The Institute hosted an auction to dispose some of its excess livestock herd. The livestock that were auctioned include both the large stock (cattle) and small stock (goats and sheep). The intention of the Institute to dispose the livestock is to ensure that the farm is restocked with new herds of goats, cattle and sheep breeds that are suitable for the surrounding environmental conditions. Moreover, the Institute through is striving towards strengthening the academic programmes by provisioning healthy livestock herds.
The Institute held a meeting towards the end of November 2021 with the three former graduates of the Fort Cox Agriculture and Forestry Training Institute to discuss the process of establishing convocation structure. Considering that the meeting attendance was poor, the attendees resolved that the new date in 2022 should be arranged for the Alumni initial meeting to discuss the establishment process of the structure. It was further agreed that the Institute will send the first draft of the Alumni or convocation policies for the comments and inputs.
In the first quarter of 2020 academic year, the academic fraternity has been marred by the spread of Covid-19 pandemic and as a result, the institutions of higher learning were compelled to adapt new teaching and learning approaches in order to continue operating effectively and efficiently without compromising the quality of education and training or else cease to operate or be rendered obsolete. In the process, FCAFTI adopted virtual approaches that ensured the Institute continued to deliver the academic programme effectively.
