The development and production of this Toolkit has been made possible thanks to the generous support of the Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its Education and Development Division of the Cultural Cooperation, Education and Research Department. The continuing support of the Netherlands’ Government to the training and education activities of the World Agroforestry Centre is greatly appreciated.
This funding has allowed the Centre and its collaborating partners to organize a series of regional training-of-trainers courses between 1997 and 2002 and to develop supporting training materials under a project entitled Strengthening training and education in agroforestry. Over 350 participants from 183 training, education, research and development institutions in 40 countries have attended these courses and contributed to the development of this Toolkit through their active participation. They are our main target audience for this Toolkit and their contribution to the project is herewith acknowledged.
