Training of Trainers for land restoration through beekeeping (肯尼亚)

Training of Trainers (ToTs)

描述

The Regreening Africa project identifies key individuals within the community who are then trained on land restoration through beekeeping. Through this "training of trainers" approach the trainees then train others.

The Regreening Africa project identifies key individuals within communities who are trained on land restoration through beekeeping: the trainees then train others themselves. The characteristics of this “training of trainers” (ToT) approach is that it is community-based, and those selected for training work within areas they can reach with ease from their homes. They are also required to be practicing, or demonstrating interest in, one or more approaches promoted by the project. The selected persons include women, the disabled, and youth, as well as mature people who have the experience to integrate local knowledge.
The objectives of the approach are to cut down on the cost of implementing land restoration by building capacity at the local level. By promoting peer-learning and establishing learning sites within the community, it is believed that a greater number of people can be efficiently reached. The goal is to achieve more trees on farms (especially "bee-friendly" trees) and increased sales of honey and other products, leading to better living standards and a sustained, healthy environment.
Training includes technologies that cover tree growing (including farmer managed natural regeneration) with an emphasis on beekeeping as a commercial venture within a promising value chain. Thus, they are trained specifically on beekeeping as well as hive making to meet the high demand for honey. They are supported with high value seed and tree seedlings for integration into farms to support their apiary businesses. The main stakeholders involved include World Vision Kenya who mobilize farmers and link them to other actors in beekeeping value chains; ICRAF who provide training on beekeeping and hive making, as well as technologies for tree growing and management; and county government who have constituted a forum to regulate prices. Communities then implement the technologies. Initially the farming communities disliked bees due to possible attacks, but after training about setting up apiaries and bee-based businesses, and based on their experience after implementing the lessons learnt from the training, they have become more receptive to the approach.

方法目标和有利环境

该方法的主要目的/目标
To enable communities benefit from the land restoration approaches, equally reach many people with the technology and build local resources and capacities.
推动实施本办法所应用技术的条件
  • 社会/文化/宗教规范和价值观: The approach provides incentive for farmers to learn from other farmers
  • 财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性: implementors can access loans from the local self help groups to expand the approaches. further implementors are parts of saving and loaning groups to allow them save and invest in the technology.
  • 机构设置: Homabay county generated a platform that allows actors to discuss matters relating to the value chain such as prices. further, the county link the actors to other initiatives funded by donors.
  • 参与者的的协作/协调: actor forums are in place and functional
  • 法律框架(土地使用权、土地和水使用权): local bylaws are used
  • 政策: activities are aligned to existing policies
  • 土地治理(决策、实施和执行): land tenure in the area is individual, household level discussion incorporates contributions from all the members.
  • 了解SLM,获得技术支持: the actors are empowered through training, further demonstration plots were established and knowledge products produced to support the actors. others ways of building actors capacity is through the stakeholder forum that has diverse expertise.
  • 市场(购买投入,销售产品)和价格: markets are available, actors are unable to meet the current demand
  • 工作量、人力资源可用性: beekeeping is not labor intensive
