To achieve its objectives, our agriculture component provides funding and supports for the following:
• Organized and Built the Capacity of CBOs
• Developed Improved Farming System
• Increased Seed Rice Multiplication
• Increased Small holder Sales of Agricultural Production
• Increased Vegetable, Tuber and Root Production
• Restocking Livestock and Poultry
• Increased Fisheries Production
• Improved Domestic Product Quality
• Improved farming systems
• Established Farmer Field School
• Promote Natural Resource Management
Capacity building of community based institutions is one of the characteristics that distinguished a development project from a relief effort. Global Aid Direct recognizes the importance of CBOs in implementing activities and ensuring sustainability for the technologies and systems identify by a CBO capacity building program, as such, this activity focuses on the creation of community based organizations, CBOs in our Agricultural operational areas. This exercise defines the operational context for intervention of all the other GLAID activities.
This activity have in place an evolving capacity building building/training system that reliably anticipates and responds to, and interacts with, the service system in order for the service system to carry out its functions. Training design is predicated on three characteristics: use of appropriate and professional informative design, including opportunities to practice learned skills; provision of follow-up support to trainees to help them implement knowledge and skills acquired; and targeting of training content; attached in diagnosis of participants capacity gaps; formal assessment of participants training needs; and strategic participants selection.
This activity consist of systemic mechanisms for in-depth diagnosis of organizational capacity gaps or formal needs assessment of training participants. It also standardize procedures for meaningful direct consultation with participants on training needs and priorities. In most cases, it directly provide follow-up support to facilitate business implementation of learning; it also systematically link training activities to complementary capacity-building support provided by operations or other partners.
This activity training design includes diagnosis and training-needs assessment requirements for participant selection criteria; standards for the use of practical exercises and other active-learning techniques within training; use of follow-up support; and provisions for monitoring and evaluation, including specification of performance-change objectives and key monitorable indicators. Financially, it occasionally develops capacity-building initiatives that take one of three forms:
- "custom capacity building" activities designed largely by participants that involve consulting and peer learning activities;
- capacity building services provided by an intermediary to a selected group of participants; or
- a specific and unique service provided by an intermediary to any participant that wishes to take advantage of the opportunity.
Hence, this activity is intended to:
- Organized community based organization for agriculture production;
- Encourage communities and governments for acceptance of the community based organization structure by conducting community mobilization and sensitization meetings;
- Established monitoring and information systems to track CBOs’ progress and performance;
- Provide training for members of community institutions to be able to plan, manage and sustain activities of their respective groups;
- Improve access to appropriate cultivation inputs and to community agricultural infrastructure. For example, locally grown grain and vegetable seeds are provided, school-gardens promoted, and village storage facilities improved;
- Promote livestock and poultry production in the family sector particularly, caws, goats, pigs, chickens and ducks as well as fisheries activities;
- Train state and community agricultural extension workers to promote the formation of voluntary farmers and women associations on a village basis;
- Stimulate local marketing systems by providing support to emergent traders.
