Asia Farmer-to-Farmer (F2F) Program With core country programs in Bangladesh, Burma, and Nepal, Winrock International’s five-year Asia F2F program goal is to generate rapid, sustainable, and broad-based food security and economic growth in the agricultural sector.

I. Summary of Experience with Program Implementation

During the reporting period (October 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017), Asia F2F completed 41 volunteer trips, directly assisting 2,904 participants (45% female) in Bangladesh, Burma, and Nepal. Of the 41 fielded volunteers, 14 were new to the program and 37% were women volunteers. Asia F2F actively collaborated with USG initiatives to promote synergies between programs. In Bangladesh, volunteers supported the Feed the Future Bangladesh Women’s Empowerment Activity and Feed the Future Bangladesh Livestock Production for Improved Nutrition Project. In Burma, F2F continued to coordinate with the Value Chains for Rural Development Associate Award. In Nepal, three Peace Corps volunteers attended two volunteer trainings focusing on improved goat management. They plan to disseminate this information in their communities. One of the Peace Corps volunteers noted, “Having attended the training, I am excited to strengthen my connection with the Livestock Service Sub-Center at my site, and begin discussions with the District Livestock Office in Kushma about initiating a similar program for my village.” In December 2016, Dr. Shamsul Kabir, Asia F2F Regional Director and Country Director for Bangladesh, attended the F2F Implementing Partners Meeting in Washington, D.C. He participated in a panel discussion with other Country Directors highlighting challenges and opportunities in volunteer management and host relationship building. He also attended the VEGA volunteers’ reception, F2F M&E Committee meeting, and F2F Youth Entrepreneurship strategy meeting with Winrock home office staff. Dr. Kabir also conducted recruitment visits to the University of Maryland, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and Oklahoma State University, where he met 22 faculty and staff interested in volunteering or creating partnerships with F2F. Asia F2F recruiters have followed up with these potential volunteers. Both the Bangladesh and Nepal F2F teams coordinated upcoming evaluation processes. Bangladesh F2F put together lists of potential in-country hosts for the visit (in May 2017) of Mr. Eric Johnson, member of the program-wide F2F external evaluation team. The Nepal F2F team coordinated with the Nepal government’s Social Welfare Council on its evaluation (also to take place in May), as required by Nepal F2F’s project registration.

II. Summary of Implementation Experience, Major Impacts, and Accomplishments for Each Country F2F Project

A. BANGLADESH From October 2016 through March 2017, Bangladesh F2F volunteers completed 11 volunteer trips and worked with 20 host organizations.

AGRICULTURE EDUCATION AND TRAINING (AET) During the reporting period, Bangladesh F2F completed three AET assignments. Volunteers worked with four hosts – including two USAID-funded Feed the Future projects and two universities, directly assisting more than 135 people, including university faculty, government extension officers, private sector technical staff, and NGO field staff. The AET assignments supported hosts with a wide reach to support dissemination of F2F information through extended networks.

FY2017 Semi-Annual Report | March 2017 Page 2

Formal AET volunteers strengthened the capacity of university professors to use advanced software for statistical analysis in agriculture. Informal AET volunteers helped to increase livestock nutrition and behavior change and communication skills of professionals. Specific assignments included the following:

Capacity building for 53 government livestock officers to transfer updated knowledge on cattle nutrition management in support of the Feed the Future Bangladesh Livestock Production for Improved Nutrition Project.

Training-of-trainers on behavior change communication for gender equality in the agricultural sector for 26 staff of five NGOs, in support of the Feed the Future Bangladesh Women’s Empowerment Activity.

Training for 50 faculty of two Bangladeshi public universities on advanced statistical analysis in the agricultural sector using R and InVivoStat statistical software packages.

Major accomplishments The Feed the Future Bangladesh Livestock Production for Improved Nutrition Project has used the

information from four F2F volunteer assignments to develop three training modules: (1) animal health care management, (2) animal nutrition management, and (3) fodder and forage management. Trained technical staff have taught 4,000 cattle farmers in the Jessore, Khulna and Satkhira districts using these modules. The project also established 42 improved fodder demonstration plots on two hectares of land, four cattle feeding stations, and two improved cowsheds for demonstration purposes. One of the project’s field coordinators, Jnanttor Chakma, stated that they did not previously have a detailed syllabus on cattle nutrition, and that the F2F training-of-trainers increased their professional competency to better serve cattle farmers in their community.

F2F training on behavior change communication for gender equality in the agricultural sector, though a new concept in Bangladesh, inspired and provided confidence to the host, Feed the Future Bangladesh Women's Empowerment Activity, to develop and disseminate messaging more effectively. After the training, the host developed 15 slogans aligned with five women’s empowerment domains. Within just three months, the host shared the messages with 10,000 women through community cluster and courtyard meetings.

