TY - JOUR T1 - The Dinderesso Forestry School: Case study of extension forestry training in Burkina Faso JF - Rural Africana Y1 - 1985 A1 - Robert T. Winterbottom A1 - Peter E. Linehan KW - agroforestry KW - education KW - fuelwood KW - soils AB - This paper discusses the evolution of the training program at the National Forestry School of Burkina Faso and the development of a new curriculum with increased emphasis on practical training in extension forestry techniques. In retrospect, the experience gained at Dinderesso over these four years and that from other comparable forestry schools in the Sahel clearly justify a significant effort to upgrade and reorient the training of forest service field agents, in order better to prepare them to meet the challenges of environmental conservation and natural resource management in the Sahel.
