Welcome to the FFS Roster of Experts
What is the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) Roster of Experts?
The roster has been set up to gather and update information at a global, regional and country level, to encompass expertise in the Farmer Field Schools approach. The roster includes different types of FFS experts: master trainers, project coordinators, project formulators and evaluators.
The roster includes information on thirty-three different technical areas of FFS expertise, which reflect the technical areas used to map resources uploaded on the Knowledge Repository.
The roster aims to cover all sub-regions: Near East and North Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, Eastern Africa, Southern Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South-East Asia, Pacific Islands, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
This Roster will provide you with the possibility to look for experts that speak a wide range of different languages (English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese, but also Swahili, Wolof, Greek, Vietnamese and many more).
The Roster is dynamic, as experts can add new languages and technical areas of FFS expertise that are not yet available.
Each person that registers in the roster makes a self-assessment of his or her own skills. It is possible to add (a) reference(s) as well. Therefore, each expert is responsible for truthfulness and accuracy of the profile information provided.
What can the Roster assist you with?
- Are you a regional coordinator who wants to know more about field school experts existing in your region?
- Are you a project coordinator/formulator looking for experts in a specific location or with a combination of FFS technical expertise?
