EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The training modules developed from training needs assessment carried out during 2010-2011 were further pilot tested and modified. The pilot testing of training modules was carried out for two levels of agriculture extension officers i.e. district and upazila agriculture officers and Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers operating at the village level. Pre- and post-training evaluations were carried out through structured questionnaires and the results were statistically tested using paired t-test. The pre-training evaluation of trainees revealed that half (50%) of the trainees had low knowledge and of the half (50%) had medium knowledge on climate change adaptation (CCA) (None of the trainees had high knowledge on CCA). Therefore, it may be concluded that there was a necessity to conduct training for the district and upazila Level Officers of Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) and Lecturer of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka. The post-training evaluation revealed that most (70%) of the trainees achieved high knowledge and 30% of them achieved medium knowledge on CCA. None of the trainees had low knowledge after receiving training. Therefore, it can be concluded that the training had led to improvement in their knowledge on CCA.

1. INTRODUCTIONChanges in rainfall, sea level and temperature have been the major impacts of climate variability and change in Bangladesh. The vulnerability to climate change in Bangladesh has been due to poor progress in development, high population density, and high dependency of large proportion of population on climate-re-lated sectors such as agriculture that is directly impacted by changes in climate and weather. Climate change adaptation (CCA) is a problem of capacity too. Though Bangladesh has robust system of agricultural research and training, the initiatives on capacity building for climate change in agriculture sector are still at nascent stages and needs a fillip. Efforts are required for building training pro-grammes for key stakeholder such as trainers, academicians, researchers, policy makers, development practitioners, extension providers etc. in Bangladesh in order to streamline the CCA principles and practices into development planning.

1.1 ObjectivesThe objectives of this project are two-fold:

• To pilot test and evaluate two training modules developed during the first phase of the project

• To modify the training modules according to the test results

2. METHODOLOGY

Training needs assessment (First phase of this project)1

Training needs assessment was conducted by a three-step process in the first phase of this project. A set of questionnaires developed by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies was used for conducting training needs as-sessment. Data was collected from key informants such as Deputy Directors (DD), District Training Officers (DTO), Crop Production Specialists (CPS), Plant Protection Specialists (PPS), Horticulture Specialists (HS), Irrigation Specialists (IS), Upazila Agriculture Officers (UAO) and Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers (SAAO) of the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE). Subsequently, training modules, schedules, programs, materials and documents, reports, etc. related to different training and extension providing organizations in Bangladesh were reviewed to identify existing approaches and find gaps for improvement. After completing survey and review of related existing literature and training modules in Bangladesh, a workshop was organized at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council training hall to finalize the draft training module on CCA. This workshop has considered the survey findings and existing training programs in the country and has identified gaps that could be addressed by the interventions taken up as a part of this project. The findings from the workshop has helped in identifying ideal skill and knowledge requirements of various government functionaries and trainers in agriculture sector and to draft a generic training module which was later tailored to suit to different specific target groups within the agriculture department.

Keeping in view various natural disasters impacting Bangladesh, 25 districts were selected through selective random sampling from salinity, flood and water logging (locally known as hoar) and drought (locally known as Borendra) prone areas. Fifty (50) sub-districts (locally known as upazila) were then selected from these selected 25 districts for the study by taking two upazilas from each district. One hundred (100) Blocks were then further randomly selected from these se-lected 50 upazilas by taking two Blocks from each upazila. For better understand-ing, maps of Bangladesh showing various natural disaster prone areas are shown in Fig.1 to Fig.3.

One Deputy Director, one District Training Officer (DTO) and one Crop Produc-tion Specialist (CPS)/Plant Protection Specialists (PPS)/Horticulture Special-ists (HS)/Irrigation Specialists (IS) in each district were interviewed in the study. Seventy five (75) district level Officers were interviewed that include 25 DDs, 25 DTOs and 25 CPS/PPS/HS/ISs from 25 districts. There is one upazila Agri-culture Officer (UAO) in each upazila (sub-district). Thus, 50 upazila level Officers were interviewed from 50 selected upazilas. There are 15-60 block-level Sub-As-sistant Agriculture Officers (SAAO) in each upazila. Two SAAOs were randomly selected from each upazila. Thus, 100 SAAOs were interviewed for the study (two from each upazila). The developed training modules were discussed in a module writing workshop organized in Bangkok, Thailand.

