Agricultural innovation systems: An investment sourcebook

Drawing on the emerging principles of Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) analysis and action, this sourcebook was developed by the World Bank to strengthen innovation systems and promote agricultural innovation and equitable growth.

The sourcebook seeks to help identify, design, and implement the investments, approaches, and complementary interventions viewed as most likely to support these aims.

Extract

"The sourcebook is targeted to the key operational staff in international and regional development agencies and national governments who design and implement lending projects and to the practitioners who design thematic programs and technical assistance packages. The sourcebook is also an important resource for the research community and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and may be a useful reference for the private sector, farmer organizations, and individuals with an interest in agricultural innovation. " (World Bank, 2012)
