Promoting Local innovation in ecologically oriented agriculture and NRM, known as PROLINNOVA, is an NGO-initiated international learning network to promote local innovation in ecologically oriented agriculture and Natural resource management.
The focus of PROLINNOVA is on recognising the dynamics of indigenous knowledge and enhancing capacities of farmers (including forest dwellers, pastoralists and fisherfolk) to adjust to change – to develop their own site-appropriate systems and institutions of resource management so as to gain food security, sustain their livelihoods and safeguard the environment.
Local ideas are further developed in a participatory process that integrates IK and scientific knowledge.
There are 19 multi-stakeholder country platforms involved in the PROLINNOVA network: Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Kenya, Mozambique, Mali, Senegal, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Nepal, Cambodia, South Africa, Nigeria, Niger, Sudan, Cameroon and Tanzania.
There are 20 institutions participating across the country, including Cambodia's largest agricultural NGO, CEDAC.
