Abstract:
BAZH NGO identified the innovations for Human Development in Albania by preparing the 1ST Albanian Catalogue of Innovations for Human Development (ACIHD) in collaboration with UNDP/IDEASS (innovation for development and south-south cooperation. ACIHD aims to improve the integrated territorial development processes by increasing the use of local innovations. ACIHD can be updated and enriched with other contributions in order to implement a permanent service for human development innovation. The main aim of ACIHD is to identify, illustrate, and transfer the innovations to Albanian territorial development actors abroad, promoting their use with technical assistance activities. ACIHD is an important tool to enhance Albanian development actors and their ideas. ACIHD is a novel instrument for creating a network for transferring the know-how on innovative technologies and methodologies to local actors interested in solutions to territorial problems. ACIHD was developed with the cooperation of 170 actors, establishing contacts and collaborations with Albanian National Institutions and Ministries, as well as Academic partnerships with Albanian University, research centres, and civil society associations for the systematisation of creative practices of local actors, bringing innovative solutions to common problems. In its original form, ACIHD involved 13 innovations successfully performed by Albanian authors in the fields of agriculture [1-6], breeding [7], local development [8-10], environmental technologies [11-12], and health care [13]. The identified innovations were elaborated scientifically in their final form with the support of BAZH International Scientific Consultant (ISC) by the participative methodology and collaborating with the Albanian Agency for Research & Technology Innovation centre that funded the Catalogue in its integrated form. ACIHD presents also the catalogue of sector studies (CSS) regarding the fields of agriculture [14-16] and green technology [17-18]. Other experiences are born in continuity with the Catalogue project to develop a smart networking system for monitoring and fostering research and innovation capacity in SMEs across Adriatic Region (AULEDA). The methodology developed in ACIHD for identifying, presenting, and valorising Albanian innovations was officially recognized as Best Practices by Feeding Knowledge (Sustainable management of natural resources in 2015.
