El objetivo del proyecto es contribuir al fortalecimiento de la institucionalidad relacionada con el desarrollo de las capacidades agroempresariales y organizativas de los productores y agroempresarios para vincularse de manera rentable, sostenible y competitiva al mercado en Ecuador, Guatemala y Paraguay
The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of agricultural technical school (ATS) instructors in Egypt related to implementing experiential learning in the form of internships. In July 2007, 90 ATS instructors attended workshops focused on conducting internship experiences. Self–perceived competency of ATS instructors to implement internships was assessed immediately following inservice training. Approximately a year later (June 2008), ATS instructors’ self–perceived importance and application of internship competencies were assessed. A discrepancy score was also calculated.
Les enjeux liés au changement climatique et à la sécurité alimentaire confortent la nécessité de mettre au point des démarches de conception/évaluation de systèmes durables, qu’il s’agisse d’améliorer les situations existantes ou d’imaginer de nouvelles voies de développement. En régions chaudes, l’élevage remplit aussi des fonctions non productives et doit s’adapter aux aléas et incertitudes.
This book reports on the Papa Andina Partnership Program, which has been an especially innovative and productive regional initiative, bringing together researchers, small farmers, diverse market actors, and dozens of organizations in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru to spur innovation in public policies, potato products, and value market chains.
Esta edición de la Revista de Desarrollo Económico Territorial trae tres temas centrales, tres estudios de caso y tres reseñas enfocadas en Cadenas de Valor en la agricultura. Loss temas centrales discutidos son: "De cadenas de mercancias (commodities) a cadenas de valor: construcciones teóricas en una época de globalización"; "La industria de aceite de palma en Ecuador: ¿un buen negocio para los pequeños agricultores?" y "Guayaquil y la región: desarrollo territorial e inclusión social".
The authors engaged in iterative cycles of mixed methods research around particular questions, actions relevant to stakeholders, new proposal formulation and implementation followed by evaluation of impacts. Capacity building occurred among farmers, technical personnel, and students from multiple disciplines. Involvement of research users occurred throughout: women and men farmers, non-governmental development organizations, Ministries of Health and Agriculture, and, in Ecuador, the National Council on Social Participation
Papa Andina began as a regional research program focusing on the Andean potato sectors of Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, but later shifted its focus to facilitating pro-poor innovation. To accomplish this shift, a number of approaches were developed to foster innovation, by facilitating mutual learning and collective action among individuals and groups with differing, often conflicting, interests.
Con este documento, el MAGAP y el IICA buscan difundir una metodología que permite fortalecer las capacidades de comercialización de pequeños productores, comparar las lecciones aprendidas de su implementación y apoyar así el esfuerzo de instituciones públicas, gobiernos autónomos descentralizados y entidades que persiguen el desarrollo de sus territorios.
This Training of Trainers Manual is designed to help build the capacity of trainers in flash flood risk management, who can then disseminate the knowledge to a larger number of practitioners. The manual presents an eight-day course including a three-day field trip. Detailed lesson plans for 21 sessions are followed by resource materials that will enable the trainers to replicate the course in their own work areas.
