National Project of Participatory Technological Innovation and Agricultural Productivity
The National Project of Participatory Technological Innovation and Agricultural Productivity is carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries (Span. MAGAP) with the purpose of promoting the productive reactivation of small and medium producers in the agricultural sectors, ranching, forestry, agroforestry, aquaculture and artisanal fishing. In addition, MAGAP proposed a line of work focused on family agriculture that includes the Participatory Agricultural Innovation System (Span. SITPA) as a motor for rural development that integrates the demand of peasant organizations with state supply and environmental responsibility within a Framework of formation of the New Rural Citizen. Among its functions, this program contributes to the increase of the production of the main crops of the country, within a learning dialogue for the small and medium agricultural and technical producers, through the innovation of participatory technologies to be implemented at the national level. Also, to execute the actions, the program designed a methodological tool denominated as the Schools of the Agrarian Revolution (Span. ERA); a space where producers and technicians learn skills, share knowledge through dialogue, and begin learning local management towards the fight against poverty and to achieve Sumak Kawsay or Good Living.
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?
