Those pictured were trained on several themes such as Farming God's Way, bio-digester construction, compost making, gardening, and livestock.

The ECHO West Africa Impact Center seeks to extend their services to equip those working across the Region to more effectively engage women and men in the area of agriculture. Functioning primarily as a
technical support organization, the Impact Center Team joins with community development organizations and workers to enable small-scale farmers and gardeners to nurture their soil and animals,
increase their production, improve their nutrition, and enhance their livelihoods.

ECHO’s training focuses not only on agriculture, but on improving the living conditions of small-scale farmers, and we are interested in agriculture, health, food, environment, income, etc.  Our trainings are very practical and at the end of each session each participant is able to practice what they have learned and pass along their training to others.

 

Following the training campaign comes the period of follow-ups and evaluations. Our training teams traveled to almost all the localities where they gave training to follow up on the implementation of the techniques taught. So, for example, Bobo, Kouka, Solenzo, Bomboila, Koran, Dedougou, Djibo, Kayibo, Laye, Leo, Ourbono, Siby, Dakoro, Sanekui, Toma, and Tougan were followed and accompanied in the application of the various techniques taught By ECHO.

 

Trainings conducted in 2022

The ECHO West Africa Team directly equipped 3,392 women and men in 2021.  They have been systematically following up with the trainee groups/communities to encourage and support their implementation of the plants, practices, and methods/technologies that were shared.

Trainings are actively underway in 2022 and are being conducted with communities, partner organizations, and educational institutions.  For security reasons, scheduled trainings are not being listed.  However, the West Africa Impact Center Team will welcome your interest and inquiry.  Please contact e-mail them at:  WestAfrica@echocommunity.org

Menyoroti Anggota ECHOcommunity: Tn. Tuntun dan Thaung Si 2020-04-08

Kutipan dari laporan oleh Patrick Trail – ECHO Asia

Saat saya berjalan di ladang pertanian bersama Tn. Tuntun di pedesaan Myanmar, saya tidak bisa menahan senyum ketika dia dengan bangga menunjukkan kepada saya biochar yang sekarang dia buat dan gunakan dalam campuran pot untuk bibit pohon buahnya. Alih-alih membakar, ia sekarang mengubah bahan limbah organiknya dari pertanian menjadi sumber daya berharga yang dapat digunakan untuk menghasilkan lebih banyak tanaman, alih-alih kehilangan karbon ke atmosfer melalui asap.

 

Sekitar satu tahun yang lalu, Tn. Tuntun menghadiri Lokakarya Penghematan Benih di Pyin Oo Lwin dan belajar cara membuat biochar selama salah satu sesi latihan. Dia segera kembali ke rumah dan mencobanya sendiri, dan telah sangat sukses. Tn. Tuntun kini bahkan menjadi tuan rumah halaman Facebook di mana ia berbagi teknik pertaniannya dengan petani berbahasa Burma lainnya, menjelaskan praktik-praktik seperti biochar, di antaranya!

 

Thaung Si and TunTun

Thaung Si (kiri) dan Tuntun (kanan) memamerkan biji kacang pedang yang berasal dari Bank Benih ECHO Asia dan sekarang sedang berkembang untuk memasok bank benih di sana di Myanmar.

Banyak hal yang terjadi di sini berasal dari mitra utama kami di wilayah ini, Tn. Thaung Si. Sebagai teman lama dan mitra ECHO Asia, Thaung Si telah bergabung dengan kami dalam berbagai acara pelatihan pada banyak kesempatan dan kami juga telah belajar banyak darinya. Tiga tahun lalu ia mendirikan Bank Benih Masyarakat di Lisu Baptist Theological Seminary. Melalui bank benihnya, ia mengajarkan praktik pertanian dan berkebun kepada siswa, dan telah berdampak besar pada banyak kehidupan, menabur benih dari berbagai jenis. Di sinilah Tn. Tuntun dan hampir seratus petani dan peserta lokal lainnya menerima pelatihan tentang Biochar dan teknik lainnya tahun lalu, dan Thaung Si menindaklanjutinya secara teratur.

Komunitas ECHO memiliki banyak mitra yang berdedikasi seperti Thaunag Si di seluruh kawasan, dan di seluruh dunia. Mitra ini, ketika dilengkapi dengan baik, mampu memperlengkapi lebih banyak lagi!

Tentang West Africa

"West Africa is a highly diverse region in terms of agro-climatic conditions and agricultural production potential, as well as with respect to the distribution of vulnerable populations. In general, the northern regions of coastal countries and the landlocked Sahelian countries are relatively food insecure and impoverished. Additionally, rapid urbanization in the region is leading to increasing numbers of urban poor. The population in this region is expected to grow 100 percent between 2010 and 2050, compared to the global growth rate of 38 percent. Population growth combined with low increases in productivity could further tighten resources and increase food insecurity.

Chronic undernutrition and food availability are core challenges to food security in West Africa. Critical gender concerns related to food security include the inability of women to hold on to land and to make decisions regarding household expenditure and consumption, as well as women having less capital than men.

There is ample evidence that the agriculture sector—which accounts for 35 percent of West African gross domestic product and 15.3 percent of regional export earnings—and in particular food staples, is the best engine for generating sustained, rapid and pro-poor economic growth." - Feed The Future
