Documentation training / facilitation
Yet, this work, also referred to as documentation, is often not carried out- for many different reasons. The Agricultures Network offers support to practitioners in documenting experiences and sharing lessons. We do this in the form of trainings, process facilitation and coaching.
On these pages you find a few examples of what we offer. You can also download Learning from experience, our manual for organising, analysing and documenting field-based information.

Documentation in the Middle East and Northern AfricaIn July and September 2012 and in February 2013, ILEIA and IED Afrique trained IFAD staff and researchers who are part of Karianet, a knowledge sharing network on agriculture in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Over 100 very active participants described and analysed their agricultural experiences, ranging from olive oil in Lebanon to Gum Arabic in Sudan and a video project in Palestine. The training was supported by IFAD and IDRC.

Knowledge Sharing in Asia and the PacificIn 2010, IFAD and FAO launched a programme on knowledge sharing in Asia. It aims to provide project staff, as well as those from partner institutions, with the skills and tools required to ensure that knowledge, experiences and lessons learned are adequately captured and shared. ILEIA was invited to run two workshops on "Participatory techniques in the field". |

People-led development in Bangladesh and India
In 2009, ILEIA and the AME Foundation joined its partner organisations in Bangladesh and in Eastern India in a thorough reflection process around 'people-led development'. This was an initiative of MISEREOR, the German development organisation. We facilitated a thorough documentation process, complemented by the publication of a detailed report.
