Synopsis (short abstract) This document, Part 5: Farmer Field School data recording and governance, is a key component of the standardized curriculum package for the Climate-Smart Farmer Field School (CS-FFS) initiative in Jordan. This part specifically delves into the critical role of data in ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability of the CS-FFS programme. Recognizing that data serves as the backbone of informed decision-making, programme monitoring, and evaluation, Part 5 provides a comprehensive framework for data recording and governance. This framework encompasses a detailed set of guidelines, policies, and mechanisms designed to manage the entire data lifecycle within the CS-FFS programme. It meticulously outlines standards for data collection, ensuring accuracy and relevance, while also emphasizing secure storage and responsible sharing practices. By promoting ethical data use and maintaining data integrity, the programme aims to build trust among participants and stakeholders. The importance of this module lies in its capacity to strengthen the CS-FFS programme on multiple fronts. By promoting meticulous data recording and adherence to robust governance principles, it contributes to enhanced programme effectiveness, allowing for more efficient field implementation and informed programme management. Furthermore, it fosters a culture of accountability and transparency, ensuring that programme resources are utilized responsibly, and that progress can be tracked effectively. This part also facilitates a continuous learning cycle, enabling ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation of the CS-FFS programme to the evolving needs of farmers and the dynamic challenges posed by climate change. In essence, Part 5 serves as an indispensable guide for all practitioners, facilitators, and supervisors engaged in the CS-FFS programme. It equips them with the necessary tools and knowledge to effectively manage data, ensuring its quality, security, and ethical use. By promoting data literacy and responsible data practices, this module contributes significantly to the programme's overarching goal of fostering climate-resilient sustainable development in Jordan, empowering vulnerable communities to adapt to climate change and build more secure livelihoods.

    This document, Part 4: Farmer Field School standard operating procedures, forms a key component of the standardized, one-curriculum package developed for the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative in Jordan. Launched under the "Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan" (BRCCJ) project, this initiative empowers smallholder farmers to enhance water use efficiency and adapt to climate change. The comprehensive curriculum comprises six distinct parts, providing a structured framework for disseminating climate-smart agriculture (CSA) knowledge and technologies through participatory learning and capacity development of smallholder farmers. The one-curriculum package has six parts, namely, Part 1: Climate-smart agriculture practices compendium, Part 2: Climate-smart practices catalogues, Part 3: Climate-smart Farmer Field School one-curriculum, Part 4: Climate-smart Farmer Field School standard operating procedures, Part 5: Climate-smart Farmer Field School data recording and governance, and Part 6: Climate-smart Farmer Field School digital support. Part 4 of the CS-FFS one-curriculum provides standard operational procedures for supervisors, master trainers, and facilitators involved in the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (CS-FFS) programme. This guide aims to ensure the successful implementation of the programme, including the training of facilitators and trainers (TOFs/TOTs) and the execution of CS-FFS with farmers. By standardizing procedures, the programme seeks to enhance the effectiveness of field school implementation, enabling adaptation to evolving agricultural challenges. Furthermore, it aims to refine the CS-FFS methodology to effectively incorporate climate-smart agriculture practices. Ultimately, this resource promotes quality and consistency in CS-FFS implementation across diverse regions and sectors, supporting the programme's overarching goals of empowering farmers, building climate resilience, and achieving sustainable agricultural production and improved livelihoods.

    This document, Part 3: Farmer Field School one-curriculum, is a crucial component of the standardized curriculum package designed for the Climate-smart Farmer Field School (FFS) initiative in Jordan. Launched under the “Building resilience to cope with climate change in Jordan through improving water use efficiency in the agriculture sector" (BRCCJ) project, this initiative aims to empower smallholder farmers to improve water use efficiency and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. The comprehensive curriculum consists of six distinct parts, providing a structured framework for disseminating climate-smart agriculture (CSA) knowledge and technologies through participatory learning and capacity development, enabling smallholder farmers to make informed decisions and implement sustainable agricultural practices. Part 3 outlines the fundamental concepts and methods of the Climate-smart Farmer Field School, aligning with the FAO Farmer Field School Guidance Document. By promoting a "learning by doing" methodology, it empowers farmers to build climate resilience and contribute to enhanced food security, sustainable agricultural production, and improved livelihoods. The CS-FFS one-curriculum aims to achieve several key objectives: enhance the effectiveness of Farmer Field School implementation, fostering continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving agricultural challenges; improve the CS-FFS methodology, aligning it with the latest climate-smart technologies and best practices; and standardize CS-FFS implementation to ensure consistency and quality across diverse regions and production systems. This resource serves as a practical guide for both farmers and facilitators involved in the FFS modules, offering a pathway towards a more resilient and sustainable agriculture sector in Jordan by fostering participatory learning, knowledge sharing, and the adoption of climate-smart technologies.
