Synopsis (short abstract) This document builds on efforts by practitioners to improve FFS processes and adopt to new ways of facilitating farmer field school (FFS) processes including during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when governments imposed lockdowns across the globe, which made normal face-to-face facilitation difficult. This document is primarily intended to inspire you, FFS facilitators, to integrate the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in FFS processes. Master trainers (MTs) will also find it valuable as an awareness-raising exercise and thus include certain aspects when designing and delivering facilitator training. The document is not a blueprint on ICTs, but a resource for you to build on the knowledge that you and FFS already have and expose you to more possibilities and opportunities in the day-to-day running of FFS in your different contexts. What it provides is not solutions but rather learning points for self-awareness.
