Constraints and Opportunities in Using Multi-stakeholder Processes to Implement Integrated Agricultural Systems Research

This chapter presents an analysis of using multi-stakeholder platforms (MSPs) in Humidtropics and the lessons learned from experiences of facilitating multi-stakeholder processes to generate innovative and sustainable solutions to complex agricultural challenges. The six research for development (R4D) Platforms and 12 Innovation Platforms (IPs) in the East and Central Africa are operational and carry out integrated R4D with varying degrees of success. Agricultural integrated systems improvement in the West Africa Action Area started with the Situation Analysis followed by the identification of entry points using rapid appraisal of agricultural system with the R4D Platform members, and the results were validated with the IPs. In order to strengthen the capacity of facilitators and others who support the five MSPs in the Central Mekong Action Area, the Action Area Coordinator organized two 3-day capacity development workshops. IPs are facilitated by local consultants familiar with their respective territories and scientists from the Central America and the Caribbean Humidtropics team.
