The FFS approach has spread and is increasingly spreading successfully around the world. Implementing organisations increasingly receive requests from organisations to provide training, documentation, training materials, resource persons and trainers on the FFS approach for implementing FFS globally. In support of these requests the FFS Foundation has developed the Global FFS Network and Resource Centre (FFSnet) in close collaboration with FAO, CTA and other partners. With the global expansion, institutionalisation and scaling-up of the FFS approach, a need has risen to establish a decentralised network and resource centre to cater for strategies and mechanisms for institutionalisation and scaling-up, quality control mechanisms, low cost implementation strategies and mechanisms, a discussion forum, exchange of experiences, and quick access to resource and training materials, trainers, experts and documentation.
