The training on Homestead Gardening for nutrition was very interesting. I really learned a lot and I want to thank CDSF for organizing the training. The training incorporated very useful and applicable Home Gardening types for fruit and vegetable production in small holder households. I had some knowledge about fruit production before the training, but I have now developed the skills and would do it differently than the way I used to do in the past.

Our participation in the Module 1 and Module 2 MFDP trainings helped us to understand why our trainings did not bring the desired results in the past. To try and solve the problem, the Bureau organized a three-day training for 53 (13 women) staff with technical support from CDSF Oromia Regional Office. We have now set as standard practice to see to it that all our trainings courses including those on artificial insemination, poultry, queen bee rearing, etc., that will be conducted as of 2011 EFY are up to the standard and follow adult learning principles. We are sure our trainings will start showing good results in the future. We are very grateful for all the support CDSF has provided us. We couldn’t have achieved this without the support of CDSF.

AGP2 Capacity Development Support Facility

The Capacity Development Support Facility (CDSF) is a 5-year initiative funded through a bilateral agreement between the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC). CDSF supports the second phase of the Government’s Agricultural Growth Program (AGP2). The AGP2 development objective is to increase agricultural productivity and commercialization of smallholder farmers. It also aims at contributing to dietary diversity and consumption, poverty reduction, and climate change adaptation. These development objectives are clearly in line with the second phase of the national Growth Transformation Plan.

Capacity to implement AGP2 and manage activities efficiently and effectively is of paramount importance to the Government of Ethiopia and its development partners. CDSF provides support to enhance implementation of AGP2 to improve the quality of capacity development interventions, and strengthen the institutional capacity of government ministries, directorates, regional agricultural bureaus, zonal and woreda offices, and implementing agencies. CDSF addresses capacity development gaps within AGP2 structures, systems and processes.
