# AgriPlanner Development
Project details |
|
|---|---|
Partner(s):The South African Institute for Entrepreneurship has partnered with Coronation Fund Managers for the development of business training materials for the small holder agricultural sector. The principal beneficiaries are Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and other non profit, public benefit non governmental organisations. Funding from Coronation Fund Managers enables SAIE to develop the materials in a module called AgriPlanner. Our Involvement:The South African Institute for Entrepreneurship develops sector specific business training programmes for implementation to identified NGOs (and also schools) countrywide and their community-development projects. The training modules are designed to deal practically with agricultural issues and provide specific entrepreneurial and business skills training applicable and necessary to facilitate the economic growth of home gardens, community food gardens and other agricultural projects from a source of food security to a source of wealth and economic prosperity. SAIE will pilot the development locally (i.e. in the Western Cape) and implement the piloted materials nationally to organisations which express interest in practical business training to complement their work in sustainable livelihoods. Project Progress:The development of AgriPlanner materials has been successfully completed. Activities from implementation at the organisations which were used in the pilot stage of the program (For example Abalimi and Ecolink) have become projects standing on their own. Partner organisations like Heifer International, Ecolink and Siyazisiza have used the programme resulting in an explosion of new learnings. AgriPlanner trainees have come from different provinces of the country from as far as Springbok (SCAT) to the Cape Town projects in Kayelitsha and Nyanga at Abalimi. |
