| description | Executive Summary:
During 2025, the Science and Scaling for Impact Program (S4I) implemented a capacity development strategy to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras. The strategy combined hands-on field training, demonstration modules, extension areas, and digital tools, using participatory methodologies aimed at strengthening evidence-based decision-making at the territorial level. In 2025, 78,602 farmers in Mexico and Guatemala were trained through short courses covering technical and socio-development topics prioritized according to local needs. In Quintana Roo, an additional 40 community leaders were trained through a hybrid, gamified course supported by WhatsApp-based follow-up. As part of the digital component, micro-courses were delivered via WhatsApp, resulting in 243 people completing at least one online course (43% women). Capacity was also strengthened among key actors supporting technical advisory services: 15 trainers were trained in Oaxaca (6 hours), and 30 change agents completed their training process in Quintana Roo. Within the certification component, the Sustainable Agriculture Certified Technician program (TC-AS) graduated 40 technicians in 2025: 13 in Guatemala, 6 in Honduras, 13 in GRUMA, and 8 in Heineken Mexico, consolidating a network of technicians with the skills to promote sustainable innovations and support scaling efforts in strategic territories. |
