Synopsis (short abstract) This PFS training Manual is designed for use by Master Trainers (MTs) during the training of facilitators course. Each lesson/topic is complete in itself detailing the preparations to be made, the materials to be kept handy, the core message to be communicated, and the methods that can be used in communicating the messages. A few sessions may require the presence of a technical person as co-facilitator, but the rest can be handled by any person who has been trained as a PFS Master Trainer.

    Information and communication technologies for farmer field schools

    This document builds on efforts by practitioners to improve FFS processes and adopt to new ways of facilitating farmer field school (FFS) processes including during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when governments imposed lockdowns across the globe, which made normal face-to-face facilitation difficult. This document is primarily intended to inspire you, FFS facilitators, to integrate the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in FFS processes. Master trainers (MTs) will also find it valuable as an awareness-raising exercise and thus include certain aspects when designing and delivering facilitator training. The document is not a blueprint on ICTs, but a resource for you to build on the knowledge that you and FFS already have and expose you to more possibilities and opportunities in the day-to-day running of FFS in your different contexts. What it provides is not solutions but rather learning points for self-awareness.
