Through their tailor-made training programme, Nuffic made funding available to MDF to work with KIT (The Dutch Royal Tropical Institute) and the Institute of Natural Resources (INR) to provide a training and mentorship programme for Ngo staff that builds capacity in undertaking joint experimentation.
The Nuffic initiative comprised a 5-day training event followed by an implementation and mentorship component and then ending with a 3-day feedback session, involving around 25 participants, who worked in teams in 7 community based cases to design and implementation farmer level experimentation processes.