Pilot testing of training modules (this project)The modules were subsequently pilot tested by prioritizing two training mod-ules: In-service training module on climate change adaptation for district and upazila (sub-district) level agriculture officers of DAE and in-service training module on climate change adaptation for Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers of DAE (Please see Annexure for training modules pilot tested).

Twenty trainees were trained in each pilot training program. Ten courses were discussed in the training. Pre- and post-training test evaluation was conducted by same questions. Fifty (50) objective type questions were set in the evaluation test with 3 to 4 alternative answers. Trainees were asked to choose the correct answer of the questions. One (1) score was given to each correct answer and Zero (0) was given for each wrong or no answer. Score of each individual trainee was determined by adding all the scores obtained by him/her against all the 50 questions. Same procedures were followed for pre- and post-training test. Thus, the possible range of score of pre- and post-training test was 0-50, where, 0 in-dicating very low knowledge and 50 indication very high knowledge on climate change adaptation. In addition to the score based evaluation, an opinion ques-tionnaire was administered to obtain opinion of trainees on the training program and if they would prefer any modifications in it in order to make it suitable to their terms of reference.

3. TRAINING EVALUATION RESULTS

3.1 District and sub-district agriculture officers of DAEThe pilot training for in-service district and sub-district agriculture officers of DAE was attended by 20 trainees (Table 1). The details of trainees are presented below. The training was conducted for three days (11-13 November, 2012) at the conference room of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka.

Findings in Table 2 revealed that half (50%) of the trainees had low knowledge and others had medium knowledge on climate change adaptation. None of the trainees had high knowledge on climate change adaptation. It shows that the knowledge of the trainees was comparatively lower before receiving of training on climate change adaptation vindicating the necessity to conduct training for the district and upazila Level Officers of Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) and Lecturer of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka.

Post-training test

The observed post-training test scores of trainees were ranged from 27-49 against the possible range of 0-50 with the mean and standard deviation of 40.1 and 4.87 respectively. The trainees were classified into two groups based on their post-training test scores as shown in Table 3.

Medium knowledgeable(27-37 Score)

6 3040.1 4.87

High knowledgeable(38-49 Score)

14 70

Total 20 100

Findings in Table 3 show that most (70%) of the trainees achieved high knowl-edge and 30% achieved medium knowledge on climate change adaptation. None of the trainees had low knowledge on climate change adaptation after receiving training. It is quite logical that the knowledge of the trainees were comparatively higher after receiving of training on climate change adaptation. Therefore, conducting training on climate change adaptation was essential for the district and upazila Level Officers of Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) and Lecturer of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka to increase their knowledge on the related issue.

Effectiveness of training

The effectiveness of training is the difference between post-training test and pre-training test scores. Differences between post-training test and pre-training test score of each trainee were computed by deduction of pre-training test score from post-training test score. It may be explained by the following formula:

D = B - A

Where, D =Differences between post- and pre-training scores

A = pre-training test score

B = post-training test score

The observed score of differences between post- and pre-training test scores of trainees were ranged from 8-24 with the mean and standard deviation of 15.2 and 4.72 respectively. The trainees were classified into three groups based on the differences of their scores between post- and pre-training test as shown in Table 4.

Table 4 shows that three-fourth (75%) of the trainees could increase their knowl-edge on climate change adaptation to high level and one-fourth (25%) of them could increase their knowledge at medium level. Therefore, it can be concluded that the training has helped in increasing the knowledge on climate change adaptation.

