Book (stand-alone)Annotated reference list of training documents on Farmer Field Schools on forestry and agroforestry
A toolbox for master trainers and facilitators
2025Also available in:
No results found.This annotated reference list is the direct result of the identified need and key recommendations of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) stocktaking study of Farmer Field Schools (FFS).The stocktaking study was applied to forestry to update technical resources, identify discovery-learning activities and document and share lessons and FFS curricula on forestry and agroforestry. The study confirmed the potential of FFS to support capacity building and the empowerment of rural people in the use of forests and trees. It showed that FFS can support diversification of production and can improve livelihoods while contributing to the mitigation of climate change and the restoration of the ecosystem. The annotated reference list contains a compilation of training materials, guides and curricula that apply the FFS approach to achieve advanced capacity building in forestry and agroforestry.Additional training documents that have been included do not apply all FFS principles, but apply the key components of its human-centred, participatory learning approach. This compilation provides an overview of 31 selected training materials in English, French and Spanish. These materials were published by FAO, international government and non-governmental organizations and partners. Experiences across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean, and 14 different countries were included as examples. Topics comprise natural resource management, community forestry, woodlot development, agrobiodiversity, forest management, trees outside forests, forest gardens, nurseries, cocoa, integrated farm management and enterprise development. -

Book (stand-alone)Monitoring, evaluation and learning in farmer field school programmes
A framework and toolkit
2023This document focuses on the implementation phase of farmer field school (FFS) programmes and provides guidance and tools that will help farmer field schools to bring about the change expected by the programme and the communities it supports, by setting up a robust monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) system. It also introduces impact assessment as an integral management function linked to monitoring, evaluation and learning in FFS programmes.It is aimed at project and programme designers, managers and staff involved in planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning of project/programmes with a farmer field school component. It also targets those who will be involved in the initial design, planning, follow-up of monitoring, evaluation and learning and impact assessment to improve programme implementation. The document outlines background information and tools to help ensure that implementation of FFS programmes will lead to the anticipated outputs, outcomes and impacts, by setting up a robust MEL system and impact assessment methodology/framework for the improvement of ongoing FFS projects and programmes and the design of new ones.
