Abstract:
The interdisciplinary research project “Economic and Ecological Restructuring of Land and Water in the Region Khorezm (Uzbekistan) : A Pilot Project in Development Research”, funded by the German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and implemented by the Center for Development Research (ZEF), University of Bonn, Germany, in collaboration with the United Nations Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), undertook to develop and put into practice a participatory approach to innovation development adapted to the realities of Uzbekistan. As this
approach consists of a series of logical steps to systematically bring relevant stakeholders and endusers into the innovation process and to further develop the innovation at hand in a collaborative
way, the research team coined it the “Follow-the-Innovation (FTI)” approach. These guidelines bring together the main lessons learnt with regard to the design and implementation of FTI in the post-Soviet setting of rural Uzbekistan. They are meant to inspire researchers involved in finding appropriate innovations for agricultural development in and around Uzbekistan as well
as other governmental and non-governmental organisations involved in promoting innovative agricultural practices within the region.