Performance of the trainees on the subject matter

Paired t-test was done with pre- and post-training scores of the trainees to determine the rate of increase of subject matter knowledge by the training. Findings revealed that the value of t was 14.403 with significance at 0.001 level of significance with 19 degree of freedom indicating that the training program has significantly influenced the knowledge of the trainees (Table 5). Similar findings were also observed in the study of Kabir et.al (1994), Baset et al. (1994) and Ali et al. (1999). The data indicated that the average score in pre-training evaluation was 24.9 and has increase to 40.1 in the post-training evaluation. Attempt was also made to find out the relationship between pre- and post-training evaluation test scores by running Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Correlation re-vealed that the value of ‘r’ was 0.452 which was significant at 0.05 level of signif-icance with 18 degree of freedom indicating a significant positive relationship between pre- and post-training evaluation test scores of the trainees (Table 5).

Evaluation of trainers

An evaluation sheet was supplied to the trainees to evaluate the performance of the trainers. Trainees were asked to evaluate the performance of the trainers with 5-point rating scale as ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘satisfactory’, ‘poor’ and ‘very poor’ by assigning scores as ‘5’, ‘4’, ‘3’, ‘2’ and ‘1’ respectively. The performance of trainers of each of 10 courses was evaluated by adding all the scores obtained from all 20 trainees. Thus, the possible score of performance of the trainers ranged between 20-100, where ‘20’ indicating very low performance and ‘100’ indicating highest performance. But the observed range was 74 – 91 with a mean of 84.8. Trainers were classified into two groups based on their performance evaluated by train-ees as shown in Table 6.

MOST PREFERRED TRAINING COURSES

With the aim of selecting trainers for the training on climate change adaptation for Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers of DAE (field Level training), trainees of the present course were asked to mention training topics most preferred by them. Out of 20 trainees, 15 replied regarding this issue by mentioning 1-5 training courses most preferred by them. Each citation was assigned as 1 score. A rank order was made on the descending order of the citation score to rate the likings of the training courses. For two training topics such as ‘water resource manage-ment in Bangladesh due to climate change’ and ‘livelihood adaptation to climate change in agriculture’, the citation number was same as 4. In this case the rank order might be 5 and 6, but scientifically, it was ranked as 5.5 for both the two courses. Similarly, another two courses such as ‘Community seed bed prepara-tion techniques for flood and drought prone areas of Bangladesh’ and ‘Gender discrimination in climate change shocks’ were ranked as 8.5 (Table 9).

Climate change impacts are increasing in Bangladesh and as a result effects of climate change may be increased. This might be the cause for desiring two-three times training on climate change adaptation.

OPINION ABOUT TRAINING FACILITIES

Opinion on the training facilities was obtained from trainees including on aspects such as TA and DA; food and lodging; use of training materials; environ-ment of training; and overall training facilities. Trainees were asked to rate on each of the training facilities with 5-point rating scale as ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘moder-ate’, ‘poor’ and ‘very poor’. Related findings are presented in Table 14.

Most (55%) of the trainees achieved medium knowledge and 45% of them achieved high knowledge on climate change adaptation. None of the trainees had low knowledge on climate change adaptation after receiving training indi-cating the high knowledge of trainees after receiving training on climate change adaptation. Therefore, conducting training on climate change adaptation was essential for the SAAOs of the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) to increase their knowledge on climate change adaptation.

Effectiveness of training

Difference between post- and pre-training test score of each trainee was con-sidered as training effectiveness and was computed by deduction pre-training test scores from post-training test scores. It may be explained by the following formula:

Table 18 state that majority (85%) of the trainees could increase their knowledge on climate change adaptation to high level and 15% of them to medium level. Therefore, it can be concluded that the training was successful in imparting knowledge on climate change adaptation to the local level functionaries.

Performance of the trainees on subject matter

Paired t-test was conducted with pre- and post-training scores of the trainees to determine the rate of increase of subject matter knowledge after the training. Findings revealed the value of t as 14.37 which was significant at 0.000 level of significance with 19 degree of freedom indicating that the training program has significantly influenced the trainees to increase their knowledge (Table 19). The data indicated that the average score in pre-training evaluation was 16.20 and it has increase to 35.35 in the post-training evaluation. Attempt was also made to find the relationship between pre- and post-training evaluation test scores by running Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Correlation revealed that the value of ‘r’ was 0.481 which was significant at 0.05 level of significance with 18 degree of freedom indicating a significant positive relationship between pre- and post-training evaluation test scores of the trainees. It again means that the trainee having more knowledge before receiving training could increase his/her knowledge at a higher rate by receiving the training and vice-versa (Table 19).

