Future proof cooperatives - Financial management training for managers and board members

Between 2011 and 2013, Agriterra focused most of its efforts in terms of financial management on Peru, where it developed all the materials needed to consolidate its Basic Financial Management Workshop, as well as its adaption for the Training of Trainers (ToT) for each one of the cooperatives. In 2014, the Project was extended to 6 other countries (Indonesia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Bolivia and Tanzania). All the materials for the Basic Financial Management Workshop were contextualized and expert trainers were prepared, thus replicating this project in each of these countries. As part of its strategy for 2015 through 2019, Agriterra will continue to support all its clients in terms of transparency and good management practices. These clients include those with which Agriterra is already actively working on this issue and those clients that will join after the organization is restructured in the upcoming months. The underlying project comprises the following services:(1) implementation of the Basic Financial Management training (2) expansion to the new appointed program countries Nepal, Vietnam, China, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, Congo DR, (3) recruitment and training of new trainers + Agriterra staff involved, (4) refreshment meetings for trainers and (5) design and production of an advanced strategic and financial management workshop for managers and directors of organizations that have already participated in the Basic Financial Management Workshop.
