok, Nov 2020
Grassroots innovation is a modality of inclusive innovation that enables affordable, niche-adapted solutions developed by members of informal sector at community level, like farmers, artisans, workers, mechanics, children etc., to address unmet needs or local problems, often unaided by public sector or actors in the formal sector, including firms, science and technological institutions, and nongovernmental organisations. As a bottom-up approach, grassroots innovation converts the ideas and innovations of knowledge-rich but economically poor individuals and communities into viable means of raising income, addressing social needs, and conserving the environment. In a context of growing income disparity and, especially, economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, every effort should be made to promote grassroots innovation. A variety of policies and strategies of the public sector can serve the emergence, recognition, and diffusion of grassroots innovations. The webinar aimed to raise awareness of the significance of grassroots innovations, provide policymakers with suggestions on how to promote grassroots innovations, and exchange the experience of practitioners within and across the national borders. The webinar was mainly addressed to government officials and other decision makers from Asia-Pacific region, and researchers and civil society stakeholders relevant to the topic are also welcome to participate. The webinar was based on the Workbook on Policies and Strategies for Promoting Grassroots Innovations published by ESCAP, the Grassroots Innovation Augmentation Network (GIAN) and the Honey Bee Network. The objectives of the webinar were to: Establish basic understanding about grassroots innovations: the definition of grassroots innovation; reasons why grassroots innovations matter and worth government support; the emergence, growth, and diffusion of grassroots innovations; different types of grassroots innovations; challenges for grassroots innovators; current policies from government or government-supported organizations to promote grassroots innovations. This part will be based on the experience of the Honey Bee Network over the past three decades of its existence.
Explore policies and strategies to create an enabling environment for grassroots innovations: what can be done by governments, academia, industry, NGOs, etc., to discover, recognize, protect, incubate, and promote grassroots innovations.
