How does the Farmer-to-Farmer
Program Work?
|
|
The USAID John Ogonowski Farmer-to-Farmer Program is
an all expense paid, 2-4 week volunteer assignment in one of
the following countries in Central America: Nicaragua, El
Salvador, Honduras
and Guatemala.
Volunteers share their expertise with farmer organizations,
agribusinesses and other domestic, regional and international trade
support organizations in each of the countries. Farmer-to-Farmer
specialists volunteer their time and expertise, while the program
covers all travel, lodging, meals and incidental expenses.

Winrock International and Florida
International University staff recruit volunteers through
databases, conferences, and alliances. Once accepted for one of our
assignments, Winrock proceeds to coordinate travel arrangements for
the volunteer. Volunteers donate their time and expertise for
assignments that are 2 to 4 weeks in length, while the program
covers all travel, lodging, meals and incidental expenses.
Before returning home, volunteers write an end of
assignment report that provides an overview of the work they have
completed and any additional recommendations for the local host
organizations.
