About Kucheza
Kucheza’s game-based learning approach to improving entrepreneurship among farmers and youth in developing countries is a powerful training tool box. Through playful, participative learning and the use of digital training games, it creates awareness, transfers knowledge and develops skills for entrepreneurship.
Kucheza’s digital training game Farming Forward, with the active support of an experienced trainer, allows trainees to understand and apply the relation between agronomy and economics, business management principles, and models for cooperation. In the game, players take the role of a farmer entrepreneur who has to grow his or her farm and income. By playing the game, farmers can experience the short term and long-term outcomes of their behaviour in a risk-free environment that mimics their own context.
Kucheza’s game-based learning approach is based on the Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) methodology of the International Labour Organization. SIYB is an entrepreneurship training programme tailored to the needs of small scale entrepreneurs in developing countries. Since the late 1970’s the SIYB programme has been followed by 65,000 trainers and used to train 15 million entrepreneurs in 100 countries.
Kucheza now offers an open registration programme that is accessible to individual trainers and organizations that are interested in using the game-based learning approach in their interactions with farmers and youth.
