External review of the Rimisp Rural Territorial Dynamics (RTD) project : synthesis of science/policy influence and organizational evaluations

An impressive and regionally unique combination of scientific output, policy influence and organizational structure has emerged at Rimisp over the past four years (2011). This document synthesizes the results of both evaluation components, the first focusing on scientific contributions and policy influence, and the second focusing on organizational issues. The Rimisp-RTD program integrates and synthesizes policy, practice and intellectual debate at a subnational geographic scale in a way that links disciplines. It contributes to the design and implementation of more effective public policies that will stimulate and support rural territorial dynamics in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)
