This presents part three of the Action Plan developed at the IAU Workshop on higher education for EFA, held in New Delhi, India on 20-21 February 2014. It deals with how to better engage community services offered by Indian universities to achieve EFA.
1) Extension remains a key link between agricultural innovation and productivity gains for smallholder farmers but faces new challenges with the transformation of food systems and the emergence of private sector extension.
2) Extension policies and programs need to be tailored to countries' stages of agricultural development and transformation from agriculture-based to transformed economies.
3) Building the value case for extension requires assessing factors like relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, impact and equity at the individual, organizational, and systems levels.

Forest lake active volunteering project profile draft 2 december 2010billbrown2011

This document outlines a project to build youth leadership capabilities in the Inala area by leveraging the cultural wisdom of Aboriginal groups and developing mentoring programs. The project would partner Forest Lake Senior High School with local community organizations and businesses. It aims to strengthen community connections, enhance leadership opportunities, and provide real-world learning experiences for students. Key outputs would be developing active citizenship among youth and facilitating shared decision-making between partners through open communication and commitment of resources like time and funding. Progress would be reviewed using student data and partnership metrics to ensure outcomes are achieved.
Within the framework of the joint IFAD-funded Large Grant programme: Strengthening Capacities and Tools to Scale Up and Disseminate Innovations, the Procasur Corporation supports knowledge management and capacity-building strategies aimed at scaling up best practices and innovations that contribute to reducing poverty among IFAD stakeholders in East and Southern Africa (ESA), West and Central Africa (WCA), Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Asia and Pacific (APR) regions.
The programmes objective is to enhance implementation performance and impact of rural development projects in LAC, ESA, PTA and WCA by increasing access to knowledge, capacity building and scaling up of good practices.
This objective is achieved by:
Identifying, organizing and disseminating existing knowledge on innovations and best practices;
Identifying local champions, or people who play a key role in promoting innovations, and enabling them to organize and share their experience using the Learning Routes methodology; and
Designing and implementing Learning Routes and disseminating the knowledge acquired.
The IFAD Country Office in Sudan has participated in several Learning Routes, and on the basis of this experience, has proposed customizing the methodology and making it simpler and easier to use. This would allow projects and the country office to share knowledge and ideas more easily, and therefore contribute to improved performance.
These guidelines are based on draft guidelines proposed by the Country Office, which in turn are largely based on original material produced by Procasur. They reflect the experience gained by Procasur in its work with rural communities and organizations in the Global South, and are also an expression of the value that IFADs country programme in Sudan places on the Learning Routes methodology as a tool for rural transformation. These updated guidelines have incorporated comments and lessons from the training and field exercise undertaken with IFAD project staff in Uganda in July 2014.
The guidelines are rooted in fieldwork and real-life experiences. They are therefore a work in progress that will grow with the contributions of the communities, organizations and projects using them. Users are encouraged to be flexible and innovative, and when they discover new ways of sharing knowledge, to contribute this information to the guidelines. Users suggestions and ideas are essential for making the guidelines better.
Here are the key points from the interview with Waqaf An-Nur:

LIVES project aims to develop capacity in Ethiopia through various interventions. It focuses on developing knowledge and skills of value chain actors and service providers to strengthen sustainable livestock and irrigation value chains. Interventions include training, coaching, demonstrations and networking. Targets include farmers, input providers, businesses and extension agents. The project works closely with the public extension system for scaling out approaches. Outcomes include established input providers and adopting households. Lessons highlight the importance of partnerships, demonstrations, informal dissemination and addressing capacity needs.
Teaming up with an enriching group of host students, these young emerging scholars gained knowledge and leadership skills to accomplish self actualization and to become more engaged in their communities. Engaging in experiential activities, discussions, site visits, training modules and professional lectures, participants bagged opportunities to strengthen their understanding while exploring facets unique to each student's ethnicity and personality.

This document summarizes findings from a research project on agricultural innovation systems in East Africa. It discusses trends in how innovation support is provided, patterns of farmer communication, and issues of inclusion and exclusion in rural communication. Key findings include:
1) Formal support systems are decentralizing but constrained by bureaucracy, while actors are playing diverse roles to support innovation.
2) Farmers actively seek to improve livelihoods through adapting technologies, driven by markets and food security.
3) Communication maps show farmers rely more on localized sources for timely information, while infrastructure challenges disrupt access.
4) There are gender differences in networks, access to information sources, and support for different crops.
