By the end of 2023, we want to reach more than 60,000 smallholder farmers with AGRAR<\/h2>\n\n

In 2022, we were able to train more than 15,000 smallholder farmers in Nigeria as part of our AGRAR project. In the first phase of the project, we already reached 30,000. By the end of 2023<\/strong> , we want to have reached more than 60,000 smallholder farmers<\/strong> with our measures. At the same time, AFOS promotes the adaptation of certification to national and international standards. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

AFOS AGRAR project in Nigeria<\/h3>\n\n

AGRAR focuses on three key areas of development: (1) development of sustainable agricultural practices, (2) corporate governance related to agricultural production, and (3) effective cooperative formation. These measures lead to improved agricultural cultivation methods<\/strong>, as well as to the creation of rural wealth<\/strong> and positive synergies within the value chain.<\/p>\n\n

Our program to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers is part of the planned measures of the AFOS INGO AGRAR Phase II project<\/a> (March 2021 to December 2024). The aim is to build the capacity of smallholder farmers in Nigeria through a training programme on good agricultural practices and farm management<\/strong> . These are mainly the value chains of the production of cereals and pulses, poultry, aquaculture, cashews and cassava. The skills of smallholders are being expanded in order to achieve higher yields and thus higher incomes.<\/p>\n\n

AFOS Nigeria signs AHK agreement for TVET courses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In order to achieve these goals, cooperation and cooperation with local stakeholders is essential. We are therefore very pleased that AFOS Nigeria concluded a cooperation agreement with the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria in<\/em> December 2022. The aim of the cooperation is to adapt our educational offers<\/strong> – Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and the work of an Agricultural Training Centre (ATC) initiated by AFOS – to national and international certification standards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Trainees will receive certificates with global relevance in the future<\/h3>\n\n

Through this cooperation, the parties involved have the opportunity to actively exchange ideas<\/strong> and adapt their curricula accordingly. The development and implementation of joint processes for the adaptation of the AFOS TVET programme offering and the ATC are thus promoted and valuable learning processes at various levels<\/strong> are made possible. In the future, smallholder farmers in Nigeria will have the opportunity to acquire certificates with global relevance.<\/p>\n\n

The AFOS Foundation works with national and international institutions to ensure the provision of the highest level of training <\/strong>as part of its AGRAR LL project in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n
