KPK PHASE II B (Contrap FTG)

Executive Summary

The Regional Fund for Agricultural Technology (FONTAGRO) is a unique mechanism for promoting collaboration for the innovation of family farming. It was created in 1998 by 15 countries with the sponsorship of the IDB. Over the years FONTAGRO has supported more than 160 projects and initiatives in the region, for a total of over US$120 million. In order to promote the use of knowledge products generated by FONTAGRO projects and its partners, FONTAGRO and its affiliated entities need to improve their knowledge management abilities. To that effect, innovative information and communication channels and activities will play an important function in reaching target audiences. This combination of IT infrastructure and outreach activities is crucial for (a) the transition from an applied research knowledge product to actual application within the agricultural production function, and (b) the visibility of outputs and outcomes to strategic partners, policymakers and the research community.

This project is the FONTAGRO counterpart of the project ATN/KK-15446. More information:
