On the occasion of the Regional Conference of the Green Innovation Centers 2018, AfricaRice has organized an exhibition of posters presenting the different components of the "An Operational Framework for Innovation and Youth Employment at Large Scale". The operational framework strengthens the agricultural innovation system by facilitating interaction between actors.

• It provides a network of centers of professional agricultural in 17 districts in Benin prioritized by ProCIVA. Relays in all the municipalities of these districts ensure a local advice reaching large number of producers even in the most remote villages.
• An innovative service delivery business model ensures the effective involvement of local organizations and youth in the action. It guarantees a quality service at affordable costs.
• The skills of the various actors are reinforced by complementary tools of professional training including technical guides, distance learning (e-learning) and coaching.
• A state-of-the-art information system facilitates coordination, dialogue, complete process documentation and real-time tracking.

The simplicity of the solutions, the modular structure of the operational framework, the flexibility and the affordable costs contribute to sustainability and facilitate the adoption in other districts of Benin and other countries of Africa.

The exhibition allowed participants to meet the persons who elaborated the various components. Do not hesitate to contact the persons mentioned at the bottom of each presentation for more information.
