| dc.description | The paper presents the results of two years of field experimentation
in the Tetu SRDP Extension Pilot Project. It thus briefly describes some of
the results obtained, the objectives, the problem to which the tested strategy
addresses itself, the step-by-step description of the strategy in how-to-do-it
fashion and the benefits to be expected.
The strategy aims at accelerating the inflow of food-, employment-, and
income generating agricultural innovations to less-progressive farmers in smallholder
areas, through integrating the services provided by extension field
workers, the FTC (training), the AFC (credit) and the stockist or Cooperative
Union (inputs).
The project has achieved its aims except in one respect: the repayment
ratio for the unsecured crop loan sofar obtained (78%) is still too low to
warrant mass replication. Continued experimentation will focus on that problem. | |
