Following the success of the French edition of the Agricultural and rural finance training Programme (FAR2021), FAO, the Appui au Développement Autonome (ADA) and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of Luxembourg (MAEE) are launching the English version which will start in May 2021.  

As for the former edition, which was held face-to-face in Burkina Faso in 2019 and as e-learning in 2020, the objective of this new edition in English is to provide a unique forum to explore, reflect and exchange ideas and strategies for the rural and agricultural sector, with a particular focus on the impact of climate change, especially in Africa.

The programme of the FAR 2021 will be held in 2 sessions: e-learning from May 17th, 2021 (4 weeks) and face-to-face from October 11th, 2021 (1 week).

Experts will present specific activities and results, thereby making it possible to both identify and analyse the experiences in order to draw lessons in terms of best practices throughout the globe.

The programme is intended for senior managers of financial institutions and public bodies who are in the position to use the principles and tools provided to formulate strategies to design and deliver products which contribute to the financing of agricultural value chains. The programme is dedicated to participants coming from organisations working in Africa.
