FeaturesThe courses are modular. Learners can take a specific lesson whenever they need and complete it at their own pace.

The courses are designed using a learner-centred approach, and are rich in examples, scenarios, best-practices and interactive features.

E-Learning CoursesThe EU-FAO Improved Global Governance for Hunger Reduction programme has been developing a series of extensive self-paced e-learning courses which are delivered free of charge on CD and over the internet at www.fao.org/elearning. The e-learning courses aim at supporting capacity development and on-the-job training of professionals at the national and international level.

The programme has created a rich offering of multilingual e-learning courses covering areas such as food and nutrition security, the governance of tenure, climate change, gender equality, social and economic development.

EU-FAO partnership has sustained the development and dissemination of e-learning by FAO to meet the needs of food security and agricultural professionals world-wide. The EU-FAO partnership is supporting the development of the FAO e-learning interface used for all of FAO’s e-learning courses, and in the migration towards newer technologies. 80% of the courses available on the FAO e-learning centre have been developed through the EU-FAO partnership. All courses developed with EU support are noted with the EU logo.

The e-learning courses are freely available as a global public good at: www.fao.org/elearning.

Eu-fao courses have reached over 190,000 learners since the launch of the first course in 2005.

Our learnersE-learning courses can meet the needs of both novice and experienced professionals.

They include staff from national and international NGOs, national governments, university students and researchers, UN field staff, individuals from the private sector.

What learners are saying

Learners come from around the globe

“I have received the link from many sources, ... it is generating a lot of interest”“...the technical detail was very helpful to me, as I am sure it will be to lots of people.”“It’s worth a look just to see if your own training materials on these topics cover the ground in such a practical way...”“...it was a perfect solid basis for introducing technical issues in an accessible way.”“It is the most fantastic system for reaching large numbers of people. The materials are great and as they are already reviewed before dissemination it makes for a good case for integrating them into our formal programmes and short courses.”

Leveraging e-learning resources in partnershipsLeveraging courses through blended learning programmes

The IGGHR Programme has supported ASEAN, COMESA and ECOWAS with the e-learning courses in developing the capacities of food security professionals, in their member states, through blended learning programmes.

Multi-stakeholder learning programmes based on the IGGHR e-learning courses are being delivered in 5 countries to support and improve the uptake of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure.

Sharing courses with development partners and universitiesThe collaboration between FAO IGHRR and European Commission DG Development and Cooperation (DEVCO) provided the model for working with other development agencies. A selection of the EU-FAO courses have been available to DEVCO and EU Delegation staff worldwide since 2008. This model of sharing has been replicated in several instances:

9 The courses are now also available on WFP, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNITAR, ITC-ILO, UNFCCC and IICA learning systems for staff training. 9 FAO shares its courses via the Learn4Dev network. 9 NGOs have access to the courses through Learning in NGOs (LINGOs). The International Federation of Red Cross are using the courses to develop the skills of staff and volunteers.

9 Courses are integrated into university curricula and distributed through university consortia.
