| description |
In 2004, nine country programs involved
in PROLINNOVA (Promoting Local Innovation in
ecologically-oriented agriculture and natural resource
management) considered how local innovation could be
enhanced. The PROLINNOVA partners (national NGOs and
government institutions of research, extension and
education) saw a need for flexible funding mechanisms to
support farmer-led participatory research and development
(R&D) processes. They developed the concept of locally
controlled "Innovation Support Funds" (ISFs) that
would allow farmers to invest in their own research, to hire
external resource persons to support it, to access external
information, and to conduct cross visits. The note explores
the ISF concept, and describes how PROLINNOVA partners
envisage their operation. |
