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.
