Marco Común de la Plataforma de Agricultura Tropical (TAP)
El Marco Común propone un enfoque práctico para el Desarrollo de Capacidades (DC) para la Innovación Agrícola.
El Marco se compone de tres volúmenes y proporciona conceptos, principios, metodologías y herramientas para una mejor comprensión de la arquitectura de los SIA, para evaluar las necesidades de DC y para planificar, implementar, monitorear y evaluar las intervenciones de DC.
Manuales de desarrollo de capacidades
Esta colección de manuales para instructores se produjo como parte del proyecto Desarrollo de capacidades para los sistemas de innovación agrícola (CDAIS). El proyecto fue implementado por Agrinatura-EEIG y la FAO en asociación con socios nacionales de ocho países piloto y se centró en fortalecer la capacidad de los países y las principales partes interesadas para innovar en sistemas agrícolas complejos, logrando así mejores medios de vida rurales.
Herramientas de la TAP
La FAO, en colaboración con Agrinatura, ha producido una serie de hojas informativas que describen herramientas y enfoques para promover proyectos de desarrollo de capacidades para sistemas de innovación agrícola (AIS). Las herramientas están diseñadas con miras a la implementación práctica de los principios del Marco Común de la Plataforma de Agricultura Tropical (TAP). Estas herramientas han sido usadas en el proyecto CDAIS.
Otros recursos de TAP
Esta sección contiene otros recursos desarrollados por la Plataforma de la Agricultura Tropical, como herramientas de implementación práctica y hojas informativas para el Desarrollo de Capacidades, Historias de éxito de proyectos implementados, Carta de la TAP, informes anuales de la TAP y muchos más.
Good Practice on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems. Los Alpes Agroecological School
Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, and agriculture is one of the engines of economic and social development. The agricultural sector contributes 16.1 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 33 percent of formal employment and the food security of the population. There are 260 000 producers involved in agricultural production. The present experience has been developed in Cantagallo in the municipality of Condega, in the department of Estelí, which has been declared an Ecological Park by the Mayor's office. Agricultural production in Cantagallo is focused on small lives...2024

Good Practice on Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems. Local Technical Agroclimatic Committees (MTAs)
Local stakeholders and agricultural producers in Latin America have limited access to agroclimatic information and, when they do gain access to it, they have difficulty translating it into understandable and actionable knowledge. While climate services are recognized as contributing to bridging the gap between the generation of climate information and its use by stakeholders, their provision and use in Latin America still represents critical challenge. Effective implementation of climate services implies a process of change in attitude, knowledge and skills of stakeholders (e.g., institutio...2024

Portafolio de Soluciones desde la Innovación Digital para el Sector Agropecuario en Colombia
En la actualidad, las tecnologías digitales forman parte de nuestra vida cotidiana, y la constante búsqueda de factores innovadores se ha vuelto indispensable para adaptarse al futuro. La innovación involucra la creación de algo nuevo y diferente, ya sea resolver un problema preexistente de una manera original, enfrentar un desafío inexplorado utilizando una solución comprobada, o bien, aportar a una problemática completamente nueva con una respuesta novedosa (FAO, 2023a).2024
APIRAS APAARI Good Practice n.5 on Institutional Innovations. Competitive Research Grants: Learning from Krishi Gobeshona Foundation, Bangladesh
The creation of Competitive Research Grants (CRGs) is globally recognized as an institutional innovation for improving the effectiveness of agricultural research. Unlike block grants for research, CRGs are expected to bring in many top-quality proposals from a wide range of actors, selecting the best out of them and thus getting more value for money. The Government of Bangladesh established the Krishi Gobeshona Foundation (KGF) in 2007 as an agency to administer and promote competitive research grants in agriculture. Beyond this, KGF was also tasked with building partnerships and strengthen...2024
Key achievements towards strengthening national agricultural innovation systems - Collection of posters from the TAP-AIS project
This collection of posters from the TAP-AIS project illustrates key achievements of the project towards strengthening national agricultural innovation systems (AIS) in Africa (Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Malawi, Rwanda, Senegal), Latin America (Colombia), Asia and the Pacific (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Pakistan). For each of these nine countries, and for their respective regions, the posters provide: i) thematic focus and context; ii) constraints in the AIS; iii) capacity development interventions; iv) outcomes; v) the way forward. The posters have been developed in occasion of the 10th Partner A...2023

Enhancing the animal feed value chain for pig and poultry production in Rwanda
Insufficient availability and access to affordable and nutritious animal feeds constitute the most severe problem in pig and poultry value chains in Rwanda. According to a policy study conducted in five districts of Rwanda in September and October 2022, this problem leads to increased malnutrition of pigs and poultry reared in the country, reduced number of pig and poultry populations due to drop out of farm owners from the business, increased number of thieves from pig and poultry farms, increased human malnutrition due to deficiency of animal resources proteins and of course increased povert...2023
Small livestock development in Rwanda: enhancing the policy environment for pig and poultry value chains
In recent years, much has been accomplished to develop the small livestock subsector in Rwanda. The Livestock Master Plan (LMP) 2017–2022 and the Fourth Strategic Plan for Agricultural Transformation (PSTA 4) 2018–2024 have proposed and attracted investments that have improved productivity of small livestock value chains including better piggery and poultry genetics, feeds and health services. However, this subsector still faces many problems related to policy and the enabling environment. Those problems were identified by a policy analysis involving stakeholder consultations in September and...2023
