Ce document fait le bilan du projet de recherche-action Agora dédié au renforcement de la gouvernance de services publics dans des communes du Bénin, du Burkina Faso et du Mali. Mené par Cités Unies France, le Gret, le Laboratoire Citoyennetés et plusieurs partenaires locaux de 2011 à 2014, Agora a couplé des phases de recherche, d’animation et d’apprentissage à la concertation entre les opérateurs, élus, agents de services techniques et usagers. Il se caractérise par la participation effective d’une équipe de chercheurs au dispositif de concertation.
To support the multi-stakeholder process in Burundi, the national research institute ISABU (Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Bu-rundi) was requested to act as the facilitating organisation. ISABU had previously partnered with the CGIAR centres in Burundi under the CIALCA program that had supported partnerships to coordinate activities and stimulate demand-driven research. With the aim of building on existing collaboration and activities, it was decided to re-engage with former CIALCA partners, including ISABU.
This case study zooms in on multi-stakeholder processes in the East and Central Africa (ECA) Action Area or Flagship that were launched on 20 May 2013 in Bukavu, DR Congo. The ECA Flagship encom-passes the Rwanda, DR Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia Action Sites. More specifically, the case study describes and reflects upon the first two years of CGIAR Humidtropics in DR Congo. aiming to outline the multi-stakeholder process as it unfolded and highlight lessons that can be learned from this.
Humidtropics adopts an integrated systems perspective. Instead of tar-geting one single pre-selected commodity and trying to boost its produc-tivity at farm level, Humidtropics focuses on stimulating productivity, nat-ural resource management (NRM) and institutional innovations across different levels in order to achieve more sustainable impacts. It consid-ers all farm enterprises and their interactions, as well as nutrition, social differentiation (e.g.
Este estudio apunta a reducir estas brechas de conocimiento al generar información clave que muestre de una forma clara un mapa de la cadena productiva de banano criollo a nivel nacional con los principales actores, además de identificar los principales cuellos de botella que están afectando la eficiencia actual de la cadena. Para esto se está trabajando con dos casos de estudio la Asociación de Pequeños Productores de Talamanca (APPTA) y la Asociación de Campesinos Productores Orgánicos (ACAPRO).
En esta investigación se analizan y aportan evidencias acerca de la concepción y metodología de cadenas productivas o redes de valor aplicadas al café, así como su utilidad para la integración vertical de productores y sus organizaciones. En estos procesos de agregación de valor e innovaciones en la cadena tiene un papel fundamental la creación de redes de participación y autogestión de actores, en la perspectiva de lo que se denomina como enredamiento para el desarrollo sustentable.
The brochure summarizes main features and goals of the EU funded CDAIS project, jointly implemented by FAO and AGRINATURA to support the Action Plan of the Tropical Agriculture Platform.
The key concepts and definitions of this brief provide a common point of reference to inform the formulation of the TAP Common Framework on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems.
The first phase in the development of the Common Framework on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation systems (CD for AIS) consisted of the review of the existing literature, building up a repository of relevant documentation on agricultural innovation in general and AIS and CD for AIS. This report summarizes this first phase. In particular, Section 1 covers this brief introduction. Sections two and three focus on the review of relevant literature, presenting the methodology used and the structure of the repository itself.
Les changements climatiques sont intimement liés à l’agriculture et à la sécurité alimentaire. En effet, on peut considérer l’agriculture à la fois comme acteur, victime et sauveur des changements climatiques. Malgré ce triple rôle évident, l’agriculture n’apparait pas en tant que telle dans les négociations.
