DUSHANBE, September 18, 2012, Asia-Plus — The Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO) Coordination Office in Tajikistan has arranged six-month English courses for Tajik officials.
UN FAO Coordination Office says the courses aim to raise potential of officials and make them ready for further training courses abroad.
Launched on September 17, the mentioned English course is reportedly organized in the framework of the UNFAO project, Support to Strengthening of the National Food Security Information System.
Sponsored by the European Union, this project reportedly focuses its activities on ensuring that decision makers have access to the quality information required for designing, implementing and monitoring agricultural interventions to reduce poverty and malnutrition.
In this respect, improving crop and food supply assessment methodology for enabling the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) to conduct proper activity is very important. The project has mobilized technical national expertise to introduce adopted Guidelines for Crop and Food Security (CFSA) Assessment that is customized to the local context, with a view to develop national capacities to apply this methodology.
