Synopsis (short abstract) This case study report was written as a part of the Agriculture Human Capital Investment Study, funded by FAO Investment Centre and with the support of the International Food Policy Research Institute and the CGIAR Research Programme on Policies, Institutions and Markets (PIM) and the FAO Research and Extension Unit. Haku Wiñay/Noa Jayatai (“Let’s grow together” in the indigenous languages Quechua and Shipibo-Conibo, respectively) is one of the few government programs that work with poor rural households in a subsistence economy. Through the implementation of community projects composed mostly by training and technical assistance packages directed to improve production techniques as well as the household organization and financial inclusion, the programme seeks to contribute to the economic inclusion of poor households in rural areas improving their access to markets. Training packages are implemented by local promoters called Yachachiqs (“The one who knows and teaches”), selected and hired by the community for three years to implement community-based projects funded by the government office FONCODES. This study seeks to provide further knowledge about the programme major achievements and complement the literature that has been already developed about the impacts of the programme. For that purposes, structured interviews were performed with key informants, especially Yachachiqs, of the two poorest regions in Peru, Cajamarca and Huancavelica.

Investing in farmers – or agriculture human capital – is crucial to addressing challenges in our agri-food systems. A global study carried out by the FAO Investment Centre and the International Food Policy Research Institute, with support from the CGIAR Research Programme on Policies, Institutions and Markets and the FAO Research and Extension Unit, looks at agriculture human capital investments, from trends to promising initiatives. One of the nine featured case studies is the Support Programme for the Renovation and Development of Professional Training in the Agropastoral and Fisheries Sectors in Cameroon. The programme is part of the training-integration continuum preparing young people for jobs in the agropastoral and fishery sectors and has contributed to strengthening their entrepreneurial and social skills. The success of the model is based on fostering common values centred on the young person’s life project, the involvement of professionals and families in the training, and the building of national expertise in the conception, design, implementation and evaluation of the model. This publication is part of the Country Investment Highlights series under the FAO Investment Centre's Knowledge for Investment (K4I) programme.

This report examines the potential of using mass media to enhance the access of poor rural households and women to educational opportunities. It underlines the importance for the mass media to create conditions and mechanisms whereby people have genuine access to media. The successful and innovative experience of the Bayanihan Broadcasting Cooperation (BBC) in the municipality of Infanta in Quezon Province in the Philippines is documented through a case study that describes the BBC’s innovative community-based radio broadcasting model, which has been effectively used to promote sustainable agriculture. The study develops a framework for a community-based radio distance learning system (CBR-DLS) which can serve as a helpful guide to assist with the planning and implementation of radio based distance learning programmes elsewhere.
