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.
