Africa Matters: Some Policy-Relevant Lessons Emerging from the RIU Country Programmes

Abstract

Agricultural innovation, rather than simple investment in research and technology initiatives, may also require the establishment of independent rural development brokering agencies. While the private sector may be ideally placed in some sectors, local circumstances may currently limit their role in many areas. In light of this, coalitions of private, public, and civil society sector actors are important in developing, accessing, and using knowledge and technology for equitable agricultural and rural system innovation.
