Abstract

A participatory testing process was used in the project “Rural Urban Cooperation on Water Management in the Context of Climate Change in Burkina Faso.” It aimed to facilitate farmers’ access to technological innovations that would enhance resilience in their agricultural production system. This bulletin reviews the process of farmer inputs into decision making. A learning-through-testing process takes place in collective field schools, whose installation, management, and monitoring and evaluation are supported by members of the monitoring and evaluation committee (MEC).
