About Governance of Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System. The Case of Bulgaria. Part III
This paper is the third part of our attempt to examine the governance, efficiency, and development of the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS) in Bulgaria based on a project related to mechanisms and the modes of agrarian governance in Bulgaria. The research continues with the expert assessment on governance of AKIS in Bulgaria and the SWOT analysis regarding development strategy and intervention needs providing recommendations and actionable steps to address the identified weaknesses and enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and inclusiveness of the AKIS governance.
It is emphasising the approaches of comparative data and institutional analysis, gap analysis, SWOT, strategic orientation, experts’ assessments to identify actors and relations, state and trends in development, assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, formulate adequate strategy, and specify overall and public intervention needs of AKIS in the country.
