Abstract:
From 2005 to 2007, the Southeast Asian Network for Agroforestry Education (SEANAFE) developed a region-wide curricular framework and case study materials for teaching on ‘Markets for agroforestry tree products (MAFTP)’. In general, the project was aimed at (a) improving agroforestry education in universities and colleges in Southeast Asia and (b) enhancing the teaching capacity of at least 100 lecturers from SEANAFE member institutions on the subject matter. Five country cases served as basis for developing the MAFTP curricular framework and teaching materials. In-country trainings were conducted and a Teacher’s Guide on how to use the curricular framework and the teaching case study materials was produced and disseminated to SEANAFE member institutions. Below is the MAFTP curricular framework developed through the projectTo ensure project impact, SEANAFE provided small grants to member institutions who showed interest to mainstream the project outputs. The action plans developed and submitted to SEANAFE by the in-country participants became the basis for implementingMAFTP mainstreaming activities in Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
