Abstract
The nature of the PEA process is increasing awareness between all participants of each
person’s unique knowledge and contributing to “laying the playing field” between outside
professionals and local expertise. Although the United Nations organizations and Nongovernmental Organizations in Myanmar have being introduced and implemented some
participatory extension, none of the government extension services in Myanmar practice
participatory methods still now. The governmental staffs that are working in agricultural extension and development are used to with centralized and top-down management in technology transfer process and this is the serious obstacle for the sustainable agricultural development. The governmental and non-governmental staff working in agricultural extension and development should begin integrating the PEA methods and activities for the future agricultural extension and development in Myanmar.
