Projects
The
project "Education for rural people and food security: a participatory
approach to poverty reduction" in support of the global flagship partnership
initiative, prepared by the NGO ACRA in collaboration with FAO was approved by
the European Commission. See web page: http://www.fao.org/sd/erp/ERPactivitieslast_en.htm
On
June 17, in Pristina, a Medium-term Strategy for Education for Rural
People, prepared during 2003 2004 by the Ministry of Education Science and
Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development with
the technical support of FAO was officially launched and presented to the
donors community. The strategy, which has been articulated around eight
strategic goals and five intervention programmes, is based on an assessment of
the basic education needs of rural people. The strategy and the assessment
study, as well as the participatory methodology presented in the attached
document will drive the policy and planning activities of the two ministries and
can be considered an interesting experience that could provide inspiration for
countries to undertake a similar collaborative effort in favour of Education for
Rural People. See web
page: http://www.fao.org/sd/erp/ERPevents12_en.htm
