Revisiting the Kaleidoscope Model for Policy Analysis and Exploring its Applicability to the Complex Agrifood Systems of Countries in Central and West Asia and North Africa: Methodological Guideline
Policies are critical to improving agrifood systems innovations and overall economic performance. While favorable policy decisions shape the incentives and actions of stakeholders, suboptimal policies could create bottlenecks and hinder development progress (Haggblade and Babu 2017; Resnick et al. 2018). Therefore, having an impact on policy decisions requires a good understanding of a given country’s underlying policy processes. Policies are, however, implemented by a range of stakeholders and bringing them together for action is often a challenge.
