| To enable their agriculture to grow, developing nations now face the need to produce the additional knowledge and new skills. Human capital development through agricultural education and training (AET) is an essential component of all agricultural development strategies. When substantial changes take place in the context for agricultural development—such as are now occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)—the agricultural education and training system must be adjusted accordingly. In a number of African countries, such adjustments are already underway. This guide is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at planners and educators on rural development. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. |
