Book (stand-alone)Promoting rural women's cooperative businesses in Thailand. A training kit. 2004
Also available in:
No results found.This publication is an outcome of an FAO Technical Cooperation Project in collaboration with the Cooperative Promotion Department (CPD) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Thailand. The project assisted in strengthening the training capacity of the CPD through training of trainers and field demonstration activities in five regions of Thailand. While cooperative women’s groups have been set up as part of the government’s efforts to help increase the incomes of women, the focus to date has mainly been on providing support services. This training kit instead focuses on capacity building to help women’s cooperative groups manage, promote, expand and diversify their businesses and move from dependence to self-reliance. The publication includes a comprehensive set of training modules on business concepts, gender issues, costing and pricing, bookkeeping and financial statements, marketing, risk management, business planning, leadership and team work, networking, and monitor ing and evaluation. Case studies are also provided. -
Book (stand-alone)Assessing the quality of agricultural market information systems: A self-assessment guide 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Over approximately the past 40 years, many developing countries invested in the establishment of agricultural market information systems or services (MIS). These systems or services were initially run by government agencies, but since the turn of the millennium private organizations have shown interest in providing data on a commercial basis. To date, however, these private services, while usually being more efficient than the government-run ones, have also largely depended on donor support for their continued operation. It has proved difficult to develop a profitable business model as many of the clients are small farmers and traders. Agricultural market information systems or services (MIS) can cover staples, horticultural crops, livestock, and export commodities. They are generally designed to collect, process, and disseminate or distribute data of relevance to farmers, traders and other buyers, such as processors, but the data they generate can also be used for a variety of purposes by governments, donors, international organizations and others. -
BookletClimate Smart Agriculture curriculum/module for in-service and extension agents training in Myanmar 2019
Also available in:
The FAO is implementing a project entitled “Sustainable Cropland and forest management in priority agro-ecosystems of Myanmar (SLM-GEF)” in coordination with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MoNREC) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI) with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project promotes climate smart agriculture (CSA) policies and practices at different levels in Myanmar. One of the key activities of the project is to establish a national CSA/SLM training program mainstreaming CSA/SLM in the agriculture related academic courses and trainings conducted by Yezin Agricultural University (YAU), State Agricultural Institutes (SAI), Department of Agriculture (DoA) and Department of Agriculture Research (DAR). In order to integrate CSA within the research, extension, training and development programs, the project has made efforts to revise/develop the curricula integrating CSA topics for example: i) CSA component integrated into the Masters and Bachelor level courses on Agriculture at YAU; ii) CSA component integrated into the Diploma in Agriculture course at SAIs; iii) one month training on CSA together with other subjects for the in-service or refresher course at Central Agriculture Research and Training Centre (CARTC) under DoA and iv) one week intensive Training of Trainers (ToT) programme aiming for the researchers, extension agents and teachers of DoA, DAR and YAU. This curriculum for one-month inservice or refresher course training will serve as the main reference document for trainers (professors/lectureres/teachers/Extension Workers/Researchers) from the different relevant organisations to include the related topics on CSA into their courses for teaching.
