Doctors Global Programme – A farmer-to-farmer training programme
2020Also available in:
The Soil Doctors programme is developed under the umbrella of the Global Soil Partnership and promotes the establishment of a farmer-to-farmer training system. The Soil Doctors Global Programme aims to build the capacity of smallholder farmers on the practice of sustainable soil management and, by doing so, support governmental agencies and organizations working on agricultural extension at the field level (promoting broader impact and a reduction of costs). Trainings will also rely on the establishment of demonstration farms and experimental fields by the Soil Doctors, which might attract the interest of research institutes and universities involved in the programme. The programme also aims to educate farmers on soil science principles for practices of sustainable soil management and aims to achieve this by providing them with a set of tools composed of some educational materials and a soil testing methods (STM) manual for preliminary soil analysis. The STM is a collection of locally relevant, and easy to use, soil analyses procedures that would be selected by each area where the program is implemented. -

DocumentProgrammingCountry Programming Framework (CPF) for Namibia 2019-2023 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The Country Programming Framework (CPF) outlines the development priorities for collaboration between FAO and the Government of the Republic of Namibia. It thus seeks to contribute to national aspirations as espoused in the Fifth National Development Plan (NDP5) - whose theme is “Working Together Towards Prosperity”; recognising the key role of agriculture, fisheries and related sectors to the development of the country. The CPF is also aligned to relevant sectoral policies and is FAO’s contribution to the United Nations Partnership Assistance Framework (UNPAF) 2019-2023. The CPF focuses on four inter-related priorities - strengthening policy, legal, strategic and institutional frameworks for agriculture, fisheries, forestry, food security and nutrition; improving agricultural production, productivity, food safety and strengthened nutrition-sensitive value chains; strengthening capacity for natural resource management and land governance; and strengthening capacity for disaster risk reduction, resilience building and climate change adaptation and mitigation.
