GFRAS GGP NOTES
- 1. GFRAS Global Good Practice (GGP) Initiative By Hlami Ngwenya Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (GFRAS) Eastern Africa Policy Dialogue, Kampala, Uganda 16-18 June 2015
- 2. Global Good Practices – The Idea Behind 1. Challenge to find globally relevant approaches -Search for global best practices by different stakeholders But: No such thing as best practice –> highly dependent on environmental, economic, socio-cultural, political context 2. Challenge of access to knowledge and experiences -A lot of information and knowledge on approaches and innovation available But: Scattered in different online and physical libraries, platforms, fora, and often presented in difficult language (e.g. scientific) 2
- 3. Global Good Practices – The Idea Behind Addressing challenge 1: -Present systematic description of extension approaches, • Outlining their philosophy, strengths and weaknesses, • Best-fit considerations (e.g. requirements for the approach to work in terms of context and capacities etc), • Implementation steps, costs implications, etc. Addressing challenge 2 -Present approaches in easy-to-understand, • Short, practical, and easy to access (online, no costs) formats, • Using simple language for everyone to understand 3
- 4. Global Good Practices Note - Coverage of Topics Workshops and exchanges for priority setting 5 main dimensions/ Thematic areas •Governance Structure •Policy Environment •Management and capacity strengthening •Advisory Methods •Cross-cutting factors Ensures balance of topics 4
- 5. Global Good Practices – Preparation and implementation 2013: Preparatory phase •Idea discussed and refined with donor representatives from BMGF, GIZ, and with experts from CGIAR, MEAS, GFRAS, FAO, Central Agricultural University (India). Advisory group to define database on how to structure approaches, define formats, and processes 5
- 6. First set of GGP publications 2014: Publication of first three notes •Innovation Platforms, •Farmer Field Schools, •Mobile-based “bundled” services: Example of Agri-Fin Mobile 6
- 7. Global Good Practices Note Quality Assurance in Development process 1. Advisory group to select proposals (in consultation with regions), and follow the process, including all stages of notes’ development 1. Three review/feedback rounds by Advisory Group (proposal and outline), and 2-3 external reviewers, not coming from the same sector, per note(draft note) 1. Layout and editing by internationally recognised editing organisation 2. Appropriate honorarium to enable authors to provide quality products, without creating financial incentives for authors 7
- 8. Global Good Practices – going to scale Important funding from GIZ 1st call 2nd call 8
- 9. Current GGP notes • Currently 20 notes in elaboration, • Planned to be published by the 6th GFRAS Annual Meeting in Kyrgyzstan 9 Extension paradigms overview Farmer to Farmer Extension Enabling Rural Innovation Video for RAS Integrating Gender into RAS Nutrition and RAS Management Advice for Family Farms The Role of Producer Organisations in RAS Mobile phones for RAS Webportals for RAS Agricultural Innovation System ICT4RAS Rural Resource Centers Cooperatives ¨for participation in high value chain Value chain oriented RAS Community workers initiative Radio for RAS Social Media for RAS

Notes de l'éditeur
- Politicians, project and extension managers, extension providers, always look for THE best approach, THE solution to the challenges in RAS, etc. But experience shows that there is no such thing as a best practice in extension, as approaches, methods, and tools, highly depend on the environment: what advise is needed (what technical topic is touched), how is the infrastructure of the region, what is the political and economic environment, what are socio-cultural characteristics (who works on the field, when, how, is there any kind of segregation, etc). With RAS more prominently on the international agenda again, a lot of innovation happended regarding new approaches, methods, and tools that have been invented, refined, tested, applied. However, knowledge on this is often scattered, written by researchers in a very academic language that extension officers sometimes find difficult to understand.
- What are advisory services? RAS are the institutions that work with men and women farmers and other important stakeholders in rural economies to provide rural people with the skills and access to knowledge to improve their livelihoods and wellbeing. Traditionally, RAS disseminate information about technologies, markets, inputs and financial matters; they also help farmers to develop their agricultural, management, and marketing skills. Modern RAS also promote interaction among farmers and other rural actors, the private sector, research institutes, education centres, and government. At the same time, they help actors to improve their market access, deal with changing patterns of risk, and protect the environment. RAS are also called extension or agricultural advisory services. Examples of RAS activities include: Creating and supporting links between farmers’ organisations and agricultural research programmes Supporting communities in setting up informal and formal rural organisations Providing training and advice for farmers and agribusinesses and helping them improve their links with the value chain Not just developing countries. They exist in so called developed countries too and we believe that interaction between the two can inform both. So I would not have this phrase.
