ANAFE collaborates with ICRAF’s regional programmes to link research with education and training.

ANAFE also collaborates with several regional and development organizations on education, training and research as well as providing human resources to form a pool of trainers. These include the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA), the Southern African Center for Cooperation in Agriculture and Natural Resources Research and Training (SACCAR), and the West African Council for Agriculture, Research and Development (CORAF).

ANAFE aims to bring the educator closer to the farmer by linking training and education with extension experience through various NGOs, extension systems and farmers’ organizations.
