ORTIZ PEREZ, Rodobaldo; ANGARICA, Lydia; ACOSTA ROCA, Rosa  e  GUEVARA HERNANDEZ, Francisco. The context and its effect on the outputs of an project agricultural innovation. cultrop [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.2, pp. 141-148. ISSN 1819-4087.

Within the developing framework of the international project “Dissemination of Participatory Plant Breeding in Cuba, a program to strengthen Local Agricultural Innovation (LAIP) Phase III” and as part of the monitoring and evaluative tools, a methodology was prepared to assess the influence of local context on project impacts. The methodology and results from its performance in 2013 were appraised in 42 municipalities where the project was implemented, evaluating socioeconomic context effects and the measures for reducing any negative impact to the utmost, prioritizing positive effects to make planned impacts effective. Although such contextual elements are beyond the project action, its knowledge enables to read the sustainability of actions within short, medium and long-term periods. In turn, results offer the possibility of preparing a coherent plan of actions that ensures its resilience and identifies strategies according to local government priorities. In all cases, its effect was evaluated by four gradients (no influence, slight influence, medium influence and high influence) in each indicator; regarding the updated economic model of Cuba, the most important indicators chosen by participants were marketing, local market and agro-tourism
