Content
- The objective is to create a common
academic and methodological framework for each cohort of doctorates
within the AgTraIn programme, and facilitating their development of
a Training and Supervision Plan for their project. Specifically the
course aims at setting the scene of food production and
development, demonstrating the role and limitations of all actors
in the food chain from primary production, over processing and
value addition to traders. Secondly, the course will provide
analytical tools and methodological approaches that can be used for
stakeholder involvement and negotiation, hereunder:
• Negotiation with stakeholders and stakeholder analysis
• Transformation from problem to research question (LogFrame Analysis)
• Rural realities and constraints
• Framework for smallholder innovation
• Participatory Action Research
The students will submit a plan for stakeholder involvement in their continued project refinement as well as a preliminary logframe analysis.
