The World Bank, through its Agricultural Risk Management Team (ARMT), launched a two-day technical training on how to conduct an agriculture sector risk assessment on May 20, 2015, in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Participants in the training came mainly from the Ministries of Agriculture, with representatives from seven Sub-Saharan African countries (Burkina Faso, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Rwanda, and Tanzania). The participants over the course of the training learned the conceptual framework and tools for undertaking agricultural risk assessments, and acquired skills to identify, prioritize, and manage agricultural risks.
