Structure and Activities

The Field Alliance supports and builds upon activities similar to those that were supported by the Regional IPM program. Those activities include: the development and application of farmer educational approaches such as the Farmers Field School, community planning, farmer action research, participatory pesticide surveillance studies, local and international advocacy, farmer based information and evaluation systems, and environmental education in rural schools. 

Relationships developed over twenty years will be continued and expanded, including those with:

The Field Alliance consists of a Regional Group, National Partners, and Collaborating Organisations.  

The National Partners are either new NGOs established to play a role similar to The Field Alliance at a country level or existing national NGOs that share the vision of the Field Alliance and have previously implemented IPM training programmes (see the Partners page for more information).  National partners will manage activities in cooperation with a wide range of collaborating organisations, such as community groups, farmers associations, NGOs, local and national government.

The Regional Group provides support to National Partners, and to collaborating organisations in countries where a National Partner does not exist. This support include training services, technical backstopping, information-sharing, advocacy and resource mobilization. The Regional Group will also manage funds  for larger projects that involve activities in more than one country. Regional staff are located with National Partners, thus enhancing the relevance and reducing the costs of the Regional Group.
