In August 2004, the DFOs, DFEOs, and the Project management staff at HQs were trained on Farmer Field School training of trainers for two (2) weeks at KEFRI Kitui Regional Research Centre. The course was coordinated by T. K. Mutinda who is the Eastern Kenya FFS Coordinator assisted by other FFS facilitators from the Ministry of Agriculture Kitui. The course was done as a follow up to the FFS exposure tour to Kilifi, which had been done earlier in June 2004. Twenty-five (25) participants mainly DFEOs (16); DFOs (2); ADFO (1); KEFRI Kitui officers (3) and project management officers from HQs (3) were trained.
