Who should do the training?
Two trainers shall lead the training program: one with experience in agriculture and one with a community nutrition background. At least one of the trainers should have practical experience with participatory rural appraisal and extension techniques. Trainers shall have experience in participatory training and be familiar with the problems and needs of rural communities. This training should focus on practical experiences and applications, to enable the field workers to "learn by doing". What are the field workers' training needs? The trainers shall encourage participants to build on their own knowledge and experience as much as possible. Before deciding on the details of the course design, the trainers must assess the training needs of the field workers. This can be done by personal interview or by administering a questionnaire. Each field worker should indicate his/her particular strengths, weaknesses and expectations. This kind of needs assessment can help avoid common mistakes in training design, such as wasting time on a topic the field workers know, missing an opportunity by omitting a useful topic or failing to spend sufficient time on topics that require more attention. What is the duration of the training course? The training course is designed for two weeks. The results of the needs assessment may also determine how long the course will be. The course has been designed as follows: Sessions 1 through 6 each require one day; Sessions 7 and 8 each require a two days; and Sessions 9 and 10, one day each. Depending on the composition of the group and the experience of the field workers, some flexibility in preparing a timetable shall be allowed. Adequate time also needs to be allowed for travel to field sites and for refreshment breaks. Where shall trainings be conducted? The training shall be conducted in a rural area or near a village where field workers can conveniently visit home gardens and work directly with community groups and households. Examples of suitable training venues include local schoolrooms, mission schoolrooms and community and farmers' training centers. |
