Guide for Strengthening Functional Capacities in Agricultural Innovation

This guide is part of the action plan activities implemented by IICA and RELASER to contribute to strengthening AIS in Latin America, in this case with a particular focus on the Caribbean countries. The purpose of this guide is to contribute to the development of functional capabilities among individuals and organizations that support innovation in the Caribbean. The guide follows a similar document published by FAO and IICA two years previously, which has been cited and used in Latin America (FAO and IICA, 2022).

The guide contains 11 chapters, each including a brief introduction highlighting the theoretical and applied background of the section and introduces conceptual frameworks and key figures. Methodologies and tools for analysis are presented for each step, with at least one case study (success story) related to the chapter, and an exercise to strengthen the learning of each case. In addition, references and links to resources, tools and methodologies are included in each chapter, which are specific to the Caribbean countries, therefore the readers can continue their learning on their own.
