The members of the ELC have about a decade of experience with GALS in Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA) and bulking, value addition and marketing of crops and products made of beans and cassava. NAFA has interacted with many different stakeholders from public and private sector over the years and has a dedicated group of champions.
The purposes of the ELC are:
• To empower women, men and youth to address gender injustice at the household and rural community levels through training, peer sharing and role plays;
• To provide training, support and outreach to outsiders who want to learn the GALS methodology;

The services provided by Nafa ELC are:
• Hosting local, National and international learners on GALS Methodology at the ELC.
• Train households, community members, Community base Organizations (CBOs), NGOs, Small and medium entrepreneurs (SME), INGOs, IFAD partners, local Government staff and also provide out reaches on GALS through champions base on demand from the clients.
• Peer to peer replication is happening by those who are trained by the champions. This is a result of the changes in gender relations and livelihoods that other community members can see. Peer replication is taking place within the households, extended families, friends groups and in-laws.
