This paper traces the evolution of the innovation systems framework within the agricultural sector in Sub-Saharan Africa, and presents a conceptual framework for agricultural innovation systems. The difference between innovation ecology/ecosystems and intervention-based innovations systems is highlighted, given that these two concepts are used at different levels in promoting and sustaining agricultural innovations.
The CDAIS project, funded by the EU and jointly implemented by Agrinatura and FAO, enhances innovation in agriculture by improving the functional capacities of individuals, organizations and systems. It brings partners together and uses continuous learning cycles to address the challenges and opportunities in and around selected ‘innovation niche partnerships’ in eight pilot countries in Central America, Africa and Asia.

Le projet CDAIS, financé par l'UE et mis en œuvre par la FAO et Agrinatura, soutient l'innovation agricole par le développement des capacités fonctionnelles des individus et des organisations du système national d'innovation agricole. Dans huit pays pilotes en Amérique Centrale, Afrique et Asie, des démarches, des outils et des competénces sont créées pour accompagner les apprentissages nécessaires à la conduite de projets d'innovation et sont testées dans des Situations d'Innovation Localisées qui ont été sélectionnés.
