El proyecto CDAIS, implementado por FAO y Agrinatura con el apoyo financiero de la Unión Europea. sostiene la innovación en la agricultura a través del mejoramiento de las capacidades funcionales de los individuos, de las organizaciones y de los sistemas. Reúne a los diferentes socios y utiliza un ciclo de aprendizaje permanente para responder a los desafíos y oportunidades dentro y fuera de los “nichos de innovación” seleccionados en ocho países pilotos de América Central, África y Asia.
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;
This policy brief deals with the following points: (i) Given the importance of agriculture and the rural medium for countries’ growth and development, policy makers must strengthen the institutional structure of rural extension and increase public and private investment; (ii) Abundant natural resources, knowledge, technology, and extensionists are not enough.

This flyer expresses the idea that Agricultural knowledge, science and technology (AKST) cannot be achieved through business as usual and that nstitutions are needed that can drive efforts in the face of unprecedented challenges. The discussed key questions are: How have institutions shaped the development of AKST? What are their impacts on sustainable and equitable development? Which institutional arrangements have the greatest potential to drive and deliver sustainability and development goals?

The flyer points up an overview of: (i) new approaches to capacity building and institutional change; (ii) ICRA’s role in the South; (iii) ICRA’s role in the North and in linking South and North.
This flyer is about the AgriFood chain toolkit, which has been launched in 2013 by the CGIAR programme on Policies, institutions and markets.The AgriFood chain toolkit acts as a clearing house and learning platform – using the power of information and communication technologies to bring together people and resources.
This short note discusses the innovation platforms in their potential functions and benefits, with references to southern Africa countries. The initial consideration is that, although appropriate technologies and farming strategies to increase production in small-scale crop-livestock systems exist, farmers often have little or no incentive to invest in these.