After participating in F2F training on advanced agricultural statistical analysis using the R program, Khulna University and Sylhet Agricultural University faculty self-selected the most advanced participants (those who showed high performance in learning the software application) to help other trainees with future application support, thereby creating a new mentorship/training-of-trainers structure.

YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP Bangladesh F2F completed a larger number of AET assignments than Youth Entrepreneurship assignments through the midterm of the project. Therefore, during this reporting period, the program focused on increasing Youth Entrepreneurship assignments.

Bangladesh F2F is working to integrate agriculture into trainings, education, and skills-building for youth, as well as improving youth access to agriculture technologies and business opportunities. During the reporting period, the program completed seven Youth Entrepreneurship assignments. Eight volunteers worked with 16 hosts, including a USAID-funded project, a private sector business, seven NGOs, and seven farmer groups, directly assisting 464 youth entrepreneurs, youth trainers, students, and extension service providers. The assignments included:

Training on climate smart dairy cattle management for 84 youth cattle farmers and NGO staff, including 41 women.

“I have learned many new things from the [F2F

volunteer Archie Devore] training which I never found in

my over 22-years of government service. Now, I am

utilizing the training information to provide services to

the cattle farmers more effectively.”

-- Dr. Swapan Kumar Roy, Upazila Livestock Officer,

Batiaghta, Khulna

FY2017 Semi-Annual Report | March 2017 Page 3

Training more than 100 youth farmers and affiliated NGO staff, including 89 women, on improved small-scale climate smart goat rearing techniques to develop youth entrepreneurship.

Supporting and developing partnerships among an NGO, youth beekeepers, and a private sector business to strengthen improved beekeeping and cost-effective methods of production, processing, preservation, and use of bee products.

Training on eco-friendly techniques for safe banana production for 31 youth entrepreneurs, NGO, and government staff, including 15 women, and developing partnerships among an NGO, youth banana farmers, and a private sector agribusiness to promote sustainable banana production.

Building the capacity of 65 youth artificial insemination workers, university teachers, students, and host staff on breeding, bull management, lab facilities, and artificial insemination services; and

Developing entrepreneurship training in the agriculture sector for victims of human trafficking, in support of the USAID-funded Counter-trafficking in Persons program.

Major accomplishments

An impact survey conducted during the reporting period revealed that youth entrepreneurs increased their annual gross sales from $37,696 to $76,600 and net annual income increased from $7,999 to $19,700, as a result of F2F training on entrepreneurship development (including business planning, market assessment, business management, and record keeping). The host, Rural Unfortunates Safety Talisman Illumination Cottage (RUSTIC) - Youth Program has also linked youth with the Department of Youth Development, Agricultural Bank, and other institutions for training and entrepreneurial loans; 17 youth have received loans to start new enterprises.

After the F2F training on improved cattle management, three NGOs1 disseminated information to 22 other staff and 4,426 farmers, including 3,600 youth (97% women). In addition, the NGOs have disbursed $54,375 in microcredit to 240 youth (100% women), in support of new or improved cattle rearing businesses. This is the first time that the NGOs are providing funding in the livestock sector. The hosts are also including a training component to strengthen the borrower’s capacity in the sector.

F2F is helping catalyze private sector partnerships to support youth entrepreneurs in apiculture. Two months after a F2F assignment to develop partnerships for increased production of quality bee products and marketing, a Japanese buyer contacted the host, Bangladesh Association for Social Advancement

(BASA), with interest to purchase five tons of bee pollen from its farmer beneficiaries. The assignment

partner, Tropica Honey-Allwells Marketing Ltd., also bought 40 tons of honey at the cost $60,000 from 100 beekeeper beneficiaries.

With F2F assistance, the Church of Bangladesh Social Development Programme (CBSDP) and a private company, ACI Agribusiness, are supporting youth entrepreneurs to grow bananas using safe, eco-friendly methods. CBSDP has already trained 31 youth banana farmers, their staff, and two government extension agents on safe/eco-friendly banana production techniques and demonstrated drip irrigation systems. ACI has collected soil and water samples from the area to establish a one acre demo plot using banana tissue culture and drip irrigation systems.

B. BURMA During the reporting period, Burma F2F volunteers completed 16 volunteer trips focusing on various aspects of rural development, including food safety, integrated pest management, permaculture design, and business management, particularly for livestock, horticulture, and tree crops. Volunteers directly assisted 17 hosts (primarily individual farmers, farmer’s associations, and women’s groups) and 1,083 individuals (48% women).

