Training and meetings
Trainings and meetings are also used in extension. Agriculture/Extension specialists from
government ministries or from NGOs organize for training at different times based on the
activities carried out. District and sector agronomists, Cell level extensionists and farmer
promoters are all trained on the new technologies being introduced in order to pass on this
information to farmers. Trainings are conducted on farms especially during the beginning of a
season in order to give farmers guidelines on the different activities. The trainings focus on crop
production, livestock management, water harvesting and environmental management.
