| Events / Establishing And Strengthening Farmer Organizations Course by IndepthResearch: 11:07am On Mar 20, 2018 |
Event: Establishing and strengthening farmer organizations Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 23rd - 27th April 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Farmers’ organization’s-FOs represent farmers’ own interests. They have emerged as a result of Farmers own, real expressed needs. They are effective channels of communication between the member-farmers. Without them, a situation of isolated voices would arise, that lack coordination and general power to affect the behavior of agricultural service providers. Farmer organizatio, for instance,need to be strengthened. FO’s for instance do not have access to diverse sources of income, in some instances, there are no core cultural or economic activities that bind their members, FO’s in certain instances do not have access to capacity-building support, they sometimes operate in unfriendly institutional environment (lack of supportive legislation, no formal recognition). They tend to be weak and are unable to influence powerful actors with the needs of their members. The Sustainable Livelihoods-SL approach to rural development recognizes the key importance of institutions and organizations to rural people for achieving positive livelihood outcomes In many prevailing situations worldwide, formation of groups and farmer organizations is done without training them properly in theory and practice on the basic principles of community organizations. Majority of the farmers do not have many skills and experience in the process of establishing these organizations. However, many government agencies have developed national policies for rural development and designed policy framework to help rural people become organized so that delivery of services could be channeled through the various types of farmer organizations or groups. Well-meaning policies provide blueprint structures for farmer organizations (FO) in the form of cooperatives and commodity organizations in order to provide various inputs, marketing, and educational services to the farmers. However, a number of issues surround the establishment and functioning of farmer organizations remain unaddressed DURATION 5 Days WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is intended for various actors in the Agriculture Extension (Agricultural extension officers, senior agricultural officials and policy makers) working with communities, in governments, funding agencies, Research organizations and non-government organizations among others for Agriculture support activities and other Development programmes. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of the course, learners will have: • Have gained practical knowledge on the various types of typical Farmer organizations • Understood the key steps in establishing farmer organizations • Be able to establish the roles of extension services in farmer organizations • Understood the key issues influencing participation in farmer organizations • Understood the various strategies/empowerment methods that can be applied to farmer organizations • Gain an understanding of the factors influencing farmer organizations’ effectiveness/success • Knowledge of the policy issues influencing establishment and strengthening of farmer organizations TOPICS TO BE COVERED • Key steps in establishing farmer organizations • Key steps in strengthen existing FOs • Roles of extension services in farmer organizations • Issues influencing participation in farmer organizations • Empowerment methods to farmer organizations • Fundraising for Farmer organizations • Factors influencing farmer organizations’ effectiveness/success • The dynamics of collaboration between research and farmers' organizations • Policy issues influencing establishment and strengthening of farmer organizations Visit our website for more details.

| Events / Irrigation And Operational Maintenance Course by IndepthResearch: 9:31am On Mar 20, 2018 |
Event: Irrigation and Operational Maintenance Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 16th - 20th April 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Irrigation can be used to produce outcomes in terms of crop production. Irrigation schemes may also have other outcomes. It is now playing a more important role in agriculture than ever before. However, depending on the climate, the value of the plants or animals, the value of the land and it's suitability for irrigation, the cost, reliability and quality of the water supply, irrigation may or may not be possible or feasible. Irrigation may enable plants (i.e. crops, pasture) to be grown in a dry climate where it would not otherwise be possible, or it may supplement the existing rainfall and improve growth rates by extending the growth period of the plant, or by ensuring there is adequate moisture during critical periods when the plant is growing most rapidly. The value of irrigation can vary greatly from year to year depending on the distribution of rainfall during the growing season. This training course, therefore, is intended to guide the participants in developing and maintaining sustainable irrigation systems. DURATION 5 Days LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of the training, the learner will be able to: • Understand the significance of soil in irrigation • Gain knowledge on how to determine when to irrigate in a small scale situation • Gain insight on how to manage an irrigation system in a given situation • Select an appropriate irrigation system for a given situation • Explain the principles of design for a simple irrigation system • Design a simple irrigation system • Gain skills in monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of an irrigation system TOPICS TO BE COVERED • Introduction to Irrigation systems • Irrigation Essentials • Irrigation System Design • Irrigation Development • Irrigation Management Visit our website for more details.

