IRD conducted a training course in Banda Aceh in May 2006, representing the first initiative to train local Indonesian Master Trainers (MT) on AI. This course provided local participants with detailed knowledge and specialized materials which they can base their further teaching activities as MTs. The next phase of the trainings will enable the MTs to teach local communities about AI, thereby multiplying the impact and reaching more individuals. A network of trainers will be formed. On average each MT will oversee the work of 20 to 30 FTs and provide supportive supervision to them.

The tsunami that followed the 2004 undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean northwest of the Indonesian island of Sumatra devastated most parts of Aceh and Nias. The disaster also killed more than 200,000 people and caused displacement and food security problems for the survivors. This project will help rebuild livelihoods for fishermen and small-scale farmers. The project will also promote community-based natural resources management and provide training for 1,500 families in sustainable farming and animal husbandry management.
