The main activities planned in the project are: Implementation of a large extension programme on CA and GAP in order to improve
the knowledge and capacities of farmers, based on a cascade training from Masters of
Trainers (MoT), Trainers of Farmers (ToF) to farmers, and on a farmer field school
approach, Development of an e-agriculture platform, Support institutionalization of CA and GAP support capacity of government, private
sector and NGO extension workers, Support the creation of new market linkages and modalities (collective contracts)
