5 Convince absentee farmer-participants that regularly attending FFS will help them solve or<br />

better understand their problems in organic vegetable production; and<br />

5 Get assurance from absentee farmer-participants to continue attending succeeding FFS<br />

sessions on organic vegetable production.<br />

3. Return to processing area and brainstorm in small groups on initial experiences in using<br />

designed strategy to facilitate absenteeism. Present observations and experiences <strong>of</strong> small<br />

groups in a big group.<br />

4. Synthesize and summarize output <strong>of</strong> small groups into one big group output. Draw up<br />

conclusions and recommendations from exercise.<br />

5. Use output <strong>of</strong> exercise to facilitate problems <strong>of</strong> absenteeism among farmer-participants in<br />

succeeding FFS sessions on organic vegetable production.<br />

6. Repeat steps 3-5.<br />

some suggested questions <strong>for</strong> the processing discussion<br />

❏ What were commonest causes <strong>of</strong> absenteeism among FFS farmer-participants?<br />

❏ What strategies did you employ to facilitate problems <strong>of</strong> absenteeism among FFS farmerparticipants?<br />

Which <strong>of</strong> the strategies employed worked best?<br />

❏ What pre-FFS activities should be undertaken by an IPM training team to ensure regular<br />

attendance <strong>of</strong> farmer participants in an FFS on organic vegetable production?<br />

❏ How can a facilitator ensure that topics are interesting in every FFS session?<br />

❏ Did follow up <strong>of</strong> absentee farmer-participants help solved problems <strong>of</strong> absenteeism in an ongoing<br />

FFS on organic vegetable production?<br />

❏ How did you show absentee farmer-participants that they are important in success <strong>of</strong> an ongoing<br />

FFS on organic vegetable production?<br />

❏ How did you make absentee farmer-participants share their own problems in organic vegetable<br />

production? How did you convince absentee farmer-participants that regularly attending FFS<br />

will help them solve or better understand their problems in organic vegetable production?<br />
