In a rapidly changing world, farmers need a package of innovations and services, in addition to continuous access to knowledge and information. Having all this under one roof and in a rural setting can greatly accelerate adoption of innovations and increase benefits to farmers. Farmer training centres have been initiated by many actors, under different forms; for example, Maisons Familiales Rurales1, Songhaï Centres,2 and Agribusiness Development Centres. These initiatives focus on training young individuals and preparing them for a career in agriculture. However, they are less useful in serving the wider farming community for large scale adoption of agricultural innovations. Therefore, new models of community-based extension are under development.

The Global Good Practices (GGP) Initiative was initiated by GFRAS partners to provide a knowledge platform for practitioners, in which theoretical and practical know-how on extension and practical experiences is collected and systematised in an easily accessible and usable form as a public good. It is aimed at field extension agents and managers.
The collection of GGP Notes on these pages is continuously enlarged and updated.
This file contains all GGP Notes (English and French versions) in a single compressed folder (15.4 MB).
