Este poster describe el "Programa Alianza Cambio Andino", sus metas, tiempo de duración, la estrategia empleada, como son realizadas las metodologías participativas en los cuatro países y la contribuición esperada
El documento, además de dar cuenta de lo que ha sido para Oxfam GB su participación en un proyecto como lo es la Alianza de Aprendizaje, plantea una reflexión alrededor de la siguiente pregunta: ¿Hasta dónde el quehacer institucional en el tema de desarrollo empresarial rural -uno de los principales ejes de trabajo de la organización-, se ha visto potenciado debido a la participación en este espacio de la Alianza?
Este documento rescata los procesos de aprendizaje de los cuales la Empresa de Servicios Agropecuarios (EMPSA) ha formado parte y presenta los resultados concretos producto de su participación en la Alianza de Aprendizaje
El presente texto documenta la experiencia de la Alianza de Aprendizaje en Centroamérica durante el periodo comprendido entre el 2003 y el 2007, y brinda reflexiones entorno a los alcances, el camino recorrido y las lecciones que el proceso ha dejado entre sus participantes luego de cuatro años de trabajo.
This paper examines the role of postsecondary agricultural education and training (AET) in sub-Saharan Africa in the context of the region’s agricultural innovation systems. Specifically, the paper looks at how AET in sub-Saharan Africa can contribute to agricultural development by strengthening innovative capacity, or the ability of individuals and organisations to introduce new products and processes that are socially or economically relevant, particularly with respect to smallholder farmers who represent the largest group of agricultural producers in the region.
Ethiopian needs to achieve accelerated agricultural development along a sustainable commercialization path to alleviate poverty and ensure overall national development. In this regard, sustainable commercial of smallholder dairying provides a viable and growing opportunity; with deliberate, appropriate and sustained policy support. A recent empirical analysis concludes however, that Ethiopian smallholder dairy sub-sector has not been able to take-off despite decades of development interventions.
This research refers to the application of a innovation framework to sustainable livestock development research projects in Africa and Asia. The focus of these projects ranged from pastoral systems to poverty and ecosystems services mapping to market access by the poor to fodder and natural resource management to livestock parasite drug resistance.
This synthesis report presents the outputs of the workshop organised by CTA at its headquarters in Wageningen, The Netherlands, 15-17 July 2008.

This learning module on Applying innovation system concept in agricultural research for development has been prepared to serve as a tool in achieving the objective of strengthening the capacity of project staff and other researchers and actors who are believed to have a key role to play in ushering in market-led agricultural transformation. This includes national, regional, international and private sector agricultural researchers, university lecturers, and others engaged in biophysical as well as social science research.
The Sourcebook is the outcome of joint planning, continued interest in gender and agriculture, and concerted efforts by the World Bank, FAO, and IFAD. The purpose of the Sourcebook is to act as a guide for practitioners and technical staff inaddressing gender issues and integrating gender-responsive actions in the design and implementation of agricultural projects and programs. It speaks not with gender specialists on how to improve their skills but rather reaches out to technical experts to guide them in thinking through how to integrate gender dimensions into their operations.
