Eastern Africa Network
A number of regional sharing events have been held over the last years and networking and sharing across actors informally is taking place. In 2016 a support project for institutionalization and formalisation of regional networking is commencing under funding by SDC. This project - Institutionalization of Field Schools in Eastern Africa - is being coordinated by the FAO Resilience Team in Nairobi in collaboration with FAO sub-regional office for Eastern Africa. A workshop on Institutionalization of FFS approach was held in Nairobi in April 2016.
