Workshop Protocol and Facilitation guide for the Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Innovation Systems (RAAIS)
The protocol and Facilitation guide supports the design and conduction of stakeholder workshops as part of the participatory research method called ‘Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Innovation Systems’ (RAAIS). RAAIS was originally developed by a team of researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, and was adapted to the specific context of South-East Kazakhstan as part of the project ‘Climate change, water resources and food security in Kazakhstan’.
The use of the Protocol in this project is discussed in: Barrett, T. Feola, G., Krylova, V., Khusnitdinova, M. 2017. The application of Rapid Appraisal of Agricultural Innovation Systems (RAAIS) to agricultural adaptation to climate change in Kazakhstan: a critical evaluation. Agricultural Systems, 151: 106-113.
