In 2008, DESMI staff conducted a total of 22 workshops and 83 follow up visits on sustainable agriculture, involving 950 participants representing 131 communities. The participants are ‘agroecology promoters’ chosen by their communities who attend the workshops in return for making a commitment to training their neighbors in sustainable agriculture techniques.
The training is multiplied as the promoters replicate what they have learned in follow-up workshops that they give in their own villages. The impact therefore reaches many more people than those who attend the initial workshops.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can recieve an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
