Leveraging Agricultural Development

Israel, 17 – 22 November 2019

Background

MASHAV, Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation together with MATC, MASHAV's

Agricultural Training Center, The International School of Agricultural Sciences of the Robert H. Smith Faculty

of Agriculture, Food and Environment - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and METC, MASHAV's Aharon

Ofri International Training Center for Education, are honored to host this first International Seminar, to be

held in Kibbutz Shefayim, Israel, from 17 – 22 November 2019. The Seminar aims to bring together deans, rectors and directors from agricultural academic institutions,

agricultural research organizations and agricultural colleges to share experiences, discuss common issues

and reinforce cooperation, targeting to strengthen and improve agricultural technological capabilities, which

will ensure agricultural innovation and meet the challenges of the global development goals. Capacity building seems to stand in the core of many of targets of the UN 2030 Agenda. Since one of its main

principles is, "to leave no one behind,” it is critical that efforts to advance the goals also enhance the

opportunities for people at all levels and from all backgrounds to be in charge of their future development.

According to the definition of United Nations Development Program (UNDP): “In the global context, capacity

refers to the ability of individuals and institutions to make and implement decisions and perform functions

in an effective, efficient and sustainable manner. At the individual level, capacity building refers to the

process of changing attitudes and behaviors-imparting knowledge and developing skills while maximizing the

benefits of participation, knowledge exchange and ownership. At the institutional level, it focuses on the

overall organizational performance and functioning capabilities, as well as the ability of an organization to

adapt to change. At the systemic level it emphasizes the overall policy framework in which individuals and

organizations operate and interact with the external environment". Israel has been able to close the gap from being a poor developed country suffering of food shortage in the

1950s to becoming a member of the OECD in 2010 with less of 2% of its population involved in agricultural

activities, despite difficult climatic conditions, scarce land and water resources and other national challenges.

This fast agricultural development could be mainly attributed to the close collaboration and interaction

between the agricultural basic and applied research, the extension together with other supporting systems

and the farming community, resulting in the promotion and implementation of advanced technics in all

agricultural sectors. Agricultural and rural development relies on a participatory approach, which must include a process of

equitable and active involvement of all stakeholders in the formulation of policies and strategies and in the

analysis, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of each development action. Human capacity

building has a key role in this process.
