The only option in the short term for ensuring ongoing extension and dissemination of thetraining course designed is for this to be financed by donors (such as the WARFP) and/orstate budget. The BNF is therefore recommended to provide a budget line for sector training.Trainers can then submit training proposals to the BNF for financing using the materialsdeveloped under this Project.
