Posted by: 
Beatriz Yanga

This Common Framework on Agricultural Extension is a product of an informal group of representatives of bilateral and multilateral cooperation agencies and institutions from Sub-Saharan Africa countries that are involved in agricultural development.

It was published under the Neuchatel Initiative – a group composed of representatives from Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation in Neuchatel, GTZ, USAID, DfID, Danida, MAE, Sida, DGIS, FAO, IFAD, ECC/DGVIII, CTA, and the World Bank. The initiative seeks to establish a basis for better applying various case studies and joint reflections in extension practice.

There are three main topics covered in this publication: The environment of agricultural extension is changing; A new approach to extension is needed; and Proposed commitments by co-operation agencies.

For more details about the contents of the publication, visit the Knowledge Resource Center Agricultural Training Institute in Diliman, Quezon City from 8:00-5:00 during Mondays to Fridays, except holidays.
