Ce document examine les approches suivies actuellement en ce qui concerne le renforcement des capacités commerciales dans les pays africains. Ce but est de:
Identifier des mécanismes permettant de promouvoir un processus de formulation de la politique commerciale de type participatif et de l’intégrer dans les stratégies nationales de développement et de lutte contre la pauvret.
Etudier le rôle que pourraient jouer les donneurs en facilitant et en soutenant le processus d’élaboration de la politique commerciale.
Dans le contexte de la RAD, le renforcement des capacités est vu comme un processus de développement continu, et non comme une activité de formation ponctuelle. Ce processus améliore les interactions, instaure la confiance et crée des synergies entre des instituts de recherche et des acteurs des secteurs public et privé, des petits agriculteurs et des organismes de développement.
El propósito de esta herramienta es que las personas tomen conciencia de la forma diferente en que hombres y mujeres construyen su identidad, y que comprendan que dicha identidad es el resultado de un largo proceso de socialización.
This manual describes a number of tools that can be used in courses to facilitate the process of reflecting on the knowledge and experiences participants acquire, with the aim of making their leaning more explicit and articulated and contribute to their professional performance in their own working context.
Networks and organizations need to find ways to be more effective in pursuing their objectives and thus seek to “learn” to be able to respond, innovate and adapt to complex, changing social and environmental conditions, thus bringing about social change. An essential capacity for ARD (Agricultural Research for Development) partnerships is therefore the ability to reflect and learn. Learning is not simply about increasing knowledge and skills or changing attitudes; it is about making sense of complexity to act more effectively.
La presente investigación analiza la influencia de las relaciones sociales existentes al interior de un grupo de 22 productores de rambután (Nephelium lappaceum) del Soconusco, Chiapas en 2014. Se analizaron las acciones conjuntas relacionadas con la mejora de la comercialización de su producto. Se empleó la escala de construcción de vínculos relacionales para el trabajo colectivo integrada por los niveles de identificación, aportación, colaboración, cooperación y asociación.
El Programa de Red de Innovación Productiva (RIP) tuvo, entre otros, el objetivo de fomentar y crear las condiciones adecuadas para propiciar la transformación productiva del país.
The article assesses the influence of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the pastoral farming systems in a National Park within the south west of England and more recent attempts to use innovative and participatory techniques to reconcile pastoral farming systems with wildlife management. The paper confirms evidence that the economic sustainability of farm businesses in the UK involved in pastoral farming is reducing, and that wildlife-orientated schemes are changing traditional farming systems in a way that might not be in the long-term interest of wildlife
Scientific research continues to play a significant role in meeting the multiple innovation challenges in agriculture. If this role is to be fulfilled, provision needs to be made for effective translation of research outputs, where translation is understood to be the process whereby science becomes part of useful knowledge for decision making. There is increasing interest in enhancing translation in the European agricultural innovation, research and policy context, and specifically in making it a more collaborative process.
In order to realize the potential of agricultural innovation in family farming, national priorities of sustainably increasing food production and productivity, and reducing hunger and poverty, require rural knowledge institutions to be stronger and communication processes to be improved. This brief synthesizes the focus of FAO’s research and extension branch on transforming agricultural innovation systems of member countries.
