    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.
