| Abstract: |
| This agroforestry extension assessment study was conducted as part of the baseline study undertaken
to support programmes implemented in the Agroforestry and Forestry in Sulawesi: Linking
Knowledge with Action project (the ‘AgFor project’), which is funded by the Canadian International
Development Agency (CIDA). The objectives of this study were to list and analyse existing
agroforestry extension practices that have been implemented at community level, and to list
community needs for potential agroforestry extension services that could be implemented under the
AgFor project. Focus group discussions at community level were held to collect information on types
of priority species in local livelihoods, existing and potential extension activities, demonstration plots,
cross-visit programmes, needs for marketing training, gender preferences regarding extension
programmes, and the potential media communications used in extension activities. The results of this
baseline survey were useful for designing and implementing the extension activities in the AgFor
project. |
