INTRODUCTION
The training will help project managers apply GIS to monitor and evaluate the activities of specific projects in an effort to document positive outcomes, increase sustainability and develop effective solutions to problems discovered. Through this training, we will examine some ways we can use maps to define, measure and display project outcomes. By using the GIS to link data from multiple programs the training will make it possible to understand the individual programs better but also better understand the relationship between the programs. Spatial analysis techniques will also help with deriving outcomes measures. To achieve set objectives, the training will also explore the technical topic of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) methods that are used worldwide in many development projects and the application of technical tools of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for project monitoring and management.

INTRODUCTION
Excel has powerful tools that enable busy users to set up systems that simplify data analysis and interpretation. Effectively using Excel allows users to devote their time more profitably to making decisions about and acting on results, with more effective outcomes. This course gives practical experience in the use of Microsoft Excel for data summary, presentation and for other basic statistical work. It concentrates on areas where Excel really can excel, such as array functions. We look at data entry and management, pivot tables, and graphics. We also review Excel's facilities for statistical analysis, advising on their use and limitations, and we show how add-ins can be used to enhance Excel's capabilities. Participants will learn through a series of practical simulations which ensures that they maximize their learning and can use the tools immediately when they return to the office. In addition to the practical component, all participants will also receive a manual describing all the techniques learned.

INTRODUCTION
Data collection and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) have always been integral parts of development work. In the past, these tasks were performed with paper and pen, which made them prone to error, difficult to conduct on a large scale, and high in transaction costs.

INTRODUCTION
Though women are increasingly responsible for farm work, agricultural extension and information on new technologies are almost exclusively directed to men. Women and men are engaged in farming but in most cases women roles remain unrecognized. Failure to address gender based differences brings about disparities in development outcomes in general and in agricultural extension in particular. It is therefore necessary to take into consideration the interests, needs, and priorities of both women and men in delivery of agricultural extension services in order to bring desirable development in agriculture in terms of improved agricultural productivity, income and improving the farmers’ welfare. This 5 days course aim to equip participants with knowledge on gender related issues, strategies for meeting them and various ways of delivery of agricultural extension services in a way that improves gender-equitable service provision.

INTRODUCTION
Lack of knowledge, skills and appropriate capital are among the challenges that are faced by Small scale farmers in the rural areas in Africa. These rural farmers therefore lack the capacity to make their farming business as efficient as possible and hence suffer economically. Organizations and institutions including microfinance have come to solve farmers’ problems but still farmers experience the challenges because they have no voice in these organizations as well as in the interventions that are designed to solve their problems. To access finances, most microfinance institutions use farm records as collateral and individual farmers in a stable farmer group as granters. This 5 days course sought to empower participants with knowledge on process of accessing rural finance.

INTRODUCTION
Although agriculture is the main source of livelihood to the majority of smallholder farmers, post- harvest losses has been among the major contributor to food scarcity due to low value addition and inadequate cold chain facilities particularly for horticultural produce such as fruits and vegetable. The different fruits and vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, ginger, green leafy vegetables among others are important protective foods because of their nutritional value.

INTRODUCTION
In Africa, close to 70% of the population rely on agriculture as a source of their livelihoods. The sector contributes up to 23% to the GDP in most of the African countries and hence remains critical to local and regional economies. It is the basis for food security and an important source of employment, particularly for women who provide much of labor. Despite the women contribution to the sector, their participation is limited by factors including inequitable access to agricultural inputs, including family labour, high-yield crops, pesticides, and fertilizer, legal and cultural status, exclusion from alternative employment options and inheritance laws. In the spirit of achieving the aspiration of vision 2030 of leaving no one behind and particularly women, there is need to understand through gender analysis the extent to which women are included in the agricultural sector. Gender analysis provides information to integrate a gender perspective into policies, programmes and projects. To add on, conducting a gender analysis allows for the development of interventions that address gender inequalities and meet the different needs of women and men. This 5 days course will equip participants with knowledge about specific set of frameworks and methods for participants to use in order to integrate gender components into their agricultural projects and programs. Participants will also gain gender analysis skills through effective and systematic analysis of contexts and also be able to plan development from a gender equality perspective.

DURATION
5 days

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

INTRODUCTION
Pastoral livestock production is practiced in an estimated area of 43% percent of Africa land mass in different regions of Africa by an estimate of 268 million pastoralists. Pastoralism plays an important role in the national and regional economies of Africa in terms of export of animals to both domestic and international markets. Furthermore, pastoralism contributes a percentage of 10 to 44 of the gross domestic product (GDP) of African countries. Despite the significant impact of pastoralism to livelihoods, economy of Africa’s drylands, GDP and exports sector, pastoralists are faced with various challenges including climate change and climate variability, increasing risk of animal and zoonotic diseases, insecure land rights and natural resource management, violence, displacement and militarisation of pastoral livelihood systems and neglect and exclusion of pastoralist communities among other challenges. One of the key intervention to ensure sustainable livelihoods of pastoralist is focus on building resilience to mitigate effects of climate change. Resilience is being understood in terms of building different types of capacity within communities and social-ecological systems.