Evaluation of trainers

An evaluation sheet was supplied to the trainees to evaluate the performance of the trainers using 5-point rating scale ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘satisfactory’, ‘poor’ and ‘very poor’ by assigning scores as ‘5’, ‘4’, ‘3’, ‘2’ and ‘1’ respectively. The performance of trainers of each of 10 courses was evaluated by adding all the scores obtained by them form all the 20 trainees. The range of possible scores of performance could fall between 20-100, where ‘20’ indicating very low performance and ‘100’ indicating highest performance. The observed range was 75 – 92 with a mean of 84.0. Trainers were classified into two groups based on their performance evaluated by trainees as shown in Table 20. Findings revealed that most (70%) of the trainers were rated as excellent performance and 30% of them as good performance.

4. FINAL TRAINING MODULESAfter pilot testing of the training modules (original training modules are given in Annexure 1 and 2), the training modules were modified as per the feedback re-ceived from the post-training evaluation and the modified training modules are presented here. The modifications include duration of training, subject matter content and ratio of knowledge and skill areas.

4.1 Modifications Made to Training ModulesThe following modifications were made on the training modules based on the evaluation conducted and discussions among the evaluators and trainees:

1. Most of the trainees of the 1st training opined that 5-day training would be more beneficial and they suggested including 5 new topics in the CCA training. However, due to time and fund constraints, the final module was prepared for 4-day training after including new 5 topics (Ref: Duration and topics to be included in the training in evaluation of 1st training).

2. Most of the trainees of the 2ndtraining opined that 15-day training would be more beneficial and they suggested including 7 new topics in the CCA training. However, after revisiting these suggestions, the evaluation team concluded that all the suggested new topics were not related to CCA in agriculture sector. Taking this into consideration of time, resources and other constraints, the final module was prepared for a 4-day training after includ-ing 5 new topics (Ref: Duration and topics to be included in the training in evaluation of 2nd training).

3. In both the training modules, the newly included topics are i) Impacts of climate change on specific crops, ii) Pest management strategy for climate change adaptation, iii) Adoption of suitable crop varieties for climate change adaptation in agricultural sector, iv) Cultivation and post-harvest manage-ment of high value crops for climate change adaptation, and v) Disaster management in agriculture sector.

4. For both trainings, fifteen (15) topics were arranged in a logical sequence from more knowledge areas to skill areas.

5. In case of 1st training, selection of training topics on CCA for the SAAOs will be done by group discussion under the supervision of monitoring team and training coordinator.

6. In case of 2nd training, bottom-up planning for climate change adaptation to reduce losses will be done by group discussion under the supervision of monitoring team and training coordinator.

7. We found that for both training modules, the optimum number of trainees would be 25 which are also cost effective.

4.2 In-service Training Module for District and Upazila (Sub-District) Agriculture Officers of DAE

1. INTRODUCTION

Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) provides extension services for the farming community in Bangladesh. Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers (SAAOs) are the root level workers of DAE that directly cater to the farmers. Farmers of Bangladesh are regularly affected by various types of climatic and non-climatic impacts such as floods, droughts, salinity and water logging impacting farming. SAAOs are responsible to disseminate agricultural innovations to the farmers to reduce the loss of agricultural productivity. These SAAOs receive training from district and upazila (sub-district) level officers of DAE.

For the above reasons, it is necessary to provide training to the district and upa-zila level Officers of DAE so that they can in turn provide training to SAAOs. This module4has been developed to train the mid-level (district and upazila) officials such as DD, DTO, CPS, PPS, HS, IS, UAO, AAO and AEOs with an aim to introduce them to the concepts of climate change, its impacts on farming communities and the existing institutional and community based mechanisms for climate change adaptation.

2. TARGET GROUP

Crop Production Specialist (CPS) / Plant Protection Specialist (PPS) / Horticulture Specialist (HS) of District and Upazila Agriculture Officer (UAO) / Additional Agri-culture Officer (AAO) of upazila (sub-district) level of DAE from flood and drought prone areas.

