Since its formation in 1991 Boat has followed its ethos of “training the trainers” and has now provided training to more than one hundred key trainers coming from several countries within the Developing World.  2008 saw our first in country workshops delivered to 24 trainers from seven Tanzanian institutes in Tanzania. This exciting development was requested by the Ministry for Livestock and Water with a view to replicating the success there had been through the link between Boat and Tengeru Training Institute in Arusha. We now look forward to delivering the 2009 program to six trainers from Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to be held at Bicton College in East Devon, England from April the 20th to June 3rd.
