Synopsis (short abstract) Training is an important part of FAO’s activities in developing countries. FAO experts and consultants, especially those working in field projects, together with their national counterparts are frequently involved in various types of agricultural training. Training is an educational process which requires more than just information-giving or skills development. It requires a thorough understanding of the training process and the role and value of evaluation in it. There is a need to se nsitise trainers to the qualitative aspects of training, such as the need to ensure the appropriateness of the methodology and learning materials, in order to obtain desirable impact and thus enhance the outcome of the training. This FAO publication on Improving Training Quality: A Trainer’s Guide to Evaluation, is a revised and pretested version of A Trainer’s Guide to Evaluation which was originally published by FAO in 1987. This publication, which we will refer to as the Guide, is p repared for two major audience& FAO staff who are involved in conducting training activities, and their national counterparts.

    Linking people, places and products presents a methodological approach for the development of procedures to preserve and promote quality products, centred on the virtuous circle of origin-linked quality. The guide provides concepts, recommendations and practical examples from all over the world, together with self-evaluation exercises. With a view to boosting the capacities of those involved in such procedures, increasing the number of experts worldwide and also bearing in mind the recent level of interest in this subject, FAO and REDD plan to offer a complete training tool. FAO and REDD have thus worked together to support a bottom-up approach, developing a first training tool for a participatory process of training on the promotion of origin-linked quality and sustainable geographical indications. The training material in the present volume, Linking people for quality products: sustainable interprofessional bodies for geographical indications and origin-linked products, focuses on the management and promotion of the specific qualities of geographical indications (GIs) by local stakeholders gathered together in a collective management organization – the interprofession, or joint body – that are central to the commercial success, and ultimately to the sustainable impact, of any initiative to promote the link between a product and its origin.
