Este video ilustra los objetivos y el trabajo de la Plataforma de la Agricultura Tropical (TAP), una iniciativa del Grupo de los Veinte (G20) respaldada por la Unión Europea para mejorar la eficiencia y eficacia de los programas de desarrollo de capacidades y el intercambio de conocimientos con el fin de fortalecer los sistemas de innovación agrícola en los trópicos y subtrópicos. La Secretaría de la TAP está albergada en la Unidad de Investigación y Extensión de la Oficina de Innovación de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO).
This paper provides background information and introduce the topics of the conference "Innovation systems for food security and nutrition: understanding the capacities needed". Organized by the Tropical Agriculture Platform, the conference aimes at bringing together the issues of capacity development, agricultural innovation, and food security and nutrition with the objective of developing recommendations for policy-making.
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 flyer provides an overview of the TAP Common Framework on Capacity Development (CD) for Agriculture Innovation System (AIS). The objective of the Common Framework is to consolidate the different approaches to CD for AIS, and make interventions more coherent and effective. Approved by TAP Partners in January 2016, the Common Framework is now being validated in 8 pilot countries in Africa, Asia and Central America.

This study wants to analyse the extent to which the different research and innovation (R&I) instruments designed under the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural productivity and sustainability (EIP-AGRI) look for synergies and intensify effective linkages with each other to strengthen the respective dynamics. The study is based on a case study representing the Italian EIP-AGRI system. Data are collected through direct interviews, semistructured questionnaires, focus groups and workshops.
The aim of this research is to explore the different policy frameworks adopted by the Italian regions to support cooperation for innovation projects in RDPs in the period 2007-2013. These were analysed against the conceptual background outlined by the European Commission and the international literature on the interactive approach to innovation processes (EC, 2013). The study is supported by the use of a mixed-methods approach, based on desk and on field research, qualitative and quantitative methods
This paper is aimed at raising the discussion on frameworks and practices to analyse and support of innovation processes of operational groups in rural development policy. The analysis highlights an increasing interest of the current evaluation and research practices on interactive innovation processes, collaborative learning and capacity development both at individual, collective and systems levels. Particularly, transformative-oriented frameworks have been developed in view of supporting capacity development in innovation systems
