ABSTRACT
This Occasional Paper presents the findings of a global review of farm management extension services. The review was conducted
regionally in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific region as
well as transitional countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
and is composed of country studies and regional syntheses. Some 50
studies were commissioned regionally. The aim of the review was to
provide insight into the provision of farm management extension
services to farmers. The specific intentions were to: (i) assess the
current status of farm management training and extension
programmes; (ii) identify constraints and issues; (iii) review the
performance and impact; and (iv) propose recommendations for the
improved provision of farm management extension advice. The
information provided by the commissioned case studies was
supplemented by the findings of a broader literature review, expert
consultations and field project experience. |
