El objetivo de este documento es revisar de manera crítica el desarrollo, los avances y las dificultades en el proceso de creación de la Alianza de Aprendizaje, así como evaluar su contribución final a la hipótesis inicial de trabajo
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.
The Synthesis Document, here in its Hindi version, provides a synthesis of concepts and principles of the Common Framework developed under the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP). The objective of the TAP Common Framework is to promote better coherence and greater impact of capacity development in support of agricultural innovation in the Tropics. Developed in 2015 through a highly participatory process, it was agreed that the Framework should provide conceptual underpinnings and practical guidance.
Esta es una publicación que busca asociar la experiencia del Programa Mujeres Ey Desarrollo Económico Local-MyDEL en Guatemala, con rutas de análisis para lograr el escalamiento de políticas públicas que potencien los derechos económicos de las mujeres, que abran espacios para su empoderamiento y participación en la gobernanza, y que favorezcan de manera sostenida su acceso a activos productivos; especialmente a nivel de los territorios.
El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la estructura de la gobernanza para ampliar y consolidar el uso de prácticas de Adaptación basada en Ecosistemas (AbE) en agricultura. Se analizaron tres paisajes productivos distribuidos en tres países (Honduras, Guatemala y Costa Rica), caracterizados por la dedicación a la caficultura de pequeña escala. Para cada uno de estos paisajes se identificaron los actores que intercambian información entre la escala nacional y el nivel de los productores.
Esta guía del Proceso de Acompañamiento fue preparada bajo el proyecto Desarrollo de Capacidades para Sistemas de Innovación Agrícola (CDAIS), una asociación global (Agrinatura, FAO y ocho países piloto) que tiene como objetivo fortalecer la capacidad de los países y las partes involucradas para innovar en sistemas agrícolas complejos y así lograr mejores medios de vida en las zonas rurales. CDAIS utiliza un enfoque de ciclo de aprendizaje continuo para apoyar los sistemas nacionales de innovación agrícola en ocho países de África, Asia y América Central.
The experiences shared in this book of Conversations of Change capture the outcomes of three years’ work conducted by the eight CDAIS country teams from Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Laos and Rwanda. Collected between January and March 2019, they provide insights and perspectives of different actors engaged in the different capacity strengthening processes, within individuals and innovation niche partnerships, and at organisational and national level.
Innovation platforms are fast becoming part of the mantra of agricultural research and development projects and programs with an innovation objective.
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:
Though Odisha is India’s top sweetpotato-producing state, most farmers grow low-yielding varieties of limited nutritional value. The Odisha Directorate of Horticulture and the International Potato Center (CIP) spent four years promoting improved varieties and good agricultural practices in four districts of Odisha, resulting in a 25 per cent growth in the area dedicated to the crop, a 17 per cent increase in farm productivity, and a 40 per cent increase in farmer incomes within the project areas; as well as the introduction of a nutritious, orange-fleshed sweetpotato variety.
