Capacity For Change: Common Framework on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems - Conceptual Background

The Conceptual Background provides an in-depth analysis of the conceptual underpinnings and principles of the TAP Common Framework. It is also available in French and Spanish.

The objective of the TAP Common Framework is to promote better coherence and greater impact of capacity development in support of agricultural innovation in the tropics. Developed in 2015 through a highly participatory process, it was agreed that the Framework should provide conceptual underpinnings and practical guidance. 

The TAP Common Framework is currently being tested in 8 pilot countries (Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Laos, Rwanda) through the CDAIS project, implemented by FAO and Agrinatura with financial support from the European Union.
