By participating in one of COD’s exchange programs, you will be able to strengthen your existing skills while learning new techniques that will help you feel more confident and prepared for the future. These accomplishments could never be acquired in the classroom alone, as they are the direct result of the one-on-one training between CAEP hosts and exchange visitor participants.
COD help farmers build their skill and Support Agents who work within South Sudan rural communities to provide training to farmers. These networks help farmers learn about best practices, give them somewhere to turn when they have questions about their crops, and connect them to reputable buyers and suppliers. This training is critical to improving smallholder farmers' yields—and, in turn, addressing hunger and poverty in South Sudan.