Though this training module was prepared for agriculture extension staff, this module can be readily adopted for any organization that provides similar ser-vices to farming community.

1 The “Scientific Capacity Development of Trainers and Policy-Makers for Climate Change Adaptation Planning in Asia and the Pacific” project was taken as an initiative to prepare training module for developing capacity of trainers like district and upazila level officers of DAE of Bangladesh in collaboration with IGES, Japan and APAN, Bangkok.

12. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRAINING MODULE

Fifteen knowledge and skill areas were proposed for the 4-day training in this module. Detailed course content and delivery procedure should be developed by national level experts from DAE, different universities, research organizations under NARS and other relevant organizations. With these detailed course con-tent and delivery procedures laid out in this module, training will have to be conducted at DAE head office or Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhakaor Regional Stations of DAE for the mid-level (district and upazila) officers of DAE. These trained DAE officials will further train SAAOs. Selection of training topics on CCA for SAAOs will be done by group discussion under the supervision of monitoring team and training coordinator.

4.3 In-service Training Module for Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers of DAE

1. INTRODUCTION

Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) provides extension services for the farming community in Bangladesh. Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers (SAAOs) are the root level workers of DAE that directly cater to the farmers. Farmers of Bangladesh are regularly affected by various types of climatic and non-climatic impacts such as floods, droughts, salinity and water logging impacting farming. SAAOs are responsible to disseminate agricultural innovations to the farmers to reduce the loss of agricultural productivity. These SAAOs receive training from district and upazila (sub-district) level Officers of DAE.

SAAOs are responsible to disseminate agricultural innovations to the farmers. For this reasons, it is necessary to provide training to the SAAOs so that they can fur-ther help farmers (the ultimate benefactors of the training program). SAAOs can further provide training to the farmers as facilitators. This module can facilitate providing training to the SAAOs at village level aiming to introduce them with the concepts of climate change, its impacts on farming communities and the existing institutional and community based mechanisms for CCA.

2. TARGET GROUP

SAAOs of DAE from flood and drought prone areas

3. ENTRY BEHAVIOUR

Age: 25-59 years

Educational Background: 4 years Agricultural Diploma from Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) after passing 10 years Secondary School Certificate examination.

Level of knowledge and skill on the training module being conducted: The SAAOs have little knowledge and skills on CCA and have good knowledge and skill on agriculture in general.

Expected skill and knowledge levels of the trainer/trainees before entering into the module: SAAOs of DAE will be the main trainers to provide training to

the farmers. First, the SAAOs should be trained by the upazila (sub-district) and district level officials having at least Bachelor of Agricultural Science (B.Sc. Ag.) degree. At this stage, SAAOs having working experience of at least 5 years should be selected. When the SAAOs will act as trainers to train the farmers, the module should be translated into Bengali.

4. GOAL AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

GOAL: Capacity building of SAAOs as trainers for climate change adaptation planning.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After receiving training, the SAAOs will be able to:

• Explain various concepts of climate change adaptation (CCA)

• Identify new cropping strategies for climate change adaptation

• Create awareness among the farmers to minimize their agricultural losses

• Create awareness among the rural poor on CCA

• Provide training to the rural poor on specific aspects of CCA

5. IMPLEMENTATION MODALITIES

Number of Batches for Training: One hundred twenty eight (128) batches

in 64 districts of Bangladesh, i.e. two (2) in each district.

tion Specialists (CPS), Plant Protection Specialists (PPS), Horticulture Specialists

(HS), Upazila Agriculture Officers (UAO), Additional Agricultural Officers (AAO)

having CCA training.

