The World Agroforestry Centre Training Programme was one of the principal activities, which was recognized as of high quality. The training database on group learning courses, participants and individual ICRAF trainees has been developed. A series of training materials has been published in various forms. Stakeholders in Agroforestry education have been mobilized to act together on improvement of agricultural and natural resources education and training.

The objectives are:

  • To develop conventional and interactive training materials that will be used to support agroforestry education and training activities.
  • To assist national and regional training and education institutions in the adaptation and production of agroforestry training materials.

The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) places strong emphasis on capacity building in individual training, teaching material development, and publication. However the group learning and workshop/seminar are also available according the availability of funds and demand. The individual training programme is aiming at capacity building of partner research institutions, farmer and universities to develop and conduct quality Agroforestry research. The ultimate goal of individual training programme is to enable them to develop a critical mass of scientific expertise to respond to Agroforestry research needs.

To achieve this goal, ICRAF SEA works with partners to develop collaborative programmes provide opportunities for their staff to excel in research and education in Agroforestry. Under this arrangement, highly competitive fellowships are made available for qualifying scientists to carry out Agroforestry research under the supervision of scientists at our collaborative research sites with on-going research topics. The programme operates through three major arrangements: degree fellowships (Master or Ph.D. degrees, or their equivalents), research fellowships (non-degree) and student attachments (undergraduates).
