It is against this background that as part of the capacity development of Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS) initiative, the African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS) is partnering with the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in identifying training topics, design courses and organize marketing and delivery mechanism by utilizing the Agricultural Massive Open Online Courses (AgMOOCs) to equip extension workers with skills through online and e-learning tools. This is also responding, on how best AEAS can adapt in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has negatively affected extension work globally and other emerging food systems demands.
