ICRA's Training Programmes

Since its start in 1981, ICRA has played a pioneering role in building capacity in agricultural research for development (ARD). We have focused on a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, implemented through teams and partnerships. Our 'hands-on' style and 'real world' team assignments have provided a unique mode of learning, whereas the analyses and action plans formulated during these field assignments have provided a valuable service to our partners.

Over the years, our programmes and services have been adapted to reflect emerging needs. ICRA’s strategy has evolved from providing courses for individuals, to engaging more continuously with institutions, helping to build partnerships and inter-institutional teams that can influence institutional change and development in the longer term. The training programmes have also evolved from mainly (long) core programmes in Wageningen and Montpellier to more tailor-made in-country programmes, in collaboration with (inter)national partner education and R&D organizations, and short programmes targeted at specific actors involved in innovation in rural development and change.
