多利益相关者情景构建流程如何有效地将不同的参与者聚集在一起并创建政策制定工具来支持气候变化下发展中国家的可持续发展和促进粮食安全？参与式情景开发过程的有效性凸显了“边界工作”的重要性，“边界工作”一方面将参与生成知识的参与者和组织联系起来，另一方面将基于该知识采取行动的从业者和政策制定者联系起来。本研究报告了有效边界工作标准在东非多利益相关者情景流程中的应用，该流程汇集了一系列区域农业和粮食系统参与者。这种分析使我们能够评估不同参与者将这些场景视为可信、合法和显着的程度，因此更有可能有用。分析显示了这些标准的差距和改进机会，例如场景的量化、注重通过各种渠道和新方法翻译和传达结果，以实现更具包容性和多样化的参与者群体。我们的结论是，将边界工作标准应用于多利益相关者情景流程可以大大提高制定更合适的可持续发展和粮食安全政策的可能性。
How effective are multi-stakeholder scenarios-building processes to bring diverse actors together and create a policy-making tool to support sustainable development and promote food security in the developing world under climate change? The effectiveness of a participatory scenario development process highlights the importance of "boundary work" that links actors and organizations involved in generating knowledge on the one hand, and practitioners and policymakers who take actions based on that knowledge on the other. This study reports on the application of criteria for effective boundary work to a multi-stakeholder scenarios process in East Africa that brought together a range of regional agriculture and food systems actors. This analysis has enabled us to evaluate the extent to which these scenarios were seen by the different actors as credible, legitimate and salient, and thus more likely to be useful. The analysis has shown gaps and opportunities for improvement on these criteria, such as the quantification of scenarios, attention to translating and communicating the results through various channels and new approaches to enable a more inclusive and diverse group of participants. We conclude that applying boundary work criteria to multi-stakeholder scenarios processes can do much to increase the likelihood of developing sustainable development and food security policies that are more appropriate.
