Sistematización de la experiencia de la Alianza Aprendizaje Perú 2004–2015(Book, 2018-06-01) Alianza Aprendizaje PerúLa presenta publicación sistematiza la experiencia de la Alianza Aprendizaje Perú a la luz de sus once años de trabajo y que aspira ser la base para una nueva etapa de trabajo para responder a los retos que el nuevo escenario actual plantea para promover el desarrollo y encontrar alternativas para la población más vulnerable del país. El estudio ha sido realizado por la empresa Proexpansión y conducido por Gladys Triveño en coordinación con el equipo técnico de la Alianza. Ponemos a disposición el estudio a los agentes de desarrollo, tanto gubernamentales como no gubernamentales, que pueden obtener múltiples beneficios al participar en alianzas de aprendizaje: (i) posibilidades de fortalecimiento y colaboración entre organizaciones de desarrollo con objetivos similares pero con diversas experiencias y capacidades; (ii) materializar la sistematización de experiencias que permita su difusión a través de diferentes mecanismos y medios de comunicación; (iii) el desarrollo y ajuste de políticas, mecanismos de intervención, metodologías y herramientas más efectivas para facilitar procesos de desarrollo que contribuyan al logro de medios de vida sostenibles; y (iv) la construcción de contactos y redes entre organizaciones con objetivos comunes, que permitan en el corto y mediano plazo desarrollar y gestionar propuestas de desarrollo conjuntas.Item Diversified livelihoods through effective agro-enterprise interventions: Creating a cumulative learning framework between CIAT and development NGOs in Central America.(Report, 2008-05-01) Lundy, Mark M.This report provides a summary of the learning alliance project. Starting in 2003, a group of actors in Central America including International and local NGOs, an international agricultural research center, a national university and the International Development Research Centre came together to explore how to improve the links between research and development actors through learning alliances. For research partners, learning alliances have allowed the development of stronger networks with end users. These links provide clear orientation and feedback on key areas for further research, a potential platform to present additional action research proposals, reduced transactions costs in proposal development and project implementation and access to complementary funding sources including the sale of services to development partners and projects. An additional gain is the capacity to offer a credible multi-sector learning platform for more systemic proposals. Proposals that contain a critical mass of R & D actors are more attractive to both donor agencies as well as potential public and private sector partners.Item Documentación reflexiva: Recolectando orugas para capturar mariposas.

One of PROGRESA’s main goals was increasing crop and livestock production, and one way of helping to raise this production was improving water availability, especially during dry periods. Thus, part of the support provided to the beneficiary families through the rural water program was smallscale rural infrastructure works, which allowed the improvement of agricultural productivity applying Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and Good Animal Husbandry Practices (GAHPs). Similarly, PROGRESA improved the water supply for human consumption with rural mini-aqueducts, although the main purpose of this document is sharing the experience constructing three types of infrastructure to collect water for production: water-harvesting works (ponds and reservoirs), hand-dug wells, and sinks to collect spring water.Item Certifying Farms in Good Agricultural Practices and Implementing Good Animal Husbandry Practices(Book, 2015-01-01) Gonzáles, Kelia Alejandra; Olivera, Julio; Ruíz Hidalgo, Valleska Jamisseth; Montoya Valladarez, Selania Marina; Espinoza, CairoThis publication is the product of a participatory capitalization process facilitated by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) for the Program for Rural Enterprise Management, Health, and the Environment (PROGRESA).
