Este documento describes las actividades desarroladas por CGIAR y Colombia que ha servido extremadamente bien como sede para la investigación eco-regional que hace el CIAT y también ha facilitado las transferencias de nuevas tecnologías desde América tropical hasta África al sur del Sahara y el sudeste asiático. Además, la sede del CIAT en Cali ha servido de punto lógico para las operaciones regionales de otros Centros patrocinados por el CGIAR —en particular Bioversity International y el Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo (CIMMYT)
Genetic improvement on local breeds kept by small farmers in developing countries is challenging. Even though good pedigree and performance recording is crucial and an important component of breeding programs, it remain difficult or next to impossible under conditions of subsistence livestock farming. This means that standard genetic evaluations, as well as selection and planning of mating based on estimates of the animals' genotypes, cannot be done at any level in the population of the target breed or genetic group.
Esta es la primera de 4 guías desarrolladas por la Alianza de Aprendizaje; cada una de ellas correspondiente a uno de los cuatro módulos de capacitación aplicados durante el Ciclo de Aprendizaje 2008 – 2010 de la Alianza Nicaragua, con el fin de fotalecer la gestión empresarial de organizaciones de productores y sus proveedores de servicios empresariales mediante un proceso sólido de seguimiento y evaluación, el cual permita sistematizar los cambios significativos generados en el proceso de fortalecimiento y generar lecciones aprendidas.

This document aims to guide a small team tasked to assess the capacity for agricultural innovation in a multi-stakeholder context. The context might be an actual or potential “innovation platform” such as the three commodity-based platforms selected for the piloting capacity assessment methods, or it might be a project or programme that is more generally focused on strengthening of innovation within a subsector of agriculture within a country, such as livestock or horticulture.
