SUMMARY:Capacity Building Workshop for DAE Extension Personnel on Scaling S
 olar Irrigation in Bangladesh
DESCRIPTION:A capacity building workshop was held in Jashore\, Bangladesh f
 or the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) personnel on scaling sol
 ar irrigation. DAE's own agriculture engineers and its project director (S
 olar) led the technical sessions. They covered solar panel and pump types\
 , system selection and installation\, operation and maintenance\, irrigati
 on system design\, water-saving technologies such as alternate wetting and
  drying (AWD)\, and inclusive solar irrigation. Participants worked in six
  groups to identify local obstacles to scaling up\, such as access to fina
 nce\, technician availability and farmer awareness. They also visited two 
 operating solar irrigation sites\, at Churamonkati in Jashore Sadar and at
  Tularampur in Narail Sadar\, and talked with farmers\, landowners and pum
 p operators. Evaluations before and after the training measured what parti
 cipants learned.\n\nThe report finds that classroom sessions combined with
  field learning\, group problem analysis and DAE's own trainers improved p
 ractical understanding and gave DAE ownership of the training. The group f
 indings will be compiled into an issue brief for DAE to inform future plan
 s for putting solar irrigation in place.\n\nYou can read the full report h
