El Nino Emergency Assistance Project
The project was part of a well coordinated effort by donors active in Guyana, to assist the Government in mitigating the impact of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon which affected Guyana starting in 1997. The El Niño Emergency Assistance Project was prepared in response to identified emergency prevention and reconstruction needs. The objectives of the project were: (a) help to restore the country's agricultural capacity in drought-stricken areas through vulnerability reduction measures in the areas of hydrologic extremes; (b) help in providing safe and reliable potable water service to marginal urban and remote hinterland and riverine communities which have been affected by drought; and help restore flood protection in low-lying areas of the City of Georgetown.
National Agricultural Innovation System Support Project (PNIA)
The project supports the establishment and consolidation of the National Agricultural Innovation System by strengthening the institutional capacity of the lead public agency, building decentralized innovation networks with public and private stakeholders, and administering competitive grant funds for subprojects in strategic research, adaptive research, agricultural extension, seed enterprise development, and capacity building. It includes a national and international scholarship program for researchers and extension professionals, as well as the design of a monitoring and evaluation system for the agricultural innovation system. Its objective is to create the conditions for member organizations of the national innovation system to improve their effectiveness in developing and delivering improved agricultural technologies to rural producers.
Strategy for Technological Innovation to Improve the Productivity and Competitiveness of Supply Chains in Central America and the Dominican Republic
PRESICA developed a regional agricultural innovation model based on Local Innovation Consortia, which bring together producers, research institutes, universities, NGOs, and the private sector around value chains for corn, beans, cassava, and sweet peppers. The strategy was grounded in producers’ technological needs to drive research, technology validation, technology transfer, and extension services with a territorial focus. The project operated in eight Central American countries and the Dominican Republic, forming 22 local consortia. It contributed to strengthening national and regional agricultural innovation systems as a public good.
