PERUMIN INSPIRA. Identificando Emprendimientos en Espacios Rurales en Base a la Innovación. por Ordinola, M., Fonseca, C., Pradel, W.

“…In the high Andes, the elements to make this process of promoting viable markets are based on: i) the construction of networks and alliances: the sustainability of an intervention model is based on the construction of networks and alliances involved in development at different levels; ii) programmatic articulation: between the various components and objectives, it constitutes a condition for the sustainability of the processes and results (this has its expression at the level of the same population in which multisectoral interventions converge); iii) territorial development: the intervention is planned on the basis of the territory, understood as the organized, complex and living set of economic, social and cultural relations of civil society and the State. …”

Challenges and opportunities of trilateral co-operation: Collaboration by the USA, Brazil and Mozambique on horticultural research, 2011–2015 por Schmink, Marianne, Smart, Jenny, Sitoe, Isabel, Bowen, Walter, Silva, Henoque Ribeiro, Ecole, Carvalho Carlos, Haber, Lenita

“…Drawing on dozens of interviews, anonymous individual surveys of project participants and discussions at the beginning and the end of the project, this article explores the principal challenges and gains from working in TC from the perspective of dozens of project participants.Project participants reported that they improved many aspects of their technical capacity, and benefited from multidisciplinary learning through participation in TC, strengthening Mozambique’s institutional capacity to improve vegetable production.The article concludes with recommendations for future TC projects: invest in communications and collaboration based on interdisciplinary trilateral teams; involve all levels of organizations as well as all participating actors in the whole value chain; address limitations, priorities and incentives in local institutions; and adopt innovative and adaptive governance strategies and mechanisms to address the evolution of complex trilateral interactions.…”

Linked Economic and Animal Systems (LEAS) Model: Technical documentation por Aragie, Emerta A., Beyene, Seneshaw Tamiru, Legesse, Ermias, Thurlow, James

“…The HDM is linked both ways with a core economywide model through economic variables such as relative prices of livestock activities, prices and availability of intermediate inputs including feed, and changes in supply of livestock capital in the meat and milk production sectors. Given the complex interplay in the livestock sector such as offtake decisions, death rates, milk and meat yield, and feeding practices (through quality indexed feed demand), the HDM developed under this project is a fully dynamic livestock sector model that provides several avenues for analysis on livestock management, the sector’s future trajectory, and its dynamics, given risks and opportunities within the sector and beyond.…”
