PROJECTS
01
ALLIANCE FOR A GREEN REVOLUTION IN AFRICA (AGRA)
Animated videos for use in training of farmers across Africa on good agronomic practices of different crops. The animations will be a mix of 2D and 3D animations, which will be produced primarily in English and then translated into languages spoken throughout Africa such as Kiswahili, French and Portuguese.
The animations will serve as a means to support Village Based Advisors (VBAs) conduct training to farmers as they better illustrate concepts to farmers.
02
GIZ (AGRA)
GIZ Nairobi Office awarded the Digital Learning Unit a consultancy contract to develop web-based tools for blended learning under the Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) Capacity Development Initiative. The aim is to extend the current face-to-face course into a blended learning course, combining both online and offline phases.
The development of web-based tools for blended learning for training will make the course more attractive and effective in reaching the target audiences mainly lawyers with accessibility both nationally and regionally across Africa. Further, an alumni portal will be developed using appropriate tools to ensure long-term learning and exchange amongst colleagues who take the course
03
FARM INPUT PROMOTIOMS AFRICA (FIPS-AFRICA)
The Digital Learning Unit was awarded another consultancy contract where we would develop animated instructional videos for use in educating farmers on good farming practices. The animations target smallholder farmers, primarily in Kenya but potentially other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the aim of helping them understand their constraints and best practices they can adopt to improve and double farm production.
Moreover, the animations will inspire and motivate farmers to adopt the more advanced farming practices. The animations will also be used by people who train farmers such as FIPS staff, County Extension Officers and people selling inputs related to the technologies (service providers or agro-dealers).
