This set of guidance notes is designed to support practitioners and evaluators in conducting retrospective evaluations of a capacity development intervention or portfolio to assess and document results. Users will enhance their understanding of the capacity development process, of what works and what does not work in promoting change and to inform future programs. The standard M&E approach for assessing capacity development results has not been sufficient.
These recommendations are a compilation of 2 regional studies at sub-Saharan Africa level which focused on research and technology transfer in the field of rainwater harvesting irrigatio nmanagement on one hand (section 3), and effective policy recommendations on the use of rainwater for off-season small-scale irrigation on the other (section 4). The regional studies upon which this transnational study is based come from the analysis of national studies in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
These advanced training materials have been produced to foster the capacity of practitioners from private, nongovernmental and public sectors on one hand, and academics and scientists on the other, to practically implement cost-efficient RWHI technologies and practices in arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, these training materials intend to provide the required information to support proper planning, design and construction of cost-efficient RWHI technologies and practices, with special emphasis on the specific problems encountered in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
These training materials have been produced to foster the capacity of key members of local communities to practically implement RWHI systems in a cost-efficient manner. The specific target group of these capacity building materials are local community members who are directly involved in the replication and scale-up of RWHI technologies and practices, i.e.
The purpose of this sourcebook is to pull together into a single document a collection of common sense tips and recommendations based on actual practices and experience around the world.
The purpose of this paper is to provide forward-looking recommendations for linking agriculture and nutrition by looking back over the 40 years since both nutrition and rural development began at the Bank in 1973. This paper sets out to explore whether what is currently being suggested has been attempted in the past; in what circumstances, with what sort of support or commitment, by what actors, and with what results.
El objetivo de esta propuesta es presentar el uso de técnicas estadísticas para analizar y evaluar el proceso de adopción de innovaciones tecnológicas. La metodología que se propone incluye escalas cualitativas para analizarse con técnicas multivariadas como prueba de normalidad multivariada, análisis por componentes principales, aglomerados y correlación canónica. El uso de estas herramientas estadísticas se ejemplificó con un estudio de adopción tecnológica realizada con productores de cebada
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal, analizar la cadena agroalimentaria de conservas de tomate natural en la provincia de Matanzas. En la actualidad existen deficiencias en el abastecimiento de alimentos en las cadenas cubanas, se hace necesario mostrar una solución inmediata para elevar la producción y disminuir las brechas en la logística que une la producción primaria con las redes comercializadoras, para ofrecer los alimentos frescos o procesados a los consumidores.
El presente artículo expone una propuesta metodológica para el análisis de la competitividad de Redes de valor agroindustriales. El planteamiento metodológico consiste en tres etapas de análisis circunscritas dentro del Marco Lógico: el diagnóstico de la Red sustentado en las ventajas competitivas y el análisis de las mega tendencias del entorno basado en el método prospectivo estratégico y los modelos de negocios; definición del problema central y su relación causal; y la definición de acciones estratégicas.
