Communications and innovation platforms

The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) has been increasingly involved in innovation platforms in recent years. An online course is being created in partnership with several organizations (WUR, IITA, FARA, and others) under the umbrella of the Humidtropics CRP. 

• When completed later this year, there will be a total of 13 modules in the course 
• This course draws on the experiences of ILRI and many of its partners.
• See list below of already online modules 
• The online course can be accessed at: http://learning.ilri.org/class/1040 (it is free but you need to register)

Modules:

• POWER AND CONFLICT (module with 7 steps)
• COMMUNICATIONS (module with 14 steps)
• RESOURCES, INCENTIVES AND TIMEFRAMES (module with 5 steps)
• IMPLICATIONS OF COMPLEX AGRICULTURAL PROBLEMS FOR M and E (module with 5 steps)
• THEORY OF CHANGE AND IMPACT PATHWAYS (module with 11 steps)
• TOOLS FOR REFLEXIVITY (module with 8 steps)

For those who would like to get involved, ILRI created an early draft (in PowerPoint versions) for modules 1-5, which they would greatly appreciate feedback so that they can be revised prior to being developed into online modules.

The drafts can be accessed from the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jom8zdrjqb3uy7g/AADm0jenqzGef_LaGz9dDjNba?dl=0