“I was encouraged from F2F training to be an

entrepreneur. After the training, I have started fish

farming as business and earned US$2,500 last year.

This is a big help for my family”.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT All of the assignments completed during the reporting period contributed towards Burma’s Rural Development Country F2F Project. Specific assignments included: Increasing food safety awareness in the livestock

sector through three assignments related to food safety, including training on HACCP standards, good management practices, and safe food handling for 154 livestock processors.

Training 26 Myanmar Livestock Federation (MLF) members on livestock marketing and customer needs assessments.

Developing an English-Myanmar livestock

dictionary, to enable farmers to understand

technical information in their local language, thus knocking down language barriers to information. F2F

volunteers also developed a smartphone app for rural farmers and trained Silver Sea Media staff on

developing and updating the dictionary.

Building the capacity of 24 members of the Myanmar Livestock Development Corporation on the

establishment of a poultry house with an evaporated cooling system, and providing training on

biosecurity in poultry production.

Strengthening smallholder farmers’ technical skills for tree crop production through training for 183

mango farmers on IPM and safe pesticide use, and training for 62 macadamia nut farmers on post-

harvest techniques and technology.

Training 62 farmers on permaculture design for crop production.

Strengthening business management techniques for 83 horticulture farmers.

Supporting 75 women members of the Shwe Danu Self Help Group and Shwe Inn Thu Self Help Services Group in the production of value-added agriculture products, as well as on business planning, record keeping, and marketing.

Major accomplishments

As a result of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and food safety training, one mango processor upgraded her processing plant with cold storage and is working towards receiving GMP certification. With these improvements in place, she plans to export frozen mango and mango puree to South Korea after the next mango harvest in May; she has already secured agreements with a buyer. By improving product quality, she will be able to receive better prices for the mango products, which will result in better prices for local mango farmer suppliers.

MLF Mandalay conducted its first agriculture and livestock fair in March, in order to raise funds and create partnerships and linkages to support the Federation’s goals. More than 60 private sector entities purchased booth space for the event. As a result of connections made during the Mandalay fair, more than 600 Myanmar livestock and agriculture stakeholders were invited to participate in the VIVAsia livestock fair in Bangkok, which provided an opportunity for MLF members to make new contacts and future market linkages.

The Myanmar Fruit, Flower, and Vegetable Producer and Exporter Association (MFFVPEA) has designed its own farmer-to-farmer based training, using the knowledge imparted by F2F volunteers. The trained MFFVPEA members are now directly providing technical assistance to other farmers. Sixteen replication training sessions have taken place, demonstrating the power of people-to-people and farmer-to-farmer exchanges to disseminate knowledge. Stemming from four F2F trainings, MFFVPEA has also formed three avocado clusters and organized the First Avocado Fair and Competition in Southern Shan, highlighting more than 100 avocado varieties and the growth of avocado farming in the region. In addition, in just two months after receiving volunteer training, MFFVPEA organized two of the three regional clusters needed to form a macadamia nut cluster. Once the macadamia nut cluster is formed, MFFVPEA intends to replicate the nut cracker technology introduced by the volunteer and will disseminate this among macadamia nut farmers within the cluster.

“On behalf of Myanmar Farmers, MLF appreciates

Winrock’s USAID-Funded Asia Farmer-to-Farmer

Program for their kind, useful and energetic support for

technical improvement. This seminar was a very first

step for food safety and will be a historic moment for

Myanmar.”

-- Dr. Nay Thuyein, Secretary of MLF (Mandalay)

FY2017 Semi-Annual Report | March 2017 Page 5

Based on the success and interest generated by the Safe Food from Safe Farm market initiated in 2015, MFFVPEA recently launched a second market in Naypyidaw, which is the first of its kind in the region and which provides opportunities for farmers in the area to sell their organic products. MFFVPEA also opened a permanent Safe Food from Safe Farm shop in Yangon.

Women’s groups in seven communities have begun to sell natural, agriculture-based soaps for the first time. With support from both F2F and the Winrock Economic Empowerment Initiative in Myanmar (funded by an external private sector donor), the women’s groups now have a collective business plan and logo. Some of the groups have initiated market linkages with local hotels or other markets, to sell their products.

F2F’s work on food safety issues has been increasingly recognized by external stakeholders. The GIZ Private Sector Development project requested F2F training materials on postharvest practices for mango, which the project will adapt and use for its own trainings and further disseminate to its farmer beneficiaries. In addition, after seeing F2F information at a recent Food Safety Fair in Yangon, various agriculture sector stakeholders have contacted Winrock to request assistance in this area.

