Este trabajo de investigación busca entender cuáles son los factores institucionales y políticos que pueden impulsar o desincentivar la adopción de prácticas de adopción de prácticas agrícolas sostenibles adaptadas al clima (ASAC) por parte de los pequeños productores, en el caso de un país, Honduras, con una mirada tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel local.
El presente documento busca evaluar y documentar los cambios organizacionales e institucionales generados en el marco de la Alianza de Aprendizaje y el impacto de estos cambios en el desarrollo socioeconómico de las familias rurales -población meta de los socios de la Alianza-, en algunos sitios seleccionados.
A fin de analizar el potencial de un programa multisectorial en América Central, en el marco del proyecto de Integración Económica Regional Centroamericana (INTEC), que cuenta con financiación de la Comisión Europea y el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de los Países Bajos, el Centro para la Promoción de Importaciones desde países en desarrollo (CBI) encargó a ProFound – Advisers In Development y al Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) la realización de un análisis de las cadenas de valor (ACV) para cinco sectores predeterminados de seis países: Guatemala, El Salv
Year 1 activities were mainly on establishment of the project team at the global and country levels. A Partnership Agreement between AGRINATURA-EEIG and FAO was formalized and signed, and practical coordination mechanisms established. A Specific Power of Attorney between AGRINATURA-EEIG members within CDAIS was created, agreed and signed by all members, serving as the consortium agreement among members.

This Guide is prepared based on the concepts, principles and practices of the innovation systems, with particular reference to integrated agricultural research for development (IAR4D) which uses innovation platforms (IPs) in agriculture value chains and food systems. The contents of this Guide have been informed by the experiences and lessons learned from the IPs in agriculture value chains and food systems of CORAF/WECARD, National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) and FARA projects, as well as the CTA’s training.
This project report from Wageningen UR (as a contribution to the CGIAR Humid Tropics research program) examines critical issues for reflection when designing and implementing research for development in innovation platforms’. The current document therefore aims to increase awareness about the complexity of research in innovation. The underlying idea is that innovation platforms can facilitate institutional changes and support system innovations through increased interaction, negotiation and learning between stakeholders, including (new) roles of research(ers).
Capacity development for too long has endured the stereotypical characterization of “just training and technical assistance” that has undermined its broader legitimacy. We need to shift to a new and bolder vision of capacity development, one that seeks to catalyze domestic collective capacity for change by inspiring, connecting and empowering transformative leaders and coalitions for change.
This document provides guidelines for Innovation Platform (IP) facilitation and the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of IP processes and outcomes. Although it has been written for PROGEBE (project on ‘Sustainable management of globally significant endemic ruminant livestock of West Africa) staff at the site, national and regional levels, it is believed to have wider relevance beyond this specific project and specifically applies to projects which have a similar structure.
We are facing complex societal problems such as climate change, human conflict, poverty and inequality, and need innovative solutions. Multi-stakeholder processes (MSPs) are more and more seen as a critical way of coming to such innovative solutions. It is thought that when multiple stakeholders are able to meet, share experiences, learn together and contribute to decisions, new and innovative ways of dealing with problems are found and turned into action. Still, much remains to be understood about the role and effectiveness of social learning in multi-stakeholder settings.
