Zambezi Region Training Program Update
We're excited to share the latest developments from our 8-month-long training program in the Zambezi region. In early February 2024, we introduced newly designed training materials aimed at enhancing small-scale farming productivity, resilience, and sustainability. The facilitator team has crafted informative posters showcasing various techniques to uplift small-scale farming. These posters serve as visual aids, illustrating methods to make farming more productive, resilient, and sustainable. Participants, already well-versed in these techniques, had the opportunity to engage with the posters, providing valuable feedback for further enhancement. These insights are invaluable in ensuring these resources meet the needs of our farming community!
Once finalized and colored, these posters will be made available on our website and other channels. Stay tuned for easy access to these educational materials, empowering you to implement effective strategies on your farm.
Project planning meeting for KHSA 2024
In January, NOA, the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF), and the Sustainability Institute (SI) held a planning meeting regarding project activities under the Knowledge Hub on Organic Agriculture and Agroecology in Southern Africa (KHSA), with a focus on finalizing several knowledge products and planning activities for the year ahead leading into a close-out period for the project towards the end of 2024. The project activities have been focused on sector-wide activities country-wide and the Multiplier Support Program (MSP) in the Zambezi region. Sector-wide activities aim to strengthen relationships among relevant stakeholders across the agricultural sector in Namibia and to facilitate the sharing and dissemination of information on organic agriculture and agroecology. The MSP has prioritized enhancing multipliers' capacity to effectively convey information on organic agriculture and agroecology, to build the capacity of small-scale farmers.
