Innovation systems – RIU 2009

• System diagnosis
• Facilitate actor interactions.
• Strengthen demand side
• Strengthen intermediaries
• Increase incentives / reduce

disincentives

• Experiment and invest in

learning

• Balance supply / demand
• Intermediary functions
• Framework conditions’ and

basic ‘infrastructure’ key

• Tacit and codified knowledge
• Networks and linkages

Interventions Features

Objective

• Use practical examples of what it

might mean to recognise and use features and interventions in an innovation systems approach

Case studies

Case studies

Innovation = use, adoption, uptake or commercialisation of new and existing knowledge for positive social and economic change

Case studies

Innovation = use, adoption, uptake or commercialisation of new and existing knowledge for positive social and economic change Scaling of “innovations” or enhancing “innovation systems”

Case studies

Innovation = use, adoption, uptake or commercialisation of new and existing knowledge for positive social and economic change Scaling of “innovations” or enhancing “innovation systems” Cases 1-4: Success = use of particular knowledge Case 5: Success = capacity to innovate

• Selective picking, improved sun-

drying and hand-pulping

Improve coffee quality to address consumer demand

1) Ethiopia

• Community Based Armyworm

Forecasting

• Village forecasters use moth traps

and simple rules to predict

• utbreaks
• Communities establish and agree

communication and response approaches

Improve prediction of armyworm outbreaks at community level

2) Tanzania

3) Kenya

• Farmer varieties of tolerant kale
• Good seed management practices

to bulk kale seed

Improving access to seed

• Integrated Pest Management
• Biocontrol of Asian Corn-borer using

parasitic wasp, Trichogramma

Improve National Food production in DPRK (maize)

4) DPRK

Improving local capacity to identify and address emerging problems

• Mobile plant clinics that respond to

farmer demand

• Plant Healthcare systems embedding

clinics in networks of input suppliers; expert advice; diagnostic services; national plant protection organisations

5) Asia, Africa, Latin America

Framework conditions

‘Framework conditions’ and the basic infrastructure of the system are crucial elements: e.g. ways of working, aspects of culture, the social value placed on innovation and entrepreneurship.
