Encouragement of effective research and development partnerships through a process of competitive funding in Nepal
Get PDFThe provision of research and development funds on a competitive basis can be used to lever change and paradigm shifts in organizational behavior. The establishment of such a fund in Nepal followed four years of a project-based demonstration. Criteria for the awarding of grants have been tailored to encourage multiple-stakeholder applications to address the demand-driven requirements of the rural poor, who are the main clients for the fund. Key criteria include multi-disciplinary and participatory methodologies, client demand, poverty and gender focus, sustainability, upscaling and environmental issues. Examples of successful partnerships in completed and currently funded projects are given. These cover crops and livestock based activities and include partnerships between public sector research and NGOs, public sector research with communities and NGOs, and public sector research and extension with farmers’ groups
Research project prioritization through training in analytic hierarchy process: case study of a village in Semi-Arid region of Central India.
Get PDFAgricultural scientists of various cadres were trained in analytic hierarchy process (AHP); later in interdisciplinary groups they prioritized the research interventions for solving the problem as given to them through a ‘participatory case study’ of a village. This case study is the abstracted draft report of the two agro-ecosystem field studies separately conducted by International Center for development oriented Research in Agriculture (ICRA), The Netherlands and National Academy of Agricultural Research Management (NAARM) in collaboration with Indian Grassland & Fodder Research Institute (IGFRI), a locally situated institution. First on is divergent and broad study of complete region, and second one is convergent and specific constraint-opportunity analysis of a village in zone-3 of ICRA study. The paper describes perceptions of off-site and on-site scientists of various cadres towards AHP, its application and analysis of prioritized group decisions
