Este informe describe el contexto del Proyecto CATIE- MAGA- NORUEGA, así como los cambios en la vida de los participantes. El documento también describe los éxitos del proyecto y sus factores, las experiencias con las ECA's y los CADER, los limitantes del proyecto y sus factores, las principales lecciones aprendidas para el presente y el futuro y por fin trae recomendaciones para instancias tomadoras de decisión.
Este documento trae herramientas de desarrollo de capacidades enfocadas en la abordaje territorial. Describe el caso de 25 municipios de Alta Verapaz, Baja Verapaz y Chimaltenango, Guatemala.
Este libro busca difundir las lecciones aprendidas y experiencia ganada con este proceso y promover y facilitar la integración y participación de actores locales (organizaciones, asociaciones, cooperativas, familias productoras, etc.) presentes, no solo en los territorios, municipios y comunidades, sino también a nivel nacional.
This paper presents the common framework on CD for AIS developed by TAP and points to the relevance of meta-learning and the importance of “functional capacities”, if higher education institutions and their graduates are to become active players in the agricultural innovation system. The Framework was developed through an inclusive, participatory and multi-stakeholders approach with contributions by TAP Partners, including FARA and the Global Conference on Higher Education and Research in Agriculture.
Extension and advisory services (EAS) play a key role in facilitating innovation for sustainable agricultural development. To strengthen this role, appropriate investment and conducive policies are needed in EAS, guided by evidence. It is therefore essential to examine EAS characteristics and performance in the context of modern, pluralistic and increasingly digital EAS systems. In response to this need, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed guidelines and instruments for the systematic assessment of national EAS systems.
Extension and advisory services (EAS) play a key role in facilitating innovation processes, empowering marginalized groups through capacity development, and linking farmers with markets. Advisory services are increasingly provided by a range of actors and funded from diverse sources. With the broadened scope of EAS and the growing complexity of the system, the quantitative performance indicators used in the past (e.g. related to investment, staffing or productivity) are not adequate anymore to understand whether the system is well-functioning.
The paper, prepared for the "High Level Policy Dialogue on Investment in Agricultural Research for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific" (Bangkok Thailand; 8-9 December 2015), presents the Common Framework on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS).The framework is a core component of the Action Plan of the TAP, a G20 Initiative, aiming to increase coherence and effectiveness of capacity development for agricultural innovation that lead to sustainable change and impact at scale.
