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.
This trainers’ manual on capacity needs assessment was produced as part the Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS) project. This involves a global partnership (Agrinatura, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations [FAO] and national partners from eight pilot countries) that aims to strengthen the capacity of countries and key stakeholders to innovate in complex agricultural systems, thereby achieving improved rural livelihoods.
The Excel workbook contains some preconfigured spreadsheets that can be used for entering data collected through the capacity scoring questionnaire (Version 1 and Version 2), which has been developed in the context of the the CDAIS project, and to perform some basic analysis as well as visualize the data.
The capacity scoring questionnaire is an instrument that can be used when assessing the systems capacities of innovation partnerships or organizations in order to identify strengths and weaknesses and monitor change over time. It thus supports the design and implementation of successful capacity development interventions for agricultural innovation. This questionnaire has been developed in two versions (Version 1 and Version 2) and has been piloted in several countries in the context of the Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS).

Les leçons et les recommandations mises en avant dans cette publication sont issues d’un atelier de capitalisation de PAEPARD qui a réuni tous les partenaires à Cotonou, au Bénin, du 2 au 6 octobre 2017. Cet atelier a joué un rôle essentiel dans l’évaluation globale de PAEPARD, car il a encouragé les participants à analyser leurs expériences relatives aux PMA afro-européens pour les processus de RAD facilités par PAEPARD durant ces sept dernières années. Lors des discussions, les partenaires ont réfléchi à l’avenir des activités de PAEPARD et à la pérennité de ses réalisations.
Ce document est le résultat d’un processus participatif ayant impliqué l’ensemble des parties prenantes dans la conduite de l’expérience pilote des champs écoles agropastoraux au Burkina Faso. Il constitue la synthèse des points de vue et des perceptions de différents acteurs institutionnels ayant participé activement à la réflexion critique de l’expérience.
The lessons and recommendations outlined in this paper were captured at a PAEPARD Capitalization Workshop with all partners, held in Cotonou, Benin, on 2-6 October 2017. The workshop was key to the overall evaluation of PAEPARD II, as it encouraged participants to analyse and reflect on their experiences of the AfricanEuropean MSP for ARD processes facilitated by PAEPARD over the last 7 years.
El objetivo del presente trabajo fue caracterizar el consumo de setas en la ciudad de Mérida, a través de la perspectiva de los agentes comerciales o intermediarios (supermercados y restaurantes) para facilitar a los productores el acceso al mercado de las setas en forma exitosa. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con un enfoque cuantitativo, en donde la muestra estuvo conformada por 15 supermercados y 28 restaurantes. Se emplearon las técnicas de observación directa y entrevista.
En este estudio durante el período 2008-2009, los objetivos fueron caracterizar a los productores, determinar el grado de adopción y evaluar el impacto del uso de la variedad de frijol Pinto Saltillo, generada por el INIFAP. El procedimiento metodológico se basó en una entrevista formal a una muestra de agricultores, los cuales fueron seleccionados al azar de una población de 45,000 productores registrados en el padrón de SAGARPA. El tamaño de muestra fue de 496 elementos.
