PREFACE

The provision of food in sustainable quantity and quality is the ultimate goal of every Policy Maker and of late a major focus for Scholars of Development Studies, Sustainable Agriculture, Natural Sciences and Rural Development. Despite this level of awareness by governments and efforts by scholars and scientists, there is an increasing deficit especially in developing countries, between agricultural produce demanded and what can be produced and sustained using the current farming systems. This observation among others has hastened the need for better and new techniques of farming and most importantly the need to improve the current systems through scientific research and Development.

However, this research alone cannot improve agriculture production unless there are sufficient trained personnel to disseminate these new and better techniques and ensure that farmers apply them. Quite often inadequacy in dissemination of this information has been the cause of disappointment among all stakeholders in agriculture including, scientists, politicians, planners and farmers.

This training therefore is intended to equip trainees with skills in dissemination of new and better techniques of farming to their communities. It must be noted however, that the scope of the training is limited to provision of only basic knowledge and skills on the subject. The curriculum is especially designed to suit the requirement of training for trainees at Certificate Level.

The principle of this training is to teach trainees so that they can go and teach others. The courses offered are Agriculture Extension and Rural Development, Agronomy, Agroforestry, Horticulture, Animal Production, Human Nutrition and Farm management. They are covered at length both in theory and practical, giving more emphasis to the latter. Unlike for past years where Organic Farming has been handled separately, this year the subject was covered under Horticulture and Agroforestry.

The teaching methods used in this training included Class-room tutorials and discussions; Field demonstration and visits; as well as songs and drama. The concept of comparative learning; working in groups, discussing group results and reporting groups’ findings was central to all practical lessons.

1.0 BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION1.1 BackgroundThe need for capacity building at the grass root arrived upon through consultation between IAS, community Opinion Leaders and Authorities in 2002 paved the origin of ACIEK Agriculture Training Center. The consolidation of peace in Southern Sudan after signing of the CPA in 2005, the need by IAS and other humanitarian partners to create self supporting communities and the realization of the urgent need for post war reconstruction and development by GOSS are some of the key factors that form the backbone of the Training Center.

1.2 Purpose of the courseThe course has a broader mandate but simply put; the main purpose of the training is to 1) Train agriculture extension workers who will transform the community through training others 2) equip the community with trained agriculture workers who will assist them identify opportunities available for sustainable agriculture. All these geared towards making a contribution to sustainable food security in the area and creating self-reliance among communities.

1.3 Selection Criteria and AdmissionIntake for this year in Aciek Agriculture training centre was done in collaboration with State Ministry of Agriculture, Aweil State and two NGOs active within Bahr El-Gazal region SC-UK and CONCERN. The state and the NGOs were requested to interview and send their candidates to the centre by 1st June 2007. The initial target for this year was 40 trainees but only a total number of 37 trainees were received. The trainees were selected from the different Counties of Aweil State (table 1.1).

Table 1.1: Number of trainees and their Seconding Counties or Organizations

To further ascertain the illegibility of the trainee, the center offered a second interview after the one conducted by the local authorities in various counties and the partner NGOs. Intake closed in the 2nd week of June with 37 trainees.

3.0 COURSE ACTIVITIESThe trainees for this year started to arrive at Aciek Agriculture Training Centre on the 31 st

May 2007. All activities of the training started on the 1st June 2007.

Practical training took most time in the month of June. The trainees were particularly introduced to the preliminary activities of land preparation, nursery bed establishment for horticultural crops and Agro forestry trees as well as cropland protection against the danger posed by roaming animal. First digging of seed beds for agronomy crops was also carried out at the same time

Figure 3.1(a) Primary cultivation Figure 3.1(b) Preparation of beds

3.1 Demonstration plots and Practical LessonsThe trainees established demonstration plots for appropriate Horticulture, Agronomy and agroforestry practices. This started by nursery bed establishment for vegetable crops. Each trainee was allocated a plot for horticulture and Agronomy to manage and worked in groups for Agroforestry, Extension, Nutrition and Animal Production. By the end of the month, some vegetable for direct planting had been sown. Field crops planted included; Groundnuts, Maize, Green-Grams and Cowpeas. The detail of the practical in each subject was carried out as summarized below:-

3.1.1 Horticulture

Okra, carrots and cowpeas were seeded directly in the field in the first week of June. Nurseries were prepared and planted in the first week of June. Crops in the nursery included Cabbages, Kales, Egg plants, Tomatoes and Onion.

Pests especially Millipede infested the seedlings in the nursery, to the extent that reseeding was necessary. Re-establishment of nursery was done in the 3rd week of June. A combination of chemical methods and cultural methods were used to control millipede infestation. Trainees were able to establish horticulture demonstration plots 4 weeks later; during the 3rd week of July.

Amarantus (Amarathus hybridus) and Cucumber (gherkin) were introduced into the demonstration plots later and at the same time, the late crop of cabbage was seeded directly. The species and times of planting are as summarized in the table 3.1.

3.1.2 Agronomy

Different crops were planted in demonstration plots in the third week of June. Each trainee was required individually to plant and manage Maize, Sorghum, Beans and Cowpeas. In the 4th Week of July, Groundnut was introduced into the plots. For the early crop, first weeding was done in the first week of July and the last was in the second week of August. The East African variety of bean K132 showed poor results in early stages and was replaced with Groundnuts. The variety was then introduced in a trial plot to investigate the cause. Green-gram was given to trainees in the 3 rd week of July for group management and comparative learning.

