CCARDESA organised a training in October 2016 in Cape town. This training was based on the CCARDESA Training Package which is being rolled out in the SADC region. The objectives of the training were to ensure that technical staff for agricultural extension in southern Africa know concepts of climate change adaptation and climate smart agriculture for agriculture extension services and to ensure that they are capable to apply such concepts in their extension work. Participants were drawn from practitioners of agriculture extension in SADC member states. Following is the agenda of the training which includes links to the presentations.
