FRAMEWORK

SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE
Addressing challenge of upscaling
and outscaling of agricultural
innovations
 Success stories from PANTIL and previous
SUA researches are visible in project
villages and sites
 Limited evidence of upscaling of best
practices and proven technologies to entire
villages and districts
 SUA cannot achieve upscaling working
alone
 Partnerships required
 Change in approaches required

SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE
The Agricultural innovation system
Informal institutions, practices, behaviours;
e.g. organizational culture, learning orientation, communication practices
 Is made up of
three main
components:
 The knowledge
and education
domain
 The Business
and enterprise
domain
 The Bridging
institutions that
facilitate the
transfer of
knowledge
between the
two domains

The Agricultural innovation
system …
 Governing the three
domains are social
economic institutions
that influence
innovation processes

4/13/2015
Regulatory
functions, rules
(both formal and
informal) and
practices that
influence how
individuals and
organizations within
each domain
behave and
interact as
competitors or allies

SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE
The Agricultural innovations
system …
 It is in this
complex realm
that research
works to influence
uptake of
innovations by
various value chain
role players
including
innovative policies
by policy makers
