Prolinnova

ETC EcoCulture coordinates Prolinnova (PROmoting Local INNOVAtion in ecologically-oriented agriculture and natural resource management).

The programme, funded by DGIS with co-funding from a number of other donors, promotes farmer-based approaches to research and development that start with discovering how farmers develop and test new ideas. Understanding the rationale behind local innovation transforms how research and extension agents view local people, inviting collective action.

The programme is active in nine core country programmes and supports activities in another seven. Nigeria is the latest country to join the network after its successful inception-planning workshop in 2008.
