COLEACP’s “Guides to Good Practice” development

COLEACP’s Fit For Market programme is providing training to local experts in developing horticultural sector Good Practice Guides with value chain stakeholders, to support compliance with SPS standards. Local experts are benefiting from a three-part training course to master the many and varied hard and soft skills that they will need.

Following on from successful completion of online training (Phase 1), yesterday we held the inception meeting for Phase 2 – training will begin next week to strengthen the experts’ capacity to develop and structure a Guide through improved project management and communication skills. Phase 3 will involve personalised coaching during the process of actually developing a Good Practice Guide. The first three Guides are planned for avocado and peas/beans (#Kenya) and capsicum (#Uganda).
