Description: 

The chapter is a part of the book Integrated Agricultural Research for Development: from Concept to Practice. It introduces a new paradigm called integrated agricultural research for development (IAR4D), how the IAR4D approach is critical in the institutionalisation process, why institutionalise innovation platforms (IPs), what the drivers of IP institutionalisation are, what constitutes an ‘enabling policy environment’ for IPs, how to institutionalise the IPs, what the low-lying fruits are in the institutionalisation and sustainability of IPs, what the current and potential obstacles to institutionalising and sustaining the IPs are, and successful progress towards institutionalisation of IPs.
