Strengthening Agricultural Research in Guatemala

This project seeks to strengthen and integrate the actions of consortia of research institutions committed to the Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology (ICTA), the Regional University Centers, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food (MAGA), as well as other actors that provide value chains. To do so, they must be effective protagonists of the peasant economy, rural development and territorial development, in addition to being reliable partners for international cooperation and financing at the national level. The development of capacities and operational mechanisms is encouraged that, through inter-institutional work, strengthen the processes of research, technical assistance and financial sustainability.