3.1.3 Agro-forestry

Trainees prepared taxonomy albums detailing tree species in their homesteads and their importences. Tree nurseries were established. Agro-forestry trees seeded included Moringa orifiera, Calliadra calothyrsus, Acacia sp and thou (Dinka). Attempts were made to seed Mango (Mangifera indica), Teak (Tectona Grandis) and Neem (Azandirachta indica) trees from local mother seed trees an attempt that yielded limited results. All tree seeds were planted in seedbed and then pricked out into pots. Moringa orifiera was included in leguminous field to demonstrate Alley farming. Further a trial plot of boundary planting (hedges) was established with the local thorny tree Thou (Dinka) an undertaking that proposes to take advantage of the tree species ability to tolerate excess heat conditions, its thorny characteristics and its abundance.

On multipurpose trees, Neem tree was picked to demonstrate the multiple benefits to man, his crops and his animals. Preparation of an organic pesticide from Neem tree leaves was demonstrated.

In the fourth week of July, trainees visited Akuem rice project to learn: Selection of suitable farm site Farm layout and design

3.1.5 Agriculture extension and Rural Development

The practical carried out focused on assessing trainees’ abilities in assessing farmers’ challenges, advising farmers, introducing and communicating new techniques to farmers and recording and reporting. Practical training involved farm visits (outreach) to selected farmers, open day (field day) and use of drama and story telling to communicate agricultural methods. This was further reign forced by group discussions and Presentations.

Farm Visits (Outreach)In the first week of August, each working groups of trainees were introduced to four farmers. The trainees were supposed to initiate a group contact, after the initial contact, assess the farmers’ challenges, advise, encourage and assist with farm inputs especially planting materials (seedlings). Outreach program closed in the third week of August. Tomato and cabbage seedlings as well as Moringa and Calliandra seedlings were given out to all the twenty farmers.

Open day (field day)At the peak of outreach, framers were invited for an exchange visit to the trainees’ demonstration plots. Trainees designed messages in the local language advertising the open day and inviting the public to attend. On the 1st September a field day was organized. Trainees explained the different practices of farming as used in their demonstration plots, their advantages and appropriateness. Community leaders and many more farmers from neighbouring communities attended the open day. At the end of the occasion, more agro-forestry tree seedlings were distributed to the 20 farmers. Vegetable seedlings especially tomatoes and cabbages were also given out to farmers during the field day.

Page 15: Final Agriculture Training Report 2007

A group of trainees composed a song dramatizing advocacy for promotion of agriculture. The song was presented to class discussion forum for criticism. The drama drew a lot of criticism and consequently the class came up with a better version of the presentation.

3.1.6 Human Nutrition

No much has been done in terms of nutrition practical, because of the limitation on the facilities needed for the practical. Detailed practical lessons ware also not included in the curriculum. The only practical done was about food preparation. The main aim of this practical was to prepare food in the manner that would preserve the nutritive value of the food. In the future material necessary for practical of nutrition should be availed to enable more practical lessons to be conducted.

3.1.7 Animal Production

The only practical done in this subject is the digestive system of animal. This, however, is not the only practical needed for the subject. Facilities like drenching gun, castration kit, Livestock diseases and pest control drugs were needed for the practical. It was observed that Animal production needs more attention at curriculum level.

3.2 Theoretical SubjectsThese began in the third week of June and ended smoothly on the 27 th /8/2007.Trainees were then given one week to prepare for their exams. Theories were administered according to the curriculum (Annex III).

5.0 CONCLUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION

ConstraintsConstraints to the training ranged from direct constraints; related to infrastructure, Climatic and Biophysical challenges and indirect constraints; related to Policy, Institutional support & Research etc.

However the following constraints caused day to day challenges during the training period and warrant specific mention in this report.

The average rainfall during the three month of the training was 12-17.5mm. This amount of rain was not enough to sustain good crop growth; as a result trainees had to water their plot twice a day during the time it did not rain.

Birds (crow) and livestock from the surrounding communities were the major problem at sowing, germination and vegetative stages.

Pests especially millipede posed a major challenge to the young plants in nursery and garden.

Some practical lessons were not carried out due to lack of the necessary equipment and materials

Limited reference materials The education background of some trainees was weak; this in some instances

strained the learning process.

RecommendationsBasing on tutors’ experiences, observations during the training and discussions held at various levels about the past, the present and the future of AATC, the following recommendations are proposed:

There is need to review the general curriculum of the training centre to suit the purpose for which it is meant. It is observed necessary to avoid overlapping topics in Agronomy, Horticulture and Agroforestry.

It is further observed necessary to give special consideration to Animal production in terms of contact hours and practical since the Dinka community are cattle keepers.

There is need to equip the Library with relevant reading and reference materials for both trainees and tutors should be made available.

There is need to put in place a standard selection/intake criteria; school report card should be one of the qualifying certificates for entrance. More emphasis

should be made for the sponsors to give more chances to ladies in their selection There is a need to establish a herbarium at the college premises with the trees of

Agroforestry importance e.g Leuceana, Casuarina, Calliandra sp, Sesbania; trees which are nitrogen fixers, provide fodder to animals and give good foliage for mulching and compost.

There is need for research in the possibility of using local trees in Agroforestry systems in the area since such trees re well adapted for the area and their uses are clearly known to the would be beneficiaries/local communities.