| Events / Gender Approaches To Agricultural Extension Practices Course by IndepthResearch: 9:09am On Mar 20, 2018 |
Event: Gender Approaches to Agricultural Extension Practices Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 16th - 20th April 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Gender sensitivity in agricultural practices and extension is an important area that affects people of all walks of life. It entails gender equity, gender roles and further implies that roles should not be ascribed for instance to the females alone, or the males exclusively as this will amount to set back to the progress of agriculture. Gender equality refers to equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities for women and men, girls and boys. It is the absence of discrimination on the basis of a person’s sex in opportunities, in the allocation of resources and benefits, or in access to services such as agricultural advice. It implies that the interests, needs, and priorities of both women and men are taken into consideration, recognizing the diversity among different groups of women and men. This training highlights such gender-related issues and presents strategies for meeting them. We explore various ways of delivery of agricultural extension services in a way that improves gender-equitable service provision. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is intended for various actors in the Agriculture Extension (Agricultural extension officers, senior agricultural officials and policymakers) working with communities, in governments, funding agencies, Research organizations and non-government organizations among others for Agriculture support activities and other Development programmes. DURATION 5 Days LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of the course, learners will be able to: • Develop programmes, centered on women's needs and constraints, in accomplishing their tasks • Raising awareness of gender issues as an integral part of a pragmatic research, extension and development work in agriculture, • Analysis of Roles women play in agricultural development • Women play a vital role as agricultural producers and as agents of food and nutritional security. • Access to productive assets such as land and services, finance and extension. • Constraints impinging upon the ability of women to participate in the collective action as members of agricultural cooperative or water user associations. • Issues of women tend to lack a political voice. • Results and outcomes of Gender inequalities i.e. less food being grown, less income being earned, and higher levels of poverty and food insecurity. • Agriculture in low-income developing countries is a sector with exceptionally high impact in terms of its potential to reduce poverty. Yet for agricultural growth to fulfil this potential, gender disparities must be addressed and effectively reduced. TOPICS TO BE COVERED • Gender and Food Security • Gender and Agricultural Livelihoods • Gender and Rural Finance • Gender and Agricultural Markets • Gender Mainstreaming in Agricultural Water Management • Gender in Agricultural Innovation and Education • Gender Issues in Agricultural Labor • Gender in Rural Infrastructure for Agricultural Livelihoods • Gender and Forestry/Natural Resources Management • Gender in Agriculture, livestock production • Gender Issues in Monitoring and Evaluation Visit our website for more details.

Event: Food Security Analysis Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 16th - 20th April 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Before intervening in a country, the first priority for development actors is to understand the food security situation of the population. Food security analysts do a wide range of assessments in order to identify hungry and food insecure populations and to establish the underlying causes. They include Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analyses-CFSVAs, Emergency assessments and market analyses-EFSA. To collect, manage and analyze data, they use advanced technologies such as satellite imagery, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and mobile data collection platforms such as smartphones, tablets and Personal Digital Assistants. Some actors, for instance, WFP, are working with partners to establish Food Security Monitoring Systems (FSMS) for continuous monitoring of food security conditions and market prices. This five days training will expose the participants to several concepts in carrying out food security analysis. DURATION 5 days WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is intended for various actors National governments, UN partners and NGOs whose work informs the policies and programmes that WFP and its partners adopt in order to fight hunger in different circumstances.

