On January 14-15 2016, Dr Silim Nahdy, the executive director of the African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS), and his technical team, visited CTA to discuss the evolution of African extension services and potential areas for partnership. 

With huge potential for impacting farmers “The CF can make good use of CTA’s wealth of information for innovations and how to reach farmers. Whether it is information on climate-smart agriculture, value chains or the use of certain ICT tools,” said Dr Silim Nahdy, African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS) Executive Director. CTA and AFASS are now working towards a MoU and a joint action plan, which will strengthen the CF concept and its delivery to strengthen extension officers’ capacities in Africa.
