This training manual, which is based on a methodology developed by FAO’s Research and Extension Unit (OINR), presents a training course on assessing AIS consisting of eight modules.
The experiences shared in this book of Conversations of Change capture the outcomes of three years’ work conducted by the eight CDAIS country teams from Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Laos and Rwanda. Collected between January and March 2019, they provide insights and perspectives of different actors engaged in the different capacity strengthening processes, within individuals and innovation niche partnerships, and at organisational and national level.
El documento se divide en ocho capítulos, en el primero se realiza una introducción al programa ERICA, los antecedentes del proceso y los objetivos que se persiguen. El segundo capítulo presenta un marco de referencia para contextualizar las prácticas de gestión en España, la situación en Colombia, el problema identificado y el marco normativo. El tercero presenta un marco conceptual con algunos de los términos más representativos trabajados en el proyecto.
El presente documento sistematiza, en forma didáctica y sencilla, un temario elemental de contenidos que constituyen una “Guía de capacitación” para que agricultores familiares dedicados a la producción lechera fortalezcan sus capacidades técnicas y organizativas, y que así, con autogestión y participación activa, conviertan los conocimientos en una herramienta para su desarrollo productivo, económico y social.
Pendant des siècles, les agriculteurs, éleveurs, pêcheurs et sylviculteurs ont développé des systèmes agricoles diversifiés, adaptés à leurs conditions locales, en employant des techniques et des pratiques ingénieuses, éprouvées au fil du temps, afin de fournir un ensemble vital de services sociaux, culturels, écologiques et économiques à l'humanité. Ces «Systèmes ingénieux du patrimoine agricole mondial» (SIPAM) sont des paysages d'une beauté remarquable associant la biodiversité agricole à des écosystèmes résilients et à un précieux patrimoine culturel.
La crise alimentaire mondiale de 2008 a bien évidemment également touché l’Afrique de l’ouest et l’une de ses filières phares : le riz. Cette crise a incité les États et les institutions régionales à mettre en oeuvre des mesures visant à améliorer la production et l’offre locales de riz.
This document on Good Practices in Extension Research and Evaluation is developed as a hands on reference manual to help young researchers, research students, and field extension functionaries in choosing the right research methods for conducting quality research and evaluation in extension. This manual has been compiled by the resource persons who participated in the Workshop on ‘Good
Capacity needs assessment is at the core of the cycle of the TAP Common Framework and it is fundamental to strengthening the agricultural innovation systems (AIS). The Assessment aims to ascertain the level of technical and functional capacity, and in particular the capacity to adapt and respond in the various dimensions. The capacity needs assessment will provide an analysis across the sector to inform the setting of priorities and development of strategic capacity development (CD) interventions.
The Guidance Note on Operationalization provides a brief recap of the conceptual underpinnings and principles of the TAP Common Framework as well as a more detailed guide to operationalization of the proposed dual pathways approach. It offers also a strategy for monitoring and evaluation as well as a toolbox of select tools that may be useful at the different stages of the CD for AIS cycle.
The Conceptual Background provides an in-depth analysis of the conceptual underpinnings and principles of the TAP Common Framework. It is also available in French and Spanish.
