Las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales de cooperación internacional en España y su rol en proyectos de innovación frugal
Non-Governmental Organisations for international cooperation in Spain and their role in frugal innovation projects
Palabras clave:
innovación frugal, ONGD, impacto social, producción alimentaria sostenible, cooperación internacional al desarrolloResumen
La innovación frugal, como modelo de innovación, es un área de intervención poco estudiada en el marco de las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales para el Desarrollo (ONGD). El objetivo de esta investigación, a través de estudio de caso múltiple, es identificar y describir el nivel de conocimiento que disponen las ONGD españolas sobre innovación frugal, si cuentan con proyectos de innovación frugal, qué líneas de acción de la cooperación internacional española son más susceptibles de trabajar con modelos de innovación frugal y qué rol desempeñan dentro de este tipo de proyectos. Los hallazgos constatan que las ONGD destacan por su rol de promotoras y de enlace con la población diana local y que no son en general creadoras de soluciones de innovación. Estas desconocen mayoritariamente el modelo de la innovación frugal a nivel conceptual, aunque sus proyectos, un 89% de ellos, contienen de manera parcial o total un alto índice de componentes frugales. En concreto, para proyectos de producción alimentaria sostenible ubicados en zonas rurales, la innovación frugal tiene un gran potencial como modelo de innovación para el desarrollo. Queda como reto, en próximas investigaciones, explorar en profundidad el impacto social que producen este tipo de proyectos altamente frugales de producción alimentaria sostenible respecto a otros proyectos de innovación en el mismo ámbito.
