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.
G20 Stock taking Exercise 2019. Report on the Tropical Agriculture Platform
This report provides an overview of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) since its inception in 2012, when it was officially launched by FAO at the first G20 Meeting of Agriculture Chief Scientists (MACS) in September 2012 in Mexico, until December 2018. The G20 Agriculture Deputies agreed on this stock taking exercise that started under the 2018 Argentinian G20 Presidency. This exercise was done on the occasion of the G20 MACS meeting in April 2019 in Japan. Its purposes are the following: To take stock of the work of the initiatives launched by G20 Agriculture Ministers sinc...2019
Conversations of change: Angola
There was a need for change in agricultural development in Angola, and CDAIS has been appreciated. Results show positive outcomes in a number of areas, including the acceptance of the benefits of strengthening functional capacities across different levels. And, although it is still too early to see the full benefits of the approach, many involved said they would continue to apply it in their other activities. This story begins with views and experiences from rice growers and their partners, as an example of one of the three innovation niche partnerships in Angola...2019
Conversations of change: Laos
The policy environment for agricultural innovation in Lao PDR has never been better. Agricultural development is high on the agenda at the most senior levels of government, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry recently published a strategy framework that lays out multiple pathways for innovation. Based on the work to date, CDAIS National Innovation Facilitators are well positioned to continue shaping the agricultural innovation process long after the project ends. To show examples of how this has been achieved, conversations are shared from a pig production pa...2019
Conversations of change: Rwanda
Rwanda has benefited from ‘hard’ agricultural invest ment projects in the past two decades, promoted by a supportive and responsive government in collaboration with various donors and development actors. CDAIS looked to increase the impacts of such investments through strengthening ‘soft’ skills in three innovation niche partnerships surrounding significant public, private or donorfunded infrastructure developments, and linking this to organisational and national levels. Of these, this story focuses on experiences from the Rwangingo– Karangazi catchment partnership, wher...2019
Conversations of Change: Ethiopia
Results in Ethiopia show positive outcomes from CDAIS activities, proving the benefits of integrating functional capacity strengthening across individual, partnership, organisational and national levels. Common to all these levels are the CDAIS team, who tell their stories here alongside other partners. Examples are presented from one of the five innovation niche partnerships in Ethiopia, and how new ways of doing things introduced by CDAIS since late 2016 have led to positive changes through the strengthening of chickpea cluster farming around Gondar in the north of...2019
Conversations of Change: Burkina Faso
The Government of Burkina Faso embraced innovation in agriculture many years ago, thus CDAIS could build on solid foundations. Six innovation niche partnerships were selected, each working on very different types of innovations, technically, socially or organisationally, and facing contrasting challenges for capacity development. Agrinatura partner CIRAD, well established in Burkina Faso thanks to strong partnerships with key stakeholders within the national agricultural innovation system, implemented the project with FAO and the Ministry of Higher Education, Sci...2019
Conversations of change: Guatemala
There have been clear changes in Guatemala and, according to those involved, outcomes exceeded expectations. These have resulted from the strengthening of functional capacities across individual, partnership, organisational and national levels, using processes that have evolved since the CDAIS project began in 2015. Of the four selected innovation niche partnerships in the country, the conversations here explore the experiences of avocado producers in Sololá, led by AIDA, the Association for the Integral Development of the Altiplano. And much has changed since CDAIS ...2019
Conversations of change: Bangladesh
Agriculture provides the principle source of livelihood for more than 80% of its 170 million people, and is the backbone of the Bangladesh economy. The government acknowledges this in its strategy to 2041, with investment in research and extension. CDAIS began in 2015. At the outset, however, the need to also invest in strengthening functional capacities was not recognised by those used to the ‘traditional’ technology transfer model. The story of mango producers in Chapai Nawabganj district is offered here as an example, though CDAIS saw success with all three innovation n...2019
Conversations of change: Honduras
The CDAIS project has been an accelerator of processes, with results that have spread from community to governmental levels. Those who have been involved consider that CDAIS was a key reason for these changes, having arrived as a springboard in 2015. Of the four partnerships in Honduras, these conversations explore the experiences of potato producers in La Esperanza, Intibucá, home to almost 70% of national potato production. Since 2015, much has changed for them: from a small group of growers, eight associations have become consolidated organisations. Supported by t...2019
2018 Interim narrative report. First draft.
A conceptual framework that promotes an integrated and comprehensive approach to Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CD4AIS Framework) was developed in Year 1 of the project. It argues that for innovations to emerge, functional capacities are needed. There are 4 functional capacities i.e. capacity to navigate complexity, to collaborate, reflect and learn and engage in strategic and political process. These capacities should be inherent within individuals, organisations, systems level (local and national level including policy systems). The capacities are developed t...2018
