As part of the ‘Bridging the Gap: Promoting Socio-Economic Inclusion, Social Cohesion, and Peacebuilding for Vulnerable Communities’ project, African Students for Interfaith Tolerance (ASFIT), in partnership with CDD-Ghana and with support from the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF), organized a 10-day capacity-building training for fifty (50) participants drawn from ten (10) project communities in the North East Region of Ghana.
The training commenced with a three-day intensive session focused on financial literacy and marketing skills, equipping participants with essential knowledge in basic financial management, savings, and market access. This was followed by a comprehensive module on ruminant livestock production, which combined classroom learning with practical field visits to demonstration sites to enhance hands-on experience and real-world understanding.
During a debrief session, participants commended the facilitators for simplifying complex concepts, maintaining an engaging and participatory learning environment, and encouraging active involvement throughout the training. They particularly appreciated the practical field components, which helped translate theory into actionable skills applicable to their livelihoods.
