Institutional Learning and Change Initiative

The outputs of the Andean Change Program are:

• A set of successful and appropriate participatory methodologies and approaches that favor local development and improved livelihoods for the rural poor are consolidated and widely disseminated in the Andean region through knowledge-sharing among the National Agricultural Innovation Systems (NAIS) of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
• Evidence of effectiveness of participatory, local development and livelihood methodologies used to inform pro-poor policy change in four Andean national systems.
• A proven model linking research with evidence-based agricultural and rural policy formulation that favors the poor tested in one NAIS and providing lessons for south-south knowledge sharing in the Andean region.
• Participatory methodologies which constitute international public goods are shared and improved with partners in the Andes .
• A practical, proven approach for South-South knowledge sharing is developed and validated with four countries in the Andean Region.