C. NEPAL During the reporting period, Nepal volunteers completed 14 volunteer trips, directly assisting 1,222 individuals and 16 hosts. The Nepal team focused the majority of its work during the reporting period on Youth Entrepreneurship assignments since a greater number of AET assignments had been completed by the mid-term point of the project. F2F Nepal built synergies, where possible, between Youth Entrepreneurship and AET. For example, two Youth Entrepreneurship volunteers presented information about their assignments and areas of expertise at the Himalayan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (HICAST).

AGRICULTURE EDUCATION AND TRAINING (AET) Three2 F2F volunteers directly assisted more than 214 individuals through AET assignments, working with one university and one government agency. Beneficiaries included academic faculty, students, research scientists, government officers, extension providers, lead farmers, and NGO staff. Specific AET assignments conducted during the reporting period included:

Training of trainers for 12 students and faculty of the Tribhuvan University on various aspects of fish health management techniques; and

Developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the Animal Nutrition Laboratory staff, focusing on nutrition analyses to improve livestock nutrition.

Major accomplishments

Following F2F volunteer technical assistance, the Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) institutionalized postgraduate curriculum on seed science, Agri-MBA, and weed science. Six students enrolled in the Agri-MBA program, ten students in the seed science program, and three students in AFU’s postgraduate weed science program during the current semester. F2F volunteer Dr. Anil Shrestha is co-supervising the postgraduate students’ research.

2 One of the volunteers visited both Bangladesh and Nepal during one volunteer trip; the trip was counted under

Bangladesh.

“This type of training [fish disease

diagnosis] will help to refine the practical

knowledge of the students as well as faculty

and committed to continue such type of

approach in the college”.

-- Shailesh Gurung, Assistant Professor,

Tribhuvan University

YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP Thirteen3 F2F volunteers completed youth entrepreneurship assignments during the reporting period, directly assisting 909 individuals from 13 youth organizations, NGOs, farmer’s groups/cooperatives, businesses, and unions. Programming in the youth sector is new for the Government of Nepal, but the country is now prioritizing this sector and promoting cross-cutting activities that support youth. The government’s Social Welfare Council has asked F2F to increase youth programming, given the country’s priorities. Therefore, F2F Nepal implemented more Youth Entrepreneurship assignments over the last six months. Specific assignments included:

Technical assistance and training on pig and piglet management, dairy production, and milking machine operation to increase entrepreneurial and business opportunities for youth in the livestock sector.

Capacity building in soft skills such as public speaking, job application etiquette, interview techniques, resume preparation, effective cover letter writing strategies, and proposal writing for 51 Women Development Advocacy Center (WDAC)’s youth beneficiaries (94% women).

Training on cooperative and marketing development for youth-led on-farm and off-farm enterprises.

Training-of-trainers on hygienic queen bee production and honey processing for 38 members of the Federation of Nepal Beekeepers Association of Dang District to enable youth to expand their beekeeping businesses or work with others as consultants or trainers.

Technical training on aquaculture management practices for 17 youth members of the Sahodar cooperative.

Training-of-trainers on methods to conduct agricultural value chain analyses to improve youth smallholders’ competitiveness through sustainable market-based solutions.

Support to 52 forestry workers on aromatic essential oil production, processing, and marketing.

Three trainings and associated technical assistance on goat breeding and management for 64 representatives of the Model Village Goat Campaign for Youth and 60 other youth farmers. Three Peace Corps volunteers attended two of these trainings and will replicate the trainings in their target communities.

Major accomplishments

Resulting from a volunteer assignment that took place in February-March 2016, beekeeper beneficiaries working with F2F host, Beekeeping Development Office, increased honey harvests from 30 kg to 40 kg (33%) per hive per year.

The impact of volunteer, Neelam Canto-lugo’s, assignment and the support provided by F2F has influenced WDAC’s programs. For example, WDAC set up a $10,000 impact investment fund to support the scale-up of rural microenterprises. Ms. Canto-lugo raised funds in the US to support this program. As a result of the partnership forged between F2F and WDAC, the host has invited F2F to attend their program evaluations and other events.

24 youth goat entrepreneurs started new goat raising businesses after participating in F2F training (including 120 goat entrepreneurs that were reported in FY2016).

3 One of the volunteers also visited both Bangladesh and Nepal during one volunteer trip; the trip was counted under

Bangladesh.

