Esta guía propone un enfoque participativo y estratégico del desarrollo de capacidades en el sector educativo. Como herramienta al servicio de los actores en cada país, debe ayudarles a evaluar los planes sectoriales de educación y las capacidades para su puesta en práctica, detectar las deficiencias de capacidad a partir de los recursos existentes, y fijar las prioridades para una estrategia de desarrollo de capacidades. Tras ese proceso, el desarrollo de capacidades debería figurar y reconocerse colectivamente como una prioridad en la agenda nacional.
Many capacity development (CD) programs and processes aim at long‐term sustainable change, which depends on seeing many smaller changes in at times almost invisible fields (rules, incentives, behaviours, power, coordination etc.). Yet, most evaluation processes of CD tend to focus on short‐term outputs focused on clearly visible changes.
This ‘Tourist Guide’ is a resource document charting the emerging landscape of systems studies on rural innovation. Note that the term ‘rural innovation’ is used rather than ‘agricultural innovation’ in recognition of the wider scope of knowledge applications that are important in contemporary rural livelihoods. There is a growing body of literature dealing with rural innovation with some research groups developing ideas over the last 20 odd years on the topic.
In this paper, presented at the 8th European IFSA Symposium ( Workshop 6: "Change in knowledge systems and extension services: Role of the new actors") in 2008, the authors discuss a conceptual framework that understands innovation processes as the outcome of collaborative networks where information is exchanged and learning processes happen. They argue that technical and economic factors used to analyse drivers and barriers alone are not sufficient to understand innovation processes.
