This learning module is part of a
broader joint effort of international agencies, experts and practitioners to
develop a curriculum on "Agricultural Risk Assessment and Management for
Food Security in Developing Countries". A curriculum outline was developed
after a broad consultation led by IFAD and FAO in Rome in July 2015, and the
Platform for Agricultural Risk Management (PARM/IFAD) has supported the
development of this module that corresponds with module 3 of the curriculum1 .
Objectives: The main objective of this course module is to familiarize the
learner with a vast array of tools potentially applicable for agricultural risk
management by providing the basic knowledge of each with respect to their
content, pros and cons, and suitability in given specific risk situations.
Target Audience: Based on the type of functions performed and the level of
involvement at the micro, meso and macro levels of the principal stakeholders,
a potential target audience for this informative technical e-learning course is
mostly policy makers dealing with risk program development and implementation.
There is a need for government participation as they are likely to play an
important role in a broader strategy involved in tools such as CSA, non-farm
diversification, assets based strategies, contract farming, food grain
reserves, disaster assistance programs, social protection, safety nets, etc.
