Presentation in a luchtime non-formal seminar at world bank

1. The current performance of the system of knowledge,
science and technology has been unable to fully
meet the new demands of society, which require a
more diverse, complex and holistic agenda

2. Strengthening
local innovation systems

3. The ability to be in contact with sources of relevantThe ability to be in contact with sources of relevant

4. “Is it possible to facilitate local innovation systems for farm
families, women and youth
with support organizations and market players
to build agroforestry systems
with high productivity and quality?”

5. The fact that “the different sectors involved in the local
innovation systems are traditionally seen as adversaries
with conflicting interests and in the past have not produced
lasting alliances”
It is imperative “ to adopt the perspective of improving
information flow for decision-making processes,and to
understand and learn about relations and links between
sectors. This calls for building open multi institutional
information sharing platforms so as to create the basis
for functioning of local learning alliances”

6. In this quest, the organizations and their allies need to
develop a better understanding of use of knowledge
as power for both transformation of actors (livelihood
strategies) and changing rules of the games (policy
incidence).

7. The new role of enlightened and empowered actors and
communities must be enhanced for both the process of
thier own transformation and for changing rules of the
game. The narrative should focus on farm households
and their organizations being drivers of the changes and
not to simply benefit from the changes.

8. It is not convenient that the innovation processes
continue to depend only on center-to-source knowledge
dissemination. They should be built on the strengths of a
multiple-source knowledge integration. Thats why open
information and learning systems are so crucial.

9. The Alternative sustainable agroforestry systems for indigenous and
Afro-descendant of the RAAN, Nicaragua, the COCOA RAAN project
is a grant from JSDF (Japan Social Development Fund), managed by
World Bank and implemented by ACICAFOC
Component 1: Integrated development of agroforestry in 1000 cocoa
growing farms to raise production levels
Component 2: Direct marketing strategy and market linkages for cocoa
farmers operating in a socially and environmentally sustainable
environment
Component 3:Strengthening the Central American Cocoa Producers
network
Component 4: Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation

10. What to monitor?
Social and human
indicators
Participatory
Monitoring and Evaluation
Environmental
and planetery
indicators
Profitability and
economic
indicators
Future
production and
investment
indicators

11. Social and human indicators
1. Total number of cocoa farmers
2. Total number of cocoa farmers integrated in
recognized producer organizations.
3. Number of cocoa farmers producing under certified
production system
4. Number of producer organizations legally recognized.
5. Average age of cocoa farmers

12. Environmental and planetary Indicators
1. Total area under cocoa production
2. Areas of cocoa with a minimum number of good agricultural
practices
3. Accumulated number of farmers trained in good management
practices. accumulated
4. Number of producers using a minimum number of good
agricultural practices
5. Number of producers using more than one good agricIIultural
practice for improving soil fertility
6. Number of Cocoa trees per hectare
7. Area under organic production system

13. III. Profitability and economic indicators
1. Cocoa Production in metric tons
2. Cocoa Prices obtained by growers
3. Productivity of cocoa farms (kg / ha)
4. Productivity per cocoa tree (kg / tree)
5. Per capita income for cocoa farm

14. IV. Future production and investment indicators in
the cocoa industry
1. Total investment in cocoa production and its
impact on the community
2. Total volume of certified cocoa produced (TM)

15. Developing the monitoring system 1
Visualizing effective dialogues
with members of farm households
to be able to collect and
reconstruct required data
Identifying crtical variables
and data for the indicators
Construction of easy to use
matricial data collection format
that follows the dialogues
Data collection
by 10 rural promoters
305 families
Aware of
Customs of
Keeping on-head
Data by farmers

16. Developing the monitoring system 2
Construction of easy to use
matricial data input format
that strictly follows the data collection
Data inputs and
Outputs managed by
promoters or Technicians
thorugh INTERNET
Data input,
Management, querries
Display, downloads
All based on
licence free software
Construction of effective
outputs
that responds to the
need for indicator asessment
Construction of effective
database located in cloud
with fast access and
Fast online processing
