In 2021, strengthening the Resilience and Livelihoods of Vulnerable Smallholder Farmers to Climate-Related Risks in Sri Lanka. Funded by the Chinese government, this joint South-South Cooperation Country Pilot Project (CPP) in Sri Lanka aims to strengthen the resilience of the smallholder farmers who grow rice and maize in Sri Lanka's Monaragala and Anuradhapura districts, leveraging the expertise from Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Science (JAAS), WFP China COE's partner.
As for Phase Two of the in-country project, JAAS made video courses on Rice Quality Assurance, Whole Process Mechanization of Rice and Maize Production, and Social Services in Agriculture and Market Opportunities and Linkage, in addition to participating an online workshop jointly held by WFP China COE and Sri Lanka CO, aiming to strengthen local farming technicians' knowledge in the training of the trainers (TOT).
