Just Rural Transition (JRT)

Forging partnerships for sustainable food systems

CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains

Influencing policy in global resource management 

NEXUS Gains aimed to improve the integrated management of resources across the water–energy–food–environment (WEFE) nexus to achieve inclusive, sustainable development. It operated across five transboundary river basins with a value of US$20 million. Building on our work with the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems, Scriptoria led communications for NEXUS Gains to drive engagement, amplify research and enhance policy influence.

Timeframe: 2022–2024  

Our approach 

Scriptoria developed and implemented a communications strategy for the initiative, which included promoting solutions through digital and social media content, and producing a successful webinar series. We also helped researchers to translate their work into accessible materials including learning modules, blogs and impact stories. 

Impact 

Our work raised awareness of decision-support tools to help governments and investors address trade-offs and synergies across interlocking sectors. It also helped to promote nexus solutions at key global events such as the United Nations climate change conferences (COPs).

Tropical Legumes

Disseminating research on climate-resistant crops  

The Tropical Legumes projects, a US$67 million series of initiatives, operating in 15 countries and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, helped to develop, produce and distribute high-yielding, climate-resilient food legume varieties to millions of farmers in drought-prone regions of South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Scriptoria supported Tropical Legumes III in communicating 12 years of impact.

Timeframe: 2020–2021  

Our approach 

Scriptoria conceptualised, designed and built the Tropical Legumes Hub – a legacy website featuring an interactive map, fully searchable library including 100s of resources from across the projects, and a data hub visualising seed production and survey data. The hub brought together diverse information tailored for donors, policymakers, researchers and general audiences. 

Impact 

Our work ensured that key data and resources remained accessible and impactful beyond the project’s close, and created a lasting digital legacy to support ongoing research and policy development.
