Management
Development Programme for Facilitators of
Agriculture
and Rural Development Programmes |
| |
PREMISE: On-going Agricultural and Rural Development emphasized the use of community-driven approach to development. These
programmes have engaged the service of facilitators
in formulating and implementing local development plan using participatory approaches. ARMTI's interaction with the participating
States in the on-going programmes revealed that many of the facilitators
do not have required knowledge and skills to carry out this task effectively.

out their expected roles. At the end of the course, the participants should be able to:
|
|
|
- describe and relate the community-driven approach to agricultural and rural development;
- apply participatory skills to their job situation;
- facilitate the preparation and use of local development plan at the grassroots; and
- manage conflicts among natural resource users effectively.