Event: Agro Entrepreneurship & Market Facilitation Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 16th - 20th April 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Markets are important for rural transformation and poverty alleviation. They provide the direct means through which the poor participate in an economic activity as producers (farmers, business groups); as employees (providers of labor); and as consumers (of goods and services). Working with smallholder farmers to design and set up new income-generating enterprise opportunities, on the other hand, is complex. It requires taking time and dedication to ensure success. This training programme aims at building the agro-enterprise capacity of rural development practitioners to enable them to facilitate the market integration of the most vulnerable beneficiaries. The participants will be guided through participatory processes for identifying market opportunities and developing viable agro-enterprises that are sustainable and which are geared towards improving the incomes of rural farmers, processors, and traders. DURATION 5 days WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is intended for various actors in the Agriculture Extension (Agricultural extension officers, senior agricultural officials and policy makers) working with communities, in governments, funding agencies, Research organizations and non-government organizations among others for Agriculture support activities and other Development programmes. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of the course, participants will: • Help farmers engage with markets. • Apply skills in participatory methods for farmers in Market analysis and decision making. • Guide in market identification and selection of attractive enterprise options, based on information gathered from the market and market chain. • Build agro-enterprise skills within the community so that groups can continue to effectively engage with the marketplace in the future. • Able to identify what the spirit of entrepreneurship is, who has it, how to identify it and how to harness this spirit to promote sound business development. • Understand the tools for business planning. • Able to identify tools for working with a community.

RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Standard courses on statistical analysis assume that survey data arise from a simple random sample of the target population. Little attention is given to characteristics often associated with survey data, including missing data, unequal probabilities of selection, stratified multistage sample designs, and measurement errors. Most standard statistical procedures in software packages commonly used for data analysis (e.g. SAS, SPSS, and Stata) do not allow the analyst to take these properties of survey data into account unless specialized survey procedures are used. Failure to do so can have an important impact on the results of all types of analyses, ranging from simple descriptive statistics to estimates of parameters of multivariate models. This course provides an introduction to specialized software procedures that have been developed for the analysis of complex sample survey data including testing for between-group differences in means and proportions, regression analysis, logistic regression and multilevel modeling. We will also consider the consequences of non-response and missing data on survey analysis and methods for dealing with missing data. Specialized procedures for survey data analysis from the Stata systems for data management and analysis will be used to develop course examples and exercises DURATION 10 days WHO SHOULD ATTEND? The course does not require rigorous training in mathematics; however, proficiency in basic mathematics, including algebra and functions, is essential. Survey sampling methods and a basic understanding of sampling concepts such as stratification, cluster sampling and weighting is required. Participants should also have familiarity with basic statistical concepts, including point estimates, sampling variance, confidence intervals, p-values, the maximum likelihood method of estimation and simple linear and logistic regression models.

| Events / Gender Approaches To Agricultural Extension Practices Course by IndepthResearch: 12:56pm On Mar 12, 2018 |
Event: Gender Approaches to Agricultural Extension Practices Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 9th - 13th April 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Gender sensitivity in agricultural practices and extension is an important area that affects people of all walks of life. It entails gender equity, gender roles and further implies that roles should not be ascribed for instance to the females alone, or the males exclusively as this will amount to set back to the progress of agriculture. Gender equality refers to equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities for women and men, girls and boys. It is the absence of discrimination on the basis of a person’s sex in opportunities, in the allocation of resources and benefits, or in access to services such as agricultural advice. It implies that the interests, needs, and priorities of both women and men are taken into consideration, recognizing the diversity among different groups of women and men. This training highlights such gender-related issues and presents strategies for meeting them. We explore various ways of delivery of agricultural extension services in a way that improves gender-equitable service provision. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is intended for various actors in the Agriculture Extension (Agricultural extension officers, senior agricultural officials and policymakers) working with communities, in governments, funding agencies, Research organizations and non-government organizations among others for Agriculture support activities and other Development programmes. DURATION 5 Days LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of the course, learners will be able to: • Develop programmes, centered on women's needs and constraints, in accomplishing their tasks • Raising awareness of gender issues as an integral part of a pragmatic research, extension and development work in agriculture, • Analysis of Roles women play in agricultural development • Women play a vital role as agricultural producers and as agents of food and nutritional security. • Access to productive assets such as land and services, finance and extension. • Constraints impinging upon the ability of women to participate in the collective action as members of agricultural cooperative or water user associations. • Issues of women tend to lack a political voice. • Results and outcomes of Gender inequalities i.e. less food being grown, less income being earned, and higher levels of poverty and food insecurity. • Agriculture in low-income developing countries is a sector with exceptionally high impact in terms of its potential to reduce poverty. Yet for agricultural growth to fulfil this potential, gender disparities must be addressed and effectively reduced. TOPICS TO BE COVERED • Gender and Food Security • Gender and Agricultural Livelihoods • Gender and Rural Finance • Gender and Agricultural Markets • Gender Mainstreaming in Agricultural Water Management • Gender in Agricultural Innovation and Education • Gender Issues in Agricultural Labor • Gender in Rural Infrastructure for Agricultural Livelihoods • Gender and Forestry/Natural Resources Management • Gender in Agriculture, livestock production • Gender Issues in Monitoring and Evaluation Visit our website for more details.

