The purpose of this guide is to contribute to the development of functional capabilities among individuals and organizations that support innovation in Latin America. The guide uses the common framework for capacity development promoted by the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) to identify and strengthen key functional capacities in organizations and individuals. According to the common framework, strengthening functional capabilities allows actors to reflect and learn, collaborate, navigate complexity, and participate in political strategies and processes. Furthermore, it allows us to focus on the future and not only on solving current problems.
