Dear Moderator,
I am submitting one of the BRAC's "Community Based Extension Service Providers for farmers" model for ensuring extension services at the community level. BRAC has developed community promoters in different countries in Asia and Africa. With decades of experience strengthening livelihoods and reducing poverty in rural communities, BRAC International understands the challenges farmers face and recognises their huge untapped potential. Its Agriculture, food Security and Livelihood programmes tackle these challenges holistically by catalyzing and creating access to quality inputs and finance and extension services, developing entrepreneurs to widen services, promoting effective farming techniques and proven technology, and facilitate the development of pro-poor agriculture markets.
Head of Food Security and Livelihood, BRAC International
Mr. Mahabur Rahman
