Résumé
Pour répondre aux nombreux défis que rencontre l’agriculture en Afrique subsaharienne, l’accompagnement à l’innovation et à l’entrepreneuriat innovant et inclusif est fondamental. À ce jour, les recherches dans ce domaine se sont centrées sur les services fournis par les différents acteurs, mais sans s’intéresser aux phénomènes de coordination entre les acteurs qui fournissent ces services. Cet article propose de combler ce manque en étudiant un écosystème de services supports à l’innovation (ESSI) qui s’est mis en place pour accompagner la création du label Bio-SPG au Burkina Faso. Nous avons réalisé une étude de cas historique de cet écosystème à travers des enquêtes auprès des acteurs directement impliqués et la consultation de données secondaires. Les résultats font état d’une mise en place en trois temps de cet écosystème (phases préliminaire, d’initiation et de montée en puissance), de trois niveaux de relations entre les acteurs (fortes, faibles et de l’ordre du contexte) et de l’existence d’une organisation hub qui remplit plusieurs rôles, notamment de mise en relation et de mobilisation des acteurs. Ce travail appelle à approfondir ces questions d’ESSI en Afrique subsaharienne, de rôles de l’organisation hub et de compétences nécessaires pour les assumer.

Abstract
To respond to the many challenges faced by agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa, support to innovation and innovative and inclusive entrepreneurship is fundamental. To date, research in this area has focused on the services provided by the different actors, but without focusing on the coordination phenomena between the actors who provide these services. This article proposes to fill this gap by studying an innovation support services ecosystem (ISSE) that was set up to support the creation of the Bio-SPG label in Burkina Faso. We carried out a historical case study of this ecosystem through surveys of the actors directly involved and the consultation of secondary data. The results show a three-stage implementation of this ecosystem (preliminary, initiation and ramp-up phases), three levels of relationships between the actors (strong, weak and context-related) and the existence of a hub organization which fulfils several roles, in particular connecting and mobilizing stakeholders. This work calls for delving deeper into these questions of ISSE in sub-Saharan Africa, the roles of the hub organization and the competence required to assume them.
