Participatory Approach to Productive Chains
The Participatory Approach to Productive Chains Program (Span. ECPC) consists of a method for the planning, production and marketing of food products through various participatory instances that give rural producers a central place in the whole process, allowing for a substantial improvement in the production conditions with regards to welfare, food sovereignty and competitiveness. In the long term, it aims to influence public agricultural innovation policies, incorporate participatory research, monitoring, impact and evaluation approaches. It was developed by the Andean Change Alliance Program, coordinated in Peru by the International Potato Center.
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?
