The
documentation of successful experiences is a basic element for
capacity building and for sensitization of decision
makers on the importance of information and communication management.
For capacity building, because of the possibility of sharing experiences
on the way in which information and communication technologies
were managed in cases in which they contributed to the success
of a research or innovation process. And for advocacy, because
specific cases of how a positive impact through these technologies
was achieved, can help decision makers become aware of their potential.
|
With
this in mind, we launched an invitation to collect success stories
in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) within
agricultural research and technological innovation projects or
programs. The invitation was for anyone with inside information of such
a case and wanted to share it. The selected cases were included in a publication,
in which the respective proponents were the authors of their chapter.
Steps
in this process:
- Proposal
of success stories
| The
cases were submitted through a an online form. The form was designed
to collect contact data of the person who proposes the case, basic
information on the project or program in which ICT were used successfully,
and the description of ICT use. |
- Selection
of cases
|
An international panel selected the stories to be published.
|
- Preparation
of final documents, for selected cases
|
Preparation of the final documents was responsibility of each
author (the proponents of the selected success stories). |
- Publication
|
Translation and publishing was recently concluded. See the English
version of the document HERE.
