After several years of active engagement, the Technical Network on Poverty Analysis (THINK-PA) reaches an important milestone as we celebrate its contributions to FAO's programme of work across the last two Strategic Frameworks. Established as a collaborative platform to strengthen analytical capacity, foster dialogue, and promote evidence-based approaches to poverty reduction, THINK-PA has grown into a vibrant community of practice across FAO and beyond. Over this period, THINK-PA convened more than 25 seminars and webinars, bringing together technical experts, country teams, and external partners to advance knowledge on key dimensions of rural poverty and inequality.

These discussions helped shape analytical priorities and informed operational work across regions, as well as research to inform policies and investments. The network also contributed to several important knowledge products, including guidance on poverty reduction analysis, FAO's framework to end poverty, and the Report on Rural Poverty, which laid the groundwork for continued analytical engagement and is currently being updated by ESP. In addition, THINK-PA supported a range of thematic publications and dialogues addressing emerging priorities, including hard-to-reach populations, "Anticipating shocks through social protection", and "Fiscal policy repurposing as a tool to enable healthy diets", many of which were facilitated through the SCOPE initiative.

These efforts strengthened FAO's role as a thought leader in inclusive agrifood systems transformation and helped bridge the gap between technical analysis and policy dialogue. Having fulfilled its mandate, THINK-PA will formally conclude its activities as a network. Looking ahead, FAO and ESA are building on this legacy by converging toward new tools and communication channels to further disseminate knowledge and foster engagement. Alongside seminars and technical discussions, new formats — including podcasts, blogs, and interactive knowledge platforms — will expand outreach, promote cross-divisional collaboration, and bring analytical insights closer to policy processes and country-level action.

As THINK-PA concludes this chapter, its legacy endures in the strengthened analytical culture, partnerships, and evidence base that will continue guiding FAO's work toward ending poverty and achieving inclusive agrifood systems transformation.
