146<strong>World</strong> Agr<strong>of</strong>orestry <strong>in</strong>to the Future<strong>The</strong> network approach can be applied <strong>in</strong>a broader context. For example, ANAFEis not strictly about agr<strong>of</strong>orestry only. It isabout natural resources management, <strong>in</strong>tegratedbeyond forestry, beyond agriculture.<strong>The</strong>re is a change <strong>of</strong> attitude among educatorstowards putt<strong>in</strong>g education <strong>in</strong>to context<strong>in</strong> rural development. Experiential learn<strong>in</strong>gmethods and tools are emerg<strong>in</strong>g andthe teach<strong>in</strong>g and learn<strong>in</strong>g environment ischang<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>in</strong>clude farmers’ participation.Agr<strong>of</strong>orestry programmes can thus serve asvehicles for broader rural development.<strong>The</strong> networks also reach out to regionsand countries outside their core area (e.g.Lat<strong>in</strong> America and South Asia) to <strong>in</strong>fluencechange. This role can be further strengthened,for example through IPFE.F<strong>in</strong>ally, while the networks <strong>in</strong> some casesare be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>stitutionalized (i.e. their programmesare becom<strong>in</strong>g part and parcel <strong>of</strong>the <strong>in</strong>stitutions’ regular work), the implementation<strong>of</strong> many good ideas will dependon resource mobilization activities thatattract donors. Better fund<strong>in</strong>g will ensurethe networks can play an important role <strong>in</strong>reduc<strong>in</strong>g poverty and conserv<strong>in</strong>g the environment<strong>in</strong> Africa and Southeast Asia.ReferencesBoje, D.M. and T.J.

We discuss the efforts <strong>of</strong> the <strong>World</strong> Agr<strong>of</strong>orestry Centre tobuild research capacity, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g at postgraduate level, postgraduate research, review <strong>of</strong> curriculato <strong>in</strong>clude agr<strong>of</strong>orestry and network<strong>in</strong>g between <strong>in</strong>stitutions. We also cover the recommendations<strong>of</strong> a 1982 conference on pr<strong>of</strong>essional education <strong>in</strong> agr<strong>of</strong>orestry and the extent to which these havebeen implemented, and present the results <strong>of</strong> the Centre’s graduate tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g programme. F<strong>in</strong>ally, we outl<strong>in</strong>ethe <strong>challenge</strong>s to build<strong>in</strong>g capacity for agr<strong>of</strong>orestry research, along with some suggested strategiesand new opportunities.IntroductionCapacity build<strong>in</strong>g: def<strong>in</strong>itions and componentsCapacity build<strong>in</strong>g is the structured process by which<strong>in</strong>dividuals, groups, organizations, <strong>in</strong>stitutions and societies<strong>in</strong>crease their abilities to perform core functions,solve problems and def<strong>in</strong>e and achieve objectives, <strong>in</strong>order to understand and deal with their developmentneeds <strong>in</strong> a broad context and <strong>in</strong> a susta<strong>in</strong>able manner.Temu and Garrity (2003) suggest that <strong>in</strong>stitutions withthe right capacity have a good policy environment,good strategies, control capital and f<strong>in</strong>ancial resourcesand have the needed expertise to successfully mobilizetheir capacity.Szaro et al. (1997) def<strong>in</strong>e capacity build<strong>in</strong>g as enabl<strong>in</strong>gthe <strong>in</strong>digenous peoples <strong>of</strong> develop<strong>in</strong>g countries to carryout development processes successfully by empower-<strong>in</strong>g them through strengthen<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> domestic <strong>in</strong>stitutions,provision <strong>of</strong> domestic markets and improvement<strong>of</strong> local government efforts to susta<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>frastructures,social <strong>in</strong>stitutions and commercial <strong>in</strong>stitutions.An effective research capacity build<strong>in</strong>g strategy aimsto build scientific, technological and managerialabilities and capacities at the <strong>in</strong>dividual, <strong>in</strong>stitutionaland organizational levels. To be successful, it shouldemphasize mechanisms that br<strong>in</strong>g about a qualitativeimprovement <strong>in</strong> the way research is planned and implemented,and <strong>in</strong> the way results are dissem<strong>in</strong>ated.In order to facilitate the transfer and adoption <strong>of</strong>knowledge generated, it is essential that capacitybuild<strong>in</strong>g efforts <strong>in</strong>volve all stakeholders <strong>in</strong> the researchprocess (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g identification <strong>of</strong> issues, prioritisation,def<strong>in</strong>ition <strong>of</strong> research themes, activity monitor<strong>in</strong>g