“I would like to thank you all for your great support to

FEWUN and our members to enhance their skills and

knowledge on essential oil processing and marketing in

Terai districts of Nepal. Your contribution is highly

appreciated by our members and I am hoping that it will

impact in their business very soon. We, FEWUN team,

will follow up on all of these [recommendations] in

coming days, as Dorene has recommended to us in the

report. These recommendations are very helpful to us

to make our strategic intervention in the field.

-- Bhola Bhattarai, Forest Environment Workers Union

This ceremony was broadcasted live via Facebook.

III. Discussion of any Major Implementation Problems and/or Deviations from

Expectations for Performance Indicators The last six months of implementation had minimal disruptions affecting volunteer assignments in the three Asia F2F countries. This allowed all three core countries to stay on track with assignment targets. The project also stayed abreast of any potential strikes or events that may disturb volunteer assignments and adjusted schedules as necessary. In anticipation of the upcoming electoral cycles and ensuing disruptions in local travel in Nepal, the Nepal F2F team frontloaded volunteer assignments during this reporting period in case strikes and political activity around the elections limits volunteer travel later in the fiscal year. Local level elections will take place in May; no volunteers will be in-country during that time.

IV. Summary of Status of Sub-Award Projects Winrock implements two Associate Awards under the Asia F2F LWA:

The Value Chains for Rural Development (VCRD) associate award is in its 3rd year of implementation. During October 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017, the project fielded 12 volunteers to conduct work related to melon plant nutrition and post-harvest training, organizational development and business skills for local agribusinesses, training on soybean value-added production, and various aspects of coffee value chain support, including quality training, cupping competition judging, and market linkages.

During the reporting period, VCRD mobilized six long-term volunteers whose assignments will end next reporting period. Four students from the George Washington University’s Elliott School for International Affairs began a semester-long assignment to analyze farmer extension methods and their impacts on farmer uptake, food security, and gender equity. The volunteers’ final report will be completed in late April 2017. An M&E volunteer is supporting local partners with their M&E systems with the goal to strengthen their skills and promote their sustainability as agriculture service providers beyond the end of the project.

FY2017 Semi-Annual Report | March 2017 Page 9

The assignment will be completed in July 2017. VCRD partner Social Action for Rural Advancement mobilized one long-term international volunteer to support farmer demonstration plots and train on improved cultivation methods in the sesame value chain. This assignment will be completed by August 2017.

The Mozambique Feed the Future Resilient Agricultural Markets Activity – Nacala Cooridor was awarded to Winrock in November 2016. The activity aims to increase yields and resilience to climate change in Mozambique’s Nacala Corridor by improving the quality of agricultural information, basic practices, and technologies available. The project’s objective is to reduce poverty and hunger through increased equitable growth of the agricultural sector and increased resiliency. Project interventions will increase productivity and climate resilience by providing higher quality, demand-driven information and services to businesses, agricultural producers, and processors. The project team submitted its workplan to USAID/Mozambique in April 2017 and will begin implementation during the second half of FY17. The project has a target of 36 volunteers over the life of the program.

V. Planned Activities for the Next Six Months Asia F2F plans to complete 38 assignments during the second half of FY2017. This will include 17 assignments in Bangladesh, nine assignments in Burma, and 12 assignments in Nepal. For additional details, see the FY2017 Workplan.

During the next six months, Asia F2F also plans to increase its flexible assignments in non-core countries. For example, Asia F2F developed one SOW, currently under mobilization, to support the USAID-funded Vietnam Forest and Deltas project with agricultural extension models. F2F staff are also developing two SOWs to support the regional Feed the Future Asia Innovative Farmers Activity (AIFA) with farmer focus group methodologies and to support their Nepalese partners with horticultural production using pest exclusion nets. Furthermore, Winrock staff are working with USAID/Turkmenistan to receive government approval for two pending scopes of work (SOWs); volunteers are ready to travel once the approvals are obtained. Winrock also hopes to field flexible volunteers in Zimbabwe in FY17; we have been in correspondence with USAID/Zimbabwe and the local implementing organization of the Mission’s FTF project about potential SOWs.

F2F staff will support the F2F external evaluator, Eric Johnson, who will travel to Bangladesh in May.

VI. Standard F2F Performance and Impact Indicator Data Tables Indicator data tables covering the reporting period can be found in Annex 1.

VII. Summary of Volunteer Assignments A summary of completed volunteer assignments during the reporting period can be found in Annex 2.

VIII. M&E Certification Winrock International confirms that we have a) used established indicators and definitions; b) participated in regular (annual) workshops reviewing indicators and M&E systems; and c) trained field staff on indicators and data collection systems. The above-mentioned training sessions include extensive instruction in the collection and reporting of indicators.

