These technicians fulfill multiple roles: representing the NGO within the community and ensuring the effective communication of information; organizing and facilitating training sessions (such as Farmer Field Schools); supporting the establishment of demonstration plots; and providing personalized follow-up with each beneficiary to ensure that proper methods are being used and to offer essential guidance. However, some of these plots can be located more than a two-hour walk away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">To support its agricultural technicians, Dahari has recently hired part-time extension workers in various villages. These individuals were selected from among our most engaged and innovative beneficiary farmers. Having been part of the project for a long time, they were welcomed into the Dahari team with great pleasure. There are ten of them in total\u2014one or two per village\u2014tasked with assisting the agricultural technician in their duties, providing advice to their peers, and encouraging more hesitant farmers to see the value of Dahari\u2019s work.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3012\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3331\" src=\"https:\/\/daharicomores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Vulgarisateurs-570x308-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daharicomores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Vulgarisateurs-570x308-1.jpg 570w, https:\/\/daharicomores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Vulgarisateurs-570x308-1-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">This evolution of the NGO has several merits:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">\u2013 The NGO finds itself strengthened on the ground and within local communities, which is essential for its successful development.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">\u2013 The NGO values \u200b\u200band empowers its most successful beneficiaries, who become role models and the best ambassadors for our initiatives and their tangible results.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">\u2013 The NGO is growing and, first and foremost, stabilizing its field operations; it is seeking to better leverage its presence within the village while gradually preparing for the withdrawal of its technicians in a few years\u2019 time.
