Este breve informe evalua la implementación del proyecto: ''Calidad de la Educación: Desarrollo de capacidades para instituciones de formación pedagógica (ProCalidad)"'. Los evaluadores analizaron los documentos relevantes del proyecto y realizaron entrevistas focalizadas y estructuradas en Alemania y en los dos países socios visitados. Para completar, se realizaron entrevistas a distancia (por teléfono, Skype, Internet) en el contexto de ProCalidad Guatemala.
La presente investigación intenta abordar la dinámica de la cadena triguera argentina. El objetivo del trabajo consistió en recuperar analíticamente algunas experiencias desarrolladas en la última década en relación con la confi guración de nuevas formas de gobernanza en la cadena argentina de trigo. Para ello se caracterizaron las principales estructuras de gobernanza presentes en la citada cadena, explorando bajo qué condiciones surgen aquellas que responden al nuevo contexto competitivo del mercado triguero y cuáles son sus implicaciones en relación con su mejora.
El presente manual está dividido en tres capítulos, cada uno de los cuales aborda diferentes aspectos del cambio climático. En el Capítulo I se presenta brevemente un marco conceptual donde se explica en forma sencilla los principales conceptos teóricos vinculados con la temática de la adaptación al cambio climático. Todos los ejemplos y testimonios que se presentan en este y en los demás capítulos han sido recogidos en los talleres con equipos técnicos y agricultores familiares desarrollados en los países participantes del proyecto.
In the context of an exponential rise in access to information in the last two decades, this special issue explores when and how information might be harnessed to improve governance and public service delivery in rural areas. Information is a critical component of government and citizens’ decision-making; therefore, improvements in its availability and reliability stand to benefit many dimensions of governance, including service delivery.
Este folleto proporciona una visión general del Marco Común de la TAP sobre el Desarrollo de Capacidades (DC) para los Sistemas de Innovación Agrícola (SIA).
This handbook describes the framework and methods for Capacity Assessment (CA) in a practical manner so that JICA’s project management (formulation, implementation, evaluations) is carried out by incorporating a perspective of CD support. This handbook presents perspectives which are necessary when examining what sort of cooperation projects should be formulated for important development issues in the future. Such projects include technical cooperation, and more comprehensive cooperation programs are also under consideration.

This book contains a collection of papers that discuss the experience of an Agricultural Research for Development (AR4D) capacity building program in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The program was the AusAID-funded Agricultural Research and Development Support Facility (ARDSF), which ran for fi ve years from 2007 to 2012, and which sought to improve the delivery of services by agricultural research organisations to smallholder farmers.
There are divergent views on what capacity development might mean in relation to agricultural biotechnology. The core of this debate is whether this should involve the development of human capital and research infrastructure, or whether it should encompass a wider range of activities which also include developing the capacity to use knowledge productively. This paper uses the innovation systems concept to shed light on this discussion, arguing that it is innovation capacity rather than science and technology capacity that has to be developed.