IX. PERSUAP Compliance Winrock’s confirmation of PERSUAP compliance for the Asia F2F Program can be found in Annex 3.

X. Recruitment Compliance

This confirms that Winrock International does not engage in transactions with, or provide resources or support to, individuals and organizations associated with terrorism, including those individuals or entities that appear on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Treasury or the United Nations Security designation list. All potential volunteers are screened against these and other watch lists, and this provision is included in all sub-agreements, including sub-awards and contracts issued under the F2F award. This also confirms that Winrock International carries out at least two reference checks on all potential first time F2F volunteers in addition to other required screening, and carries out reference checks on all repeat F2F volunteers with regard to prior F2F assignments and additional external references, if no F2F assignments have been completed within the past 24 months. This confirms that Winrock International immediately informs the USAID AOR of any negative F2F volunteer performance or behavior and provides information on such performance or behavior experiences to other F2F implementing organizations when contacted for reference checks on potential volunteers.

YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Neelam Canto-lugo, 9/10/2016-10/3/2016, Kathmandu, Janakpur, and Birgunj Host organization: Women Development Advocacy Center (WDAC) and Rural Micro-Enterprise Accelerator Program The objective of this assignment was to provide training for youth community beneficiaries, NGO workers, and teachers on “soft skills” including goal setting, public speaking, presentation skills, and career development/job readiness skills. More than 200 youth (92% female) participated in interactive training sessions which included mock interviews and hands-on work on communications materials and marketing plans for micro entrepreneurs. These efforts will benefit several budding micro enterprises in the

agriculture sector, including businesses focused on dairy, basket-making, and value added food products. Archie Devore, 10/21/2016-10/28/2016, Kavre District Host organization: Gautam Shree Organic and Cow Farm Private Limited This assignment aimed to build the capacity of the host and its 60 youth workers, to improve dairy cattle management and milk processing. Mr. Devore provided hands-on training on all aspects of dairy farming and animal husbandry, including calf care, breeding, feeding, housing, disease management, hoof care, milking management, and sanitation. He introduced and donated several new tools, and provided detailed recommendations to help improve animal health and milk production. The farm owner intends to publish Mr. Devore’s booklet on dairy cow farming into local language so that youth employees and other youth farmers in the community can follow the techniques. Many local farmers, including approximately 70 youth, are already coming to the host’s dairy farm to learn more about the overall management of dairy cattle and dairy production. Ten of the trained youth have started new dairy business ventures. Dorene Petersen and Robert Seidel, 11/2/2016-11/28/2016, Kathmandu, Sarlahi, and Bardiya Districts Host organization: Forest Environment Worker’s Union Nepal (FEWUN) FEWUN has over 4,000 youth members in 40 districts across Nepal. Ms. Petersen and Mr. Seidel worked together on complementary assignments with FEWUN farmers on essential oils processing and marketing plan development. Specifically, Ms. Petersen brought expertise in aromatherapy, while Mr, Seidel focused on the distillation process. The volunteers visited five distillation facilities and provided training on essential oil production, handling, processing, storage, and marketing, to improve skills in this profitable livelihood activity. The training raised awareness of quality standards as well as different products that can be produced using essential oils, and generated strong interest among participants. The volunteers donated more than $700 in materials for the young entrepreneurs. Rajesh Jha and Halina Zaleski, 12/9/16-12/27/16, Hetauda, Makawanpur District Host organization: Swarojgar Pig Raising Farmers Group The host requested a volunteer to conduct training for its youth members to build their capacity on improved management practices of pigs and piglets. Dr. Jha and Dr. Zaleski’s training covered all aspects of animal health, nutrition, breeding, piglet management, and marketing. More than 30 youth (22% women) participated in the hands-on training; several of them immediately put their new knowledge into practice. For example, after a discussion on biosecurity, participants subsequently provided their own clean boots for the trainers to wear during the piglet processing practice; and following the training on artificial insemination and hand-mating, farmers began using the new techniques with their sows.  

“The training really helped me enhance my leadership skills. The set of skills that Ms. Canto‐lugo taught us in the training will be very useful for me on my career development. Now, I am planning to give the same kind of trainings to my community people too.” 

