The TFTF team gave four workshops in the Southwest, at Buea, Ekondo Titi, Kumba and Bangem, one training in the West at Bafang, and one in the Northwest in Bamenda. Each workshop given included technical support and networking tips, and participating NGOs presented the details of their tree-planting projects. The NGO management workshop led by Mr. Nkembi gave NGO leaders critical insight into the knowledge and skills needed for the successful creation of local and region-wide collaboration on building an agroforestry network throughout the three provinces. The tree nursery management and transplanting workshop discussed low-cost tree-planting techniques and was enhanced by hands-on practicals in the field.

Two outstanding agroforestry training centers in the Northwest Province have offered their facilities and expertise for future trainings and their seed banks for seed purchasing and dispersal for the Cameroon Program. The Twahntoh Mixed Farming Group (MIFACIG, picture on the left) focuses on sustainable management of natural resources for poverty alleviation through training farmers on diversified agroforestry activities such as grafting, marcotting, vegetative propagation. They have eight seed banks which include staple agroforestry species such as Grevillea robusta and Calliandra calothyrsus. The center also runs a piggery and a beekeeping operation.

Riba is a 12-year-old agroforestry training center (right picture) that attempts to improve food security and decrease poverty through environmental education and other icome-generating activities. Trainings are offered in bee keeping and commercial gardening to support rural livelihoods. The center trains about 300 farmers each year. In addition to growing typical agroforestry tree species, they also promote potato seed, mushroom and wheat production. They are currently collaborating with a German group to develop Jatropha curcas for biofuel production.
