Developing capacities for agricultural innovation through research and education across Europe and developing countries

This flyer described the collaboration between FAO and Agrinatura and in particular two main areas of activities:

1) Joint implementation of the EU-funded Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS) project from 2015 to 2019, in eight countries: Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Rwanda;

2) Provision of support to the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) in the development and validation of a Common Framework on capacity development (CD) for agricultural innovation systems (AIS).

FAO and Agrinatura renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in March 2020 with new activities in order to ensure the sustainability of CDAIS results and with new opportunities to broaden the scope of the collaboration on strengthening capacities to accelerate agricultural innovation processes and partnerships between universities and research centres throughout Europe and developing countries.
