One year ago, a team of researchers from the University of Reading, in UK, and local partners in Tanzania, organised a number of participatory trainings for smallscale farmers on climate-services and information. The trainings were held in villages outside of Dodoma, Tanzania, which is a very arid and dry part of the country. The team recently re-visited two of the farmer groups, to see what they had learned during the 4-day training session, what they felt was useful and if anything happened after the trainings, eg. did they change crops or planting practices?
The trainings introduced the concept of climate change, rainfall variability, and presented the country’s historical rainfall data and forecasts. The trainings also showed farmers how to, based on crop, temperature and rainfall information, calculate risks and probabilities of crops failure, while identifying which crops could work well in their area. The trainings provided a list of suitable crops, but it was the farmers who in the end decided if and how they wanted to implement what they had learned, or not. This to ensure ownership and making sure any choice made is grounded in farmers’ own realities.
These photos are from the revisit session, held in October of this year in Makoja, Tanzania. Stay tuned on CCAFS blog to see if the farmers had made any changes to their farming practices or not. This participatory project is supported by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS): www.ccafs.cgiar.org/blog

Communications board on a wall in the Observatory's office showing key dates for events, research publications, press releases, network and data group meetings, website updates and so on.
This board was created to contribute to a larger need identified in the Observatory's Investors in Excellence Improvement Plan (December 2009):
"Improve understanding of each others' others' work, share knowledge / best practice and make sure we are consistent and aren't duplicating each work."
The Ambassador of Mozambique to Ethiopia, Manuel Tomas Lubisse, met with senior staff of the IPMS team to discuss possibilities for sharing ILRI/IPMS knowledge and training materials for dairy development. It was agreed that ILRI will send relevant materials to the Embassy and also inform ILRI’s regional coordinator in Mozambique about this initiative.

See the "CABIG: a network for knowledge sharing (extended version)" video
CABIG is the Commercialization and Agri-Business Interest Group at the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The group is an informal network of technical officers from different departments in the Regional Office. It encourages knowledge and experience sharing, facilitates information collection on current activities and lessons learned, and seeks to identify overlapping technical interests in the field of agribusiness and opportunities for collaboration on project development. In this video, the members of this community of practice reflect on their participation in CABIG: What has it brought to their work? What are the elements that make CABIG a successful knowledge sharing network? How could it become more effective? [Note: This is the extended version (19 minutes) of the video of the same title. This extended version includes more of the originally filmed comments of the CABIG members. The shorter version
is 7 minutes in length.]This video was originally shared on blip.tv by mongkolroek with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 license.
