Produits de le Cadre commun de travail de la TAP
Le Cadre commun propose une approche pratique du renforcement des capacités (RC) des systèmes d'innovation agricole (SIA).
Le cadre est composé de trois volumes et fournit des concepts, des principes, des méthodologies et des outils pour mieux comprendre l'architecture des SIA, pour évaluer les besoins en RC et pour planifier, mettre en œuvre, surveiller et évaluer les interventions de RC
Manuels de développement des capacités
Cette collection de manuels de formateurs a été produite dans le cadre du projet de développement des capacités pour les systèmes d'innovation agricole (CDAIS). Le projet a été mis en œuvre par Agrinatura et la FAO en partenariat avec des partenaires nationaux de huit pays pilotes, en mettant l'accent sur le renforcement de la capacité des pays et des principales parties prenantes à innover dans des systèmes agricoles complexes, améliorant ainsi les moyens de subsistance ruraux.
Outils de la TAP
La FAO, en collaboration avec Agrinatura, a produit une série de fiches d'information décrivant des outils et des approches pour promouvoir des projets de renforcement des capacités pour les systèmes d'innovation agricole (SIA). Les outils sont conçus en vue de la mise en œuvre pratique des principes du Cadre commun de la Plate-forme pour l'Agriculture Tropicale (TAP). Ils ont été appliqués dans le projet CDAIS.
Autres ressources TAP
Cette section contient d'autres ressources développées par la Plateforme pour l'agriculture tropicale, telles que des outils de mise en œuvre pratiques et des fiches d'information pour le développement des capacités, des histoires de réussite de projets mis en œuvre, la charte de la TAP, les rapports annuels de la TAP, et bien d'autres.
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
Stories of change: Building competence and confidence in agricultural innovation
This book collects 24 stories of change from the EU-funded CDAIS project. Launched in 2015, the overall objective of CDAIS is to make agricultural innovation systems more efficient and sustainable in meeting the demands of farmers, agri-business and consumers. The stories are about the eight pilot countries - in Africa, Asia and Latin America - in which CDAIS operates. Countries and title of the 24 stories are provided below, with date of last update for each story. Angola: 01) From farm to agri-business (February 2018) 02) From knowing needs to sowing seeds (March 2018...2018
CD interventions tool
This tool helps the design of comprehensive capacity development interventions aimed at strengthening mainly functional capacities. The purpose of this tool is to provide an overview of the different options in terms of capacity development modalities that an innovation partnership can consider while developing the action plan. The interventions proposed are based on the CDAIS experience and the FAO CD materials and include a mix of diverse activities, actions and processes aimed at addressing the three levels of capacity development (i.e. individual organizational enabling e...2018
Multi-stakeholders partnership assessment
The multi-stakeholders Assessment Form is a tool to enable the different actors creating a partnership to ask systematic questions to a potential partner to ensure a good fit with the goal, vision and needs of the partnership. This tool can be used at the development/ starting point phase of the partnership to explore a potential relationship. It can also be used later on, after the assessment of capacity gaps is done, to assess how new organizations or institutions can be integrated into the innovation partnership and provide innovation support services which are relevant to the needs o...2018
Rwanda: Stories of change. Challenges in the milk chain
In November 2016, a CDAIS capacity needs assessment of a community milk processing centre started a process that has seen clear changes in less than a year. The Burera dairy was selected as one of the country’s ‘innovation niche partnerships’, and the assessment, workshop and associated training allowed participants to better understand the value chain, the issues, problems, and possible solutions. Now, Burera dairy is moving forward, and quickly…. But much of the thanks are due to CDAIS training at different levels, and the role played by the national innovation facilitators has played an imp...2018
Bangladesh: A story of change. From green to silver: diversifying and intensifying production from rice to fish farming
Today, entering Trishal, Mymensingh on the road from Dhaka, one sees rows of fish ponds. One after the other, they show a massive diversification from rice to fish cultivation in recent years, and an intensification of production. The tradeoffs between green crops and silver fish appear to be clear, as ever more farmers see the benefits in terms of profits and returns, and make the move into fish farming. “I was impressed with the innovative approach of CDAIS in bringing together fish farmers and organizations that support us, to find ways to overcome challenges we face in producing quality...2018
Laos: A story of change on rice production. Diversifying rice production with frogs, fish and more
“I have seen my income grow since I started farming frogs and fish” says Bounlium Planethavong, “but other farmers need support to adopt the techniques I use.” The CDAIS project identified this innovation that increases and diversifies household income and nutrition by promoting the production of aquatic protein sources. This system is also more agroecologically balanced, re-introducing animals and insects that older farmers remember being once-plentiful in rice paddies… But now, farmers are sharing experiences, making valuable links to service and credit providers, and the first successes are...2018
Rwanda: A story of change on dairy. Meaningful meetings mean more milk
“Burera dairy opened in September 2015 but immediately had problems in sourcing milk as there was no organized supply chain” explains Managing Director Emmanuel Mahoro. “But things improved when everyone involved began to meet.” Beginning in November 2016 with a capacity needs assessment workshop, CDAIS has helped to bring different actors and interests together, followed by more meetings and coaching sessions. And in September 2018, a first reflection meeting assessed the achievements and remaining challenges, but also identified that benefits went far beyond just the dairy… This story of...2018
Rwanda: Stories of change. Resolving conflicts in water use
Centred on a reservoir and irrigation scheme for livestock keepers and crop producers, the core objective of CDAIS Rwangingo catchment was to promote fair, effective and efficient use of water, as well asconflict management through collaboration among users. It stimulated a partnership framework among water users, service providers (including extensionists, input suppliers and water users organisations ) and supporters (Agri projects, enablers). In less than two years, the multi-stakeholder partnership is gradually implementing effective resource management, eradicating conflicts and improving...2018
Bangladesh: A story of change on pineapple. Building a public–private pineapple partnership in the Chittagong Hill Tracts
Individual farmers often receive low prices for their harvest, and pineapple producers in Bangladesh are no exception. To help them, CDAIS facilitated a series of meetings and coaching. Starting with a capacity needs assessment workshop in April 2017, a coaching plan was developed to meet capacity gaps identified by the partnership of pineapple producers, complete with an action plan. The partnership also participated in a ‘marketplace’ event in Dhaka, a regional policy dialogue and two phases of capacity-building training. The result? An effective new pineapple growers association with compet...2018