 ‐‐Rosaline Sharad, trainee 

“Being born and raised in Nepal, I have deep sentimental attachment and felt like working in my village and trying to make some difference 

in the life of my own people.”

feeding, fertilizing, and water quality. This was a PERSUAP Type 2 assignment; Dr. Thomforde did not recommend any specific pest control agents. William Foxworth, 2/18/17-3/11/17, Syangja Host organization: Okadi Goat Raising Group The objectives of assignment were to increase skills of goat farmers (primarily youth) in artificial insemination. Mr. Foxworth provided training and assistance to 67 farmers, livestock technicians, and animal health workers (50 youth) on goat anatomy and artificial insemination techniques. The training was hands-on and participatory; Mr. Foxworth and the trainees inseminated 23 goats from nine different owners during the training program. After the presentations and hands on training, most of the participants were determining the heat status of the does on their own. Two Peace Corps volunteer also participated in the training and will take this knowledge back to farmers in their posts. At the end of the assignment, Mr. Foxworth also conducted seminars at the Himalayan College of Agricultural Science and Technology and the Animal Breeding Division of the Nepal Animal Science Research Institute.

Kenton Ayers, 2/15/2017-3/13/2017, Nuwakot Host organization: Integrated Tadi Development Society Nepal The goal of this assignment was to train the host’s staff on conducting value chain assessments and to build their capacity to train their youth farmer beneficiaries and other stakeholders on value chain assessments and market analyses to strengthen their agribusiness promotion services. Mr. Ayers provided a step-by-step analysis of each activity in the agriculture commodity value chain using participatory processes. The participants learned the importance of communication with the other actors in the value chain and that, by working together, they can find out what opportunities and constraints value chain actors face. With this information and training, the host will

be able to improve the competitiveness of the local farmers, businesses, and markets and be a more effective provider of these trainings to their youth beneficiaries. FLEXIBLE William Zimmerman, 1/20/2017-2/9/2017, Ilam Municipality Host organization: Ilam Municipality This assignment supported an ongoing project funded by the European Union, which focuses on a public-private partnership (PPP) between the Ilam Municipality and a private operator for waste management. The goal of the PPP is to use the biodegradable waste produced by the municipality for compost to be used for the sustainable production of organic tea and vegetables. The volunteer, Dr. Zimmerman, trained staff from the composting plant private operator, municipality, NGOs, community, farmers, and students on compost production and market linkages to sell compost. The volunteer also developed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual for the compost facility to document all production related protocols. Dr. Zimmerman recommended to experiment with the feedstock blends to raise the quality of the organic waste compost and to document all process steps associated with the SOP.

“The training was more practical and focused to the local context so that we can replicate it effectively!”

Segarra-Carmona provided training on how to diagnose diseases and pests and both insecticides and fungicides (protectants and systemics) were mentioned as potential methods to control pathogens and pests.* Safety procedures and practices on pesticides management were emphasized to farmers of the Mandalay and Sagaing regions. Approximately 184 farmers were provided handouts on how to identify and recognize common diseases and insect pests of mango, and how to select and apply proper ID/PM practices in their farms. In the handouts, the volunteers emphasized the importance of cultural practices (i.e. sanitation, plow) and the importance of protecting beneficial insects (i.e. pollinators and natural enemies) in their farms. Finally, they helped to create awareness about the negative consequences of indiscriminate pesticide applications in mango production. *All pesticide that were recommended by the volunteers were approved per the PERSUAP approved list in Attachment A. In addition, banned pesticides that have detrimental environmental and residual effects were also explained/noted by the volunteer. Needs for a PERSUAP amendment: Lydia Rivera and Alejandro Segarra-Carmona recommended that the following pesticides to be added to the approved F2F Attachment A Table 2 list: Actigard or Bion, Messenger® a Erwinia amylovora-based pesticide (a new group of plant defense activators). Hugh Thomforde, Michael Embrey, and Edgar Levi noted that the SUAP is cumbersome and difficult to apply to either aquaculture or beekeeping. They suggest editing into subsections or categories within the SUAP for different applications/areas where pesticides might be used. As it stands, they noted that there is little material relevant to aquaculture or beekeeping.

Improving Business Management Skills for Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurs in Nepal Mr. Binod Chaulagain lost his father when he was just 12 years old. His family was uneducated, and at an early age, he began to think about ways in which he could help his family and his society. Binod decided that the best way to help his community thrive would be to work in agriculture. He started a small livestock and forage production business, but he was in need of further training in order to be successful. Accordingly, he joined Youth Partnership for Development Peace Nepal (YSP-Nepal), a non-profit organization located in Ramechhap district, which mobilizes 300 youth through an organized network to develop skills in areas such as agriculture, livestock, and entrepreneurship development. Through YSP-Nepal, Binod received self-reliance training, providing him with inspiration to start a nursery enterprise, which he believed would be more profitable than other activities. Farmer-to-Farmer volunteer, Dr. Tiffany Drape, arrived in Ramechhap district in March 2016 to provide a training-of-trainers on youth facilitation and agriculture-based entrepreneurship development to staff and members of 4H Nepal and YSP-Nepal. Through the interactive training, Binod and 37 other youth participants increased their knowledge and skills in business planning, SWOT analysis, SMART goals development, financial planning, and marketing. Based on Dr. Drape’s business management recommendations, Binod has since invested some of the profits from his nursery business. This investment enabled him to double his land from 750 square meters to 1,500 square meters, and expand his business to include over 100 species of plants including fruits, vegetables, and herbal plants. This increased his potential crop output from 300,000 Nepali Rupees to one million Nepali Rupees within one year. Encouraged by his own success and eager to put his new skills to greater use, Binod provided an intensive training to 15 youth in various aspects of business management and marketing techniques

