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.

Bangladesh: A story of change on mango production. “We must work together to increase mango production”
“We realized that we need to work together, and are now seeing changes happen” said Omar Ali, President of the newly formed Shibganj Mango Association. Farmers and orchard owners saw the need to change when interest in mango production grew after exports to the EU started in 2015. With technical assistance from several initiatives, the first 12 registered farmers began to follow ‘good agricultural practices’. They formed an association now with more than 50 members, and CDAIS is supporting them to strengthen their organization and to achieve their goals by building functional capacities.” T...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

Today, entering Trishal, Mymensingh on the road from Dhaka, one sees rows of fish ponds.