Trainees: Twenty five (25) SAAOs for each batch

Duration of training: Four (4) days

Collaboration with other organization: The training will be conducted at

ANNEX: TRAINING MODULES PRIOR TO PILOT TESTING

Annex I: In-service Training Module for District and Upazila (Sub-District) Agriculture Officers of DAE

1. INTRODUCTION

Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) is the largest extension provider for the agricultural farming community in Bangladesh. Sub-Assistant Agriculture Of-ficers (SAAOs) are the root level workers of DAE. They work for the betterment of farmers. Rural farmers of Bangladesh are very much shocked by various types of climate change. Farmers of Bangladesh are generally faced water logging, flood, drought, salinity, etc. for their farming activities. As a result, agricultural produc-tivity is reduced. SAAOs are responsible to disseminate agricultural innovations to the farmers to reduce the losses of agricultural productivity. These SAAOs receive training from district and upazila (sub-district) level Officers of DAE.

For the above reasons, it is necessary to provide training to the district and upazi-la level Officers of DAE so that they can provide training to the SAAOs. On these considerations, “Scientific Capacity Development of Trainers and Policy-Makers for Climate Change Adaptation Planning in Asia and the Pacific” project has taken an initiative to prepare training module for developing capacity of Trainers such as district and upazila level Officers of DAE of Bangladesh. This module can facilitate to train the mid-level (district and upazila) officials such as DD, DTO, CPS, PPS, HS, IS, UAO, AAO and AEOs aiming to introduce them with the con-cepts of climate change, its impacts on agricultural farming communities and the existing institutional and community based mechanisms for climate change adaptation.

2. TARGET GROUP

Crop Production Specialist (CPS) / Plant Protection Specialist (PPS) / Horticulture Specialist (HS) of district Level and Upazila Agriculture Officer (UAO) / Additional Agriculture Officer (AAO) of Upazila (sub-district) level of DAE from flood and drought prone area

3. ENTRY BEHAVIOUR

Age: 27-59 years

Educational Background: 4 years B. Sc. Ag. (Hons.) Degree from any Agricultural University

Level of knowledge and skill on the training module being conducted: There are limited meteorological courses in B. Sc. Ag. (Hons.) degree in the Agricultural Universities of Bangladesh. So, upazila and district level Agricultural Officers of DAE have little knowledge and skill on climate change adaptation, but they have knowledge and skill on agricultural farming activity.

Expected skill and knowledge levels of the trainer/trainees before entering into the module: In this phase, district and upazila level officials of DAE having at least

Annex II: In-service Training Module for Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers of DAE

1. INTRODUCTION

Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) is the largest extension provider for the agricultural farming community in Bangladesh. Sub-Assistant Agriculture Of-ficers (SAAOs) are the root level workers of DAE. They work for the betterment of farmers. Rural farmers of Bangladesh are very much affected by various types of climate change. Farmers of Bangladesh are generally faced water logging, flood, drought, salinity, etc. for their farming activities. As a result, agricultural produc-tivity is reduced.

SAAOs are responsible to disseminate agricultural innovations to the farmers to reduce the losses of agricultural productivity. For this reasons, it is necessary to provide training to the SAAOs so that they make themselves able to help the farmers to reduce their agricultural losses. SAAOs can further provide training to the farmers as facilitators. On these considerations, “Scientific Capacity Develop-ment of Trainers and Policy-Makers for climate change adaptation Planning in Asia and the Pacific” project has taken an initiative to prepare training module for developing capacity of Trainers such as SAAOs of Bangladesh.

This module can facilitate to provide training to the SAAOs at root level aiming to introduce them with the concepts of climate change, its impacts on agricul-tural farming communities and the existing institutional and community based mechanisms for CCA.

2. TARGET GROUP

SAAOs of DAE from flood and drought prone area

3. ENTRY BEHAVIOUR

Age: 25-59 years

Educational Background: 4 years Agricultural Diploma from Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) after passing 10 years Secondary School Certificate examination

Level of knowledge and skill on the training module being conducted: The SAAOs have little knowledge and skill on CCA and have good knowledge and skill on agriculture in general.

Expected skill and knowledge levels of the trainer/trainees before entering into the module: SAAOs of DAE will be the main trainers to provide training to the farmers. First, the SAAOs should be trained by the upazila (sub-district) and district Level officials having at least Bachelor of Agricultural Science (B.Sc. Ag.) degree. At this stage, SAAOs having working experience of at least 5 years should be selected. When the SAAOs will act as trainers to train the farmers, the module should be translated into Bengali.