based on the training he received from Dr. Drape. In addition to his nursery enterprise, in the past year he began to provide agriculture and business management training as a consultant, working in various districts to train other farmers (including 75 youth) to establish livestock and forage farms. From this new enterprise, he has added 42,000 Nepali Rupees to his income. Binod explains, “Dr. Drape’s training helped to broaden our horizon. It was inspiring and energizing for me. She showed us that nothing is impossible in agriculture. Whatever I am doing, I should improve and disseminate to others.”

Improved Small-scale Cattle Rearing for Youth Entrepreneurship NGOs extend support to youth to adopt new cattle rearing techniques in southern Bangladesh Despite the potential of small-scale cattle rearing as an entrepreneurship and income generating opportunity for youth (particularly women) in Bangladesh, many youth face a lack of technical knowledge, business acumen, and access to extension and credit support, and are therefore reluctant to engage in this type of activity. Recognizing both the opportunities and the constraints, three small local NGOs -- Association for Rural Mission (ARM), Peoples Development Foundation (PDF), and Ashraf Foundation (AF) -- requested volunteer technical assistance from the USAID Farmer-to-Farmer Program to increase their staff and youth farmers’ knowledge and skills in improved cattle rearing. In response to this great need, F2F volunteer, Dr. Daniel Miller, trained 10 NGO staff and 56 youth (59% women) on improved dairy cattle rearing for entrepreneurship development in Khulna and Jessore. The F2F training built the capacity of the NGOs to be able to provide services to promote improved small-scale cattle rearing as a business among youth in the localities. “Along with many other topics, we have learned about improved cowshed design, proper feeding techniques, importance of 24 hour access to safe drinking water for animals, hygienic milking, importance of allowing calves to feed on grass and grain at early age, record keeping, etc. from the F2F training. Now, we are disseminating this useful information to our women youth beneficiaries to develop entrepreneurs in the livestock sector,” notes Ashish Halder, the Executive Director of ARM. After attending the F2F training, staff disseminated information to 22 other staff and 4,426 farmers, including 3,600 youth (97% women). The NGO staff follow up on the progress of the youth cattle rearing activities at weekly intervals, and they advise the youth on ways to address problems and make improvements. The NGOs also assisted the youth to start growing Napier and Para grass in about one hectare, and they helped the youth to maintain simple financial records to track the cost-benefit of their cattle businesses. The NGOs also disbursed $54,375 in microcredit to 240 female youth to support their budding cattle rearing businesses. This is the first time that the organizations focused financial support in the livestock sector. Atiquzzaman Moni, Executive Director of PDF, stated, “We had no expertise on cattle management. F2F training has helped us a lot to provide technical support to the youth in addition to microcredit to bring change in the existing situation.” The technical assistance and microcredit support from the NGOs has shown encouraging results to improve the performance of cattle rearing and to increase youths’ interest in this profitable livelihood activity. Out of 56 youth farmers who attended Dr. Miller’s training, 31 farmers are now practicing dairy farming as a business; the rest are planning to start soon. Sixteen of these youth are raising cattle and generating income for the first time. Altogether, the 31 youth have increased their income from $753 to $7,202 in one year. This has encouraged and inspired other youth in the locality. The young farmers are proud of their accomplishments, as indicated from the testimonials below: “After F2F training, I improved feeding for my three cows and three calves which helped to increase milk production from 5 to 10 liters per day.” -- Ms. Sucharita Thikadar “F2F training inspired me to start dairy cattle farming newly. I have purchased one dairy cow and one calf. Currently, I get three liters of milk per day, which helps me to earn $2.50 per day. I’m planning to extend my dairy business soon.” - Ms. Mira Poddar “I was not aware of the importance of improved cowshed, including many other important things to make dairy farming profitable. F2F training helped me to learn these things. Now, I practice and share those with other farmers in our community. They consider me as a Priest of cattle farming. They are following my advice and getting benefit. I feel proud for this.” – Ms. Rahima Khatun
