Learning development: Empowering FEAST facilitators to better serve smallholder farming communities

This document is licensed for use under a Creative Commons Attribution –Non commercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License October 2014 The International Livestock Research Institute developed the FEAST methodology and tools to help partner organizations improve smallholder farmers’ access to quality livestock feed. While the FEAST program has proven quite popular, the benefit to farmers is constrained by facilitators’ proficiency with the FEAST tool set, which is in turn constrained by ILRI’s capacity to deliver training to partner organization staff. To address these issues, we have launched a new learning initiative to make improved training available to a wider audience, both in the classroom and online.
