Dimitra Newsletter 23: Listeners’ clubs: new partnerships

May 2013: Dimitra Newsletter 23 is now available in English and French (entire newsletter). You can also download individual articles, see overview Dimitra Newsletter 23. This newsletter outlines the project’s most recent activities and achievements, especially the development and growing impact of the Dimitra listeners’ clubs. These successes are producing growing recognition for the Dimitra approach and a strong increase in the number of partnerships.

FAO-Dimitra is part of the FAO-Belgium partnership programme “Knowledge Management and Gender”. The “Capitalization of good practices in support of agricultural production and food security” project – another component of the programme – recently organized two minifairs to exchange good practices, in Niger and Burkina Faso.

In Dimitra Newsletter 23: Mini-fairs for the exchange of good practices in Niger and Burkina Faso

May 2013: In December 2012, FAO’s “Capitalization of good practices in support of agricultural production and food security” project organized two mini-fairs to exchange good practices. One was held in Niamey, Niger and the other in Founzan, Burkina Faso. These meetings enabled the men and women who attended these events to share and exchange the good practices documented during this four-year project on agricultural input management. See article "Mini-fairs for the exchange of good practices in Niger and Burkina Faso", in Dimitra Newsletter 23.
