 A119 Training in Agroforestry
ICRAF, 2003
ICRAF's introduction to this very comprehensive resource states: "In response to training and education
needs and opportunities, as
expressed by the Centre’s partner institutions as well as its scientists, the Centre has organized numerous
courses on general and
specialist topics related to agroforestry research and development. The Centre’s training and education
staff are planning, organizing and
implementing these training events in close collaboration with its scientists who are the primary resource
persons for any such event.
Recently, the Centre has incorporated a ‘training-of-trainers’ approach for some of its training courses
to maximize the impact of
agroforestry extension services. Participants in these training-of-trainers events are the Centre’s
training and education alumni and partners
working at national research, development, training and education institutions. Many training and education
resource persons are primarily
subject matter specialists in agroforestry and take on training or teaching assignments in addition
to their other routine responsibilities.
Certainly most of them have rarely been exposed to the science and practice of education and it is with
this audience in mind that we
decided to produce a practical Toolkit that will help them in being better training organizers and resource
persons."
