The SHEP Approach Training: Practice

The SHEP approach that successfully transforms farmers' mindsets from "grow and sell" to "grow to sell" was developed based on numerous insights acquired from agricultural extension in Japan. This material introduces the voices of farmers and extension officers who are actually implementing the SHEP approach in their countries.

At the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VII) held in 2019, "declaration for achieving better lives of one million small scale farmers through SHEP Approach" was made. In order to achieve this by 2030, the SHEP approach for agricultural extension services collaborations with various organizations, such as donor partners and NGOs, have been accelerated. Since SHEP implementers are trained mainly through Group and Region-Focused Training, this material was created to promote the training remotely without face-to-face lectures by conveying the key points of the training in this material. It is recommended to watch this "practice version" together with another video titled "The SHEP Approach Training Digest" made in 2020 to deepen further understanding of the SHEP approach.
