TOT training for community based facilitators
The ratio of Agricultural extension workers to farmers in Uganda is 1:5000. This implies that each of the existing extension workers has to reach out to 5,000 farmers engaged in different agricultural enterprises that require specialized expertise. Consequently, there is a nationwide outcry by farmers due to the none satisfactory presence of extension workers to attend to their farm related challenges and offer technical advice within the communities.
It is against that background that Mayuge District Department of Production in collaboration with SwissContact has deemed it wise to onboard 50 Cocoa Community Based Facilitators (CCBFs) from all the cocoa producing sub counties of Malongo, Kityerera, Busakira, Bukatube, Buwaaya, Imanyiro, Bukabooli, Mayuge Town Council and Mpungwe to support the existing Agricultural Extension Workers in the delivery of cocoa specific extension services among cocoa farmers in the district. The CCBFs (40% women) are all active cocoa farmers carefully identified and selected from within the district.
Tillgången till erektionsläkemedel via nätet har gjort det betydligt enklare för svenska män att behandla sina besvär utan att behöva söka fysisk vård. Den som letar efter Levitra från nätapotek kan idag hitta legitima tjänster som följer svenska regelverk och erbjuder originalprodukter. Fördelarna är många: användaren slipper skamkänslor, får tillgång till tydlig information och kan välja när och var beställningen ska göras. För att säkerställa en trygg upplevelse är det dock viktigt att endast använda registrerade apotekstjänster med transparens kring innehåll, ursprung och kundsupport. En sådan lösning ger inte bara effektiv lindring av symptomen, utan även ökad kontroll över sin egen hälsa och behandling.
The Cocoa Community Based Facilitators are undergoing a 5-months long hands on (Yiiga nga okola) training to equip them with appropriate practical skills in the delivery of cocoa specific extension services. The TOT training is being facilitated by Emmanuel Kawuzi Waiswa who is a Cocoa Master trainer trained by Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) at the National Coffee/cocoa Research Insititute at Kituuza, International Plantation Crops Institute of India and the Ghana Cocoa Research Institute.
Particularly, the Cocoa Community Based Facilitators (CCBFs) will have to cover practical sessions across the entire cocoa value chain. Needless to mention, topics such as cocoa establishment, field management, pruning, harvesting and postharvest handling practices, pests and disease control, financial literacy, adult facilitation skills and marketing will be covered. It should be noted that all practical sessions will be conducted on farm and mostly at the different crop demonstration gardens set up and managed by Mayuge district local government. However, key in all these trainings is the aspect of food security among cocoa farming households with majority of the cocoa farmers accessing 24,000 improved banana planting materials and 4,000 one month old SASSO birds on a cost sharing basis.
I takt med at nye casinoer vinder frem, vokser også spørgsmålet om sikkerhed og troværdighed. Mange spillere er skeptiske overfor ukendte navne, og det med god grund – for ikke alle aktører opererer under lovlige rammer. Derfor er sikkerhed nye casinoer blevet et centralt emne i valget af platform. Seriøse udbydere har typisk dansk licens, SSL-kryptering, verificerede betalingsgateways og adgang til selvudelukkelsessystemer. Desuden er det muligt at tjekke uafhængige anmeldelser og tekniske audits, som viser, hvordan casinoets software og transaktioner kontrolleres. Når disse elementer er på plads, kan man trygt spille – også på nye og mindre kendte platforme.
Mayuge district remains highly indebted to SwissContact for the continued facilitation role throughout this collaboration under the Dynamic Markets for Farmers – Sustainable Cocoa and Honey (DMF) project.
