  7. Public Private Partnership - Criteria • The contribution of both partners must complement each other, so that all sides achieve their respective goals: development policy benefits and commercial success. • The project goes beyond the participating companies core competencies. • The private partners cover at least 50 % of the project costs. • The project must be conform to the development policy of the German government.

  13. Components • Qualification of specialists and management staff of agricultural farms, local administration, training and extension institutions through seminars, on site and in Germany including visits to best-practice farms. • Support of interested local institutions (agricultural administration, institutes,universities) in developing sustainable extension services using established centres and trained personnel.

  14. Achievements so far • Suitable local farms for the joint development of best-practices identified, field trials and demonstrations plots prepared, and training of local staff in progress. • Advising local farmers on production techniques by field days and workshops started and ongoing. • Discussions with interested institutions about their involvement in developing extension concepts initiated.
