Hello PAEPARD Group, We would like to invite you all to participate in an introductory training on the SHEP - Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion - approach. It will take place on *August 24th between 10:00 and 12:00 CET/Swiss/Paris time*. A flyer with more information is attached. The SHEP approach is an agricultural extension approach that includes pursuing farming as a business — especially promoting the sharing of market information among farmers and stakeholders of the market, thereby mitigating the information gap — and designing a series of activities with consideration for farmers’ motivation. This approach, first developed in Kenya, has by now been implemented in over twenty countries. Farmers who have received support through this approach are proud of and enjoy their farming. These farmers have experienced real improvements in their livelihoods. SHEP has now been developed as a New Extensionist Learning Kit (NELK) Module.
