Andean Consortium for Participatory Innovation with Rural Farmers
The Andean Consortium for Participatory Innovation with Rural Farmers is an international program that brings together research and innovation organizations and communities of small agricultural producers in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Through a strategy called "Participatory Rural Innovation", the aim is to improve the quality of life of rural communities in the Andean countries, based on participatory planning, implementation, execution and evaluation of agricultural programs, with special attention to the Sustainable use of agrobiodiversity as well as in strengthening the capacities and knowledge of rural producers. In this way, various programs are carried out and networks of producers and communities are established for the creation of capacities, the exchange of experiences and the development of productive strategies.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
