Indonesia - Decentralized Agricultural and Forestry Extension Project
Demery, Lionel | Grootaert, Christiaan
The Decentralized Agricultural and Forestry Extension Project aims to assist Indonesia in enhancing farmers' capacity to participate in extension activities and in strengthening the capacity of the district-level integrated agricultural and forestry extension system, which will promote economically feasible, environmentally sustainable, and socially acceptable farming practices and increased farmers' income. There are three project components. The first revitalizes farmer groups and the organization of farmer networks; builds capacity of farmers to participate in and to lead extension activities; and promotes participatory extension methods and provides media and technology support. The second component extends the introduction of institutional and management reforms at the district level; builds the capacity of extension staff in the participating districts; and strengthens the extension support and delivery systems in participating districts. The third component improves the extension policy, conducts special studies, strengthens central extension support systems including degree and non-degree training, and provides technical assistance and project management support.