Field workers can collect data "offline" and upload data to the OpenHDS server when they have mobile connectivity. Health program administrators and policy makers can thus have real time access to health and demographic information in the community. The web-enabled, tablet-based OpenHDS application allows users to efficiently select previously registered individuals and launch various OpenDataKit (ODK) forms to collect additional demographic, morbidity, and service delivery information. The mobile application facilitates the collection, through household interviews, of many health events that occur in the community (or outside the formal health system). Even with a relatively small target population, accurate and statistically significant health and demographic rates can be computed when health events are combined with ongoing population demographic information. In addition to computing demographic data, health administrators and researchers are able to assess health system utilization and the burden of disease for a given population over time. DURATION 5 Days WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is geared towards clinical researchers, investigators, research nurses, study coordinators and all other study staff health records officers. COURSE OBJECTIVES The training aims at building the capacity of researchers, health record managers and practitioners to monitor, manage and maintain demographic data and health information.

| Events / Mapping Nutrition Preparedness In Emergency Course by IndepthResearch: 12:58pm On Mar 07, 2018 |
Event: Mapping Nutrition Preparedness in Emergency Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya Event Date: 2th – 6th March 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Nutrition in emergencies has two broad objectives: preventing deaths and protecting peoples’ right to nutrition. When disaster strikes, people who are already malnourished before the emergency are more vulnerable to illness and death. The communities affected by the emergency are also at risk of malnutrition because of lack of food or only access to inadequate food and water, poor sanitation and lack of access to health services. This training will prepare the participants in nutrition emergencies with the theme to: Prepare for emergencies to prevent hunger and malnutrition. This course covers basic concepts of GIS under nutrition and response in emergencies, individual assessment and micronutrients. The course aims to inform the public about the importance of preparedness during emergencies, how to respond and what recovery measures can be taken to prevent death and the worsening of malnutrition of affected populations. This training will also strengthen the technical knowledge of individuals working in or aspiring to work in emergency nutrition. DURATION 5 Days WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This course is designed for people working or aspiring to work in emergency nutrition, project coordinators in nutrition implementing agency or academic institution. COURSE OBJECTIVES By the end of this course the participants shall be able to: •Understand what GIS is and its application to communicate nutrition emergency and response •Understand basic concepts of nutrition; define types of nutrients; and understand types and forms of under nutrition. •Explain what anthropometry is; explain under nutrition and how it is assessed; understand how to measure weight, height and MUAC in young children; •Indicate minimum international standards for micronutrients in emergencies; and recognize the types and causes of micronutrient deficiency diseases in developing countries and emergency situations. •Understand the importance of safe and appropriate feeding in saving infants and young children lives, be aware of the dangers of artificial feeding, and of the risks of not breastfeeding in an emergency, •Know what IFE is.
