This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Uganda, agricultural extension has been hotly debated since the implementation of the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) program in 2001. Conceived as a demand-driven approach and largely publicly-funded with services provided by the private sector, the NAADS program targets the development and use of farmer institutions. It is a key strategy in the government’s poverty reduction and national development plan. Due to methodological challenges arising from the complex ways that many factors influence the relationship between extension inputs and outcomes, as well as data-quality issues, the effectiveness of agricultural extension in raising agricultural productivity and incomes and reducing poverty is often viewed with skepticism among policymakers and development practitioners. The NAADS program has been no exception. Some initial evaluations, mostly qualitative in nature, indicate the program has had a favorable effect on increasing the use of improved technologies, marketed output, and wealth status of farmers receiving services from the program. However, the program does not appear to be promoting improved soil-fertility management, raising concern about the sustainability of potential productivity increases. Now that the first phase of the program has ended, this study rigorously assess the outcomes and impacts obtained thus far, in order to help inform the current second phase and offer lessons for others implementing or planning to implement demand-driven agricultural advisory services in developing countries. The findings presented here are useful to policymakers of central and local governments, farmer groups, advisory service providers, donors, and others seeking to improve agricultural extension services in Uganda and elsewhere. Program evaluators and policy analysts will find the methods instructive.

Book Synopsis Development Policies and Policy Processes in Africa by : Christian Henning
Download or read book Development Policies and Policy Processes in Africa written by Christian Henning and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. The book examines the methodological challenges in analyzing the effectiveness of development policies. It presents a selection of tools and methodologies that can help tackle the complexities of which policies work best and why, and how they can be implemented effectively given the political and economic framework conditions of a country. The contributions in this book offer a continuation of the ongoing evidence-based debate on the role of agriculture and participatory policy processes in reducing poverty. They develop and apply quantitative political economy approaches by integrating quantitative models of political decision-making into existing economic modeling tools, allowing a more comprehensive growth-poverty analysis. The book addresses not only scholars who use quantitative policy modeling and evaluation techniques in their empirical or theoretical research, but also technical experts, including policy makers and analysts from stakeholder organizations, involved in formulating and implementing policies to reduce poverty and to increase economic and social well-being in African countries.

Download or read book Experiences, Innovations and Issues in Agricultural Extension in Uganda written by Margaret Najjingo Mangheni and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural extensions systems were introduced in Uganda by the colonial administration, in the early twentieth century. It has been a key part of Uganda¿s agricultural development strategy, albeit with changes and innovations in approaches, institutional arrangements, methods, and strategies. There has been a dearth documented information on the subject, and this study now provides a systematic documentation and analysis of these changes and innovations, with a view to drawing lessons to inform theory and practice, and to avoid repetition of past mistakes. The book is organised in three parts: Uganda¿s Experiences with a Privatised contract Farmer-owned Extention Approach; Innovative Extension Methodologies; and Training and Capacity Development for Innovation and Reform in Agricultural Extension. Margaret Najjingo Mangheni is a senior lecturer in the Department of Agricultural Extension/Education at Makerere University. The contributors to the book have served in agricultural extension education as educators, managers and field practitioners, in Uganda and elsewhere.

Book Synopsis Agricultural Education and Empowerment of Subsistence Farmers by : Mugoya Paul David B W

This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored agricultural education under the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) programme in Uganda. It was critical since about 80% of the population depend on agriculture for livelihood, so improving this economic activity deserved attention. Since 2001, the NAADS programme was started to empower farmers to demand for advisory services and adopt modern farming techniques. The study sought to understand how and whether subsistence farmers were empowered using the adult education principles. Being qualitative, the study used in-depth interviews, observations and documentary sources. Findings were that agricultural education followed a top-down approach with no active involvement of farmers at the programme formulation design. Though some subsistence farmers exhibited good results, many were not empowered. Since the principles of adult education were largely ignored, subsistence farmers did not improve their productivity and farming systems and so, their livelihoods were not transformed.

Book Synopsis Agricultural extension: Global status and performance in selected countries by : Davis, Kristin E., ed.
Download or read book Agricultural extension: Global status and performance in selected countries written by Davis, Kristin E., ed. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural transformation and development are critical to the livelihoods of more than a billion small-scale farmers and other rural people in developing countries. Extension and advisory services play an important role in such transformation and can assist farmers with advice and information, brokering and facilitating innovations and relationships, and dealing with risks and disasters. Agricultural Extension: Global Status and Performance in Selected Countries provides a global overview of agricultural extension and advisory services, assesses and compares extension systems at the national and regional levels, examines the performance of extension approaches in a selected set of country cases, and shares lessons and policy insights. Drawing on both primary and secondary data, the book contributes to the literature on extension by applying a common and comprehensive framework — the “best-fit” approach — to assessments of extension systems, which allows for comparison across cases and geographies. Insights from the research support reforms — in governance, capacity, management, and advisory methods — to improve outcomes, enhance financial sustainability, and achieve greater scale. Agricultural Extension should be a valuable resource for policymakers, extension practitioners, and others concerned with agricultural development.
Book Synopsis Learning to make change by : Paul Kibwika
Download or read book Learning to make change written by Paul Kibwika and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universities represent the highest level of education, yet they are notoriously slow in responding to a rapidly changing world. Deeply entrenched elitism and routines, a continued emphasis on reproductive learning, and the continued dominance of disciplinary thinking, have, in many instances, created bastions of educational conservatism, unable to contribute meaningfully to the development of people, businesses and communities within a finite global ecosystem. This book focuses on an African university's efforts to become more innovative and responsive to community needs and the challenges posed by sustainability. A central concept is innovation competence as a pre-requisite for transforming learning, research and consultancy. Making change in society requires innovation competences over and above disciplinary expertise and these competences have to be learnt by both staff and students. Kibwika not only shows that it is imperative that African universities re-orient their programmes to produce graduates capable of enhancing innovation and social change in the community, he also provides a number of solid stepping stones for capacity building and curriculum development that, in time, will result in an innovative university able to contribute to a world that is more sustainable than the one currently in prospect.
Book Synopsis Participants Or Spectators? by : Bruno Onzima
Download or read book Participants Or Spectators? written by Bruno Onzima and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local participation & empowerment are central features of the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) in Uganda. A few years into the introduction of a program to transform the lives of the rural poor, the author undertook a study (in 2003) to examine whether there is real or pseudo participation. The study focused on farmers' participation in decision-making; participation in financial affairs, knowledge of rights and obligations, consultation, communication, transparency & accountability. Questionnaires, interviews, discussions and observation were used to get quantitative & qualitative data. A sample of 60 respondents was interviewed. Findings reveal that despite general satisfaction with leaders' performance, there are no measures to check performance, leaders only involve farmers in communal work with decisions imposed from above. Project implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as participation in financial affairs stop at the farmers receiving feedback. Consultation is inadequate, communication channels are poor and there are no mechanisms to ensure accountability. Local initiatives, knowledge and technology as well as training & political will are basic.
