Scaling agricultural innovation is how NGOs multiply farmer incomes and food security impact. This 10-day course teaches NGO professionals to identify, test, and scale technologies appropriate to smallholder farming contexts.
NGOs want to scale innovations that increase farmer productivity and income — but scaling is harder than pilots. This 10-day course teaches NGO professionals the innovation management skills needed to identify appropriate technologies, pilot them with farmers, and scale successes across communities.
Participants work through a complete innovation cycle from identification through scaling, building the practical toolkit for agricultural technology programming at scale.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from development initiatives, donor-funded programmes, nonprofit operations, and public sector environments, examining how agricultural technology and innovation for ngos is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for designing scaling pathways, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
