This manual provides a comprehensive structure, step-by-step facilitation guidelines and learning content (including learning materials) for a theoretical, classroom setting workshop on FMNR with potential FMNR adopters such as farmers, pastoralists and other land users. The learning methods and contents outlined in this manual have been developed from actual FMNR trainings and tested across different agro-ecological, livelihoods and cultural contexts.1 When conducting the workshop, it is recommended to combine it with a practical on-farm demonstration of core FMNR techniques (see Module 3.2).
Who is this manual for?
This manual is primarily intended for technical stakeholders who plan to conduct a training on FMNR targeting potential FMNR users such as farmers, pastoralists and other land users. This includes but is not limited to, technical staff from government authorities, public development agencies, UN agencies, local and international non-governmental organisations, community-based organisations, research for development institutes (e.g. CGIAR, Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research) and other potential implementers. In general, the manual does not assume any prior knowledge of FMNR and is therefore suitable for both experienced professionals and those planning an FMNR training for the first time. In addition, the manual can also be used as a self-learning tool on FMNR.
