Project Burkina Faso

Strengthening capacities of trainers in poultry management and nutrition

Project Burkina Faso
In October 2021 two trainers of Aeres Training Centre, supported by a local trainer, gave a ten-day training in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. This training was on egg and meat production and was focused on strenghtening the capacities of trainers in poultry management and nutrition.

Blended learning approach

During this training we followed our blended-learning approach. This involved short interactive lectures, followed by practical assignments. We made frequent use of the practical poultry handbooks that all participants had received and our e-learning materials. Of course, field visits were also part of the program. Besides paying attention to poultry management, we trained soft skills which we consider essential for passing on knowledge to others.

This project was financed by the Nuffic OKP program.
