Subgroup: Extension and Rural Education -- This Farmer-to Farmer project draws directly from the high-priority constraints identified in the Rapid Rural Reconnaissance (RRR) project and focuses on strengthening dissemination channels and the actors who move agricultural production and consumer science information.
Executive Summary/Description
The primary beneficiaries of the project are intended to be the small farmers in post conflict areas - beginning with the same areas where the RRR was carried out - as well as the NGOs that are providing technical information to these farmers. The project is being carried out in 2017-2018.
