Innovation systems governance in Bolivia: Lessons for agricultural innovation policies by Hartwich, Frank, Alexaki, Anastasia, Baptista, Rene

“…In consequence governance in innovation systems has less to do with executing research and administering extension services and more to do with guiding diverse actors involved in complex innovation processes through the rules and incentives that foster the creation, application, and diffusion of knowledge and technologies. The report presents results from a study that analyzed to what extent the Bolivian Agricultural Technology System (SIBTA), as part of the country’s agricultural innovation system, has complied with a set of governance principles—including participation of stakeholders (especially small farmers) in decision making, transparency and openness, responsiveness and accountability, consensus orientation and coherence, and strategic vision—and compares those principles with benchmarks of innovation systems governance in five other developing countries. …”

Analysis of fruit and vegetable market chains in Alamata, Southern Zone of Tigray: the case of onion, tomato and papaya by Gessesse, A.

“…Three development agents are deployed in each Tabaias with the help of whom 1.42 percent of respondents got weekly extension service, 0 .71 percent have got extension service in two weeks, 0 .71 percent have got extension service any time required, 8.57 percent have got extension service with no regular program and the remaining 88.57 percent of respondents reported no extension contact at all.
