Farmer Business School Advisory Facility Duration: 01/2017-09/2019
Sustainable Smallholder Agri-Business
Background
The Farmer Business School (FBS) curriculum has been devel-oped by GIZ in 2010 with partners. This has been supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation anDevelopment and World Cocoa Foundation. 820 trainers and supervisors pro-vided by public and private partners have been qualified for FBS delivery and trained, since this time, over 380.000 cocoa pro-ducers (28% women) directly in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Came-roon, Nigeria and Togo.
Since 2012, 14 development programs have adopted and adapted FBS for 13 production systems other than cocoa in 15 African countries. Over 30 curricula have been developed with the support of the SSAB program. As at January 2017, the total outreach in Africa is exceeding 800.000 smallholders.
Further introductory processes are in preparation. More demand for advice on adaptation FBS and its implementation is ex-pected. The recently created FBS Advisory Facility will provide support to interested rural development institutions, private companies or development programs.
Our approach
The objective of the FBS advisory facility is to spread the
approach of the Farmer Business School (FBS) beyond the
cocoa regions of West- and Central-Africa for other value chains.
Services
Exchange and networking among FBS practitioners and
newcomers
Support interested institutions, companies or development
programs to adapt FBS to production systems other than
cocoa
Support them to carry out FBS autonomously for new pro-
duction systems in line with quality standards
Handbook for introduction and management of FBS
Organize qualification of new FBS Master Trainers
Advice on embedding FBS trainings in agricultural training
programs and other service delivery models
Support the establishment of an international FBS association
Identify and build capacities of organizations to host and
operate the FBS facility after 2019.
