1. EDI Network and platform to elevate marginalised voices in the agrifood system (with applicability across other systems and sectors)
2. Eight virtual events focused on EDI themes and an in-person ECR event
3. Improved research, monitoring and reporting
4. Network of Network events to support training of other Networks on implementing EDI best practices

You’ll ensure delivery of a professional service through project oversight and monitoring of key project targets. You will be responsible for project oversight and monitoring of key project targets.
