We produced and distributed two important learning tools to each participant: our LifeStock manual called A Field Manual of Animal Diseases by Syndromes in French, along with a French translation we made of a Facilitators’ Guide for conducting downstream courses.
All of our Field Manuals are published on polymer paper for longevity. The professionals practiced adult learning techniques, and discussed effective methods for disseminating information in a low-literacy setting. At the end of each workshop, participants created plans for downstream training across Niger and Burkina Faso.
This project was funded by the US Agency for International Development through the Livestock Systems Innovation Laboratory located at the University of Florida.
