Session 6 1 ACAI Work Stream 4 introductionDavid Ngome
This presentation was made by Pieter Pypers and it highlighted the following:
Project outcomes include a target number of extension agents trained on the use of the tools (1,259 extension agents), of which today 758 EAs (60%) have been involved in ACAI activities. Reaching a sufficient number of EAs is essential to have impact. Project outcomes focus on number of HHs benefiting from the tools (120,000) and the value generated through the use of these tools.
Different activities under the WS4 include (i) a second round of validation exercises, (ii) grassroot events, (iii) tool demonstration, (iv) training events, (v) production of training materials, (vi) production of farmer-friendly videos, (vii) promotion events, (viii) awareness campaigns, and (ix) cluster meetings.
The importance of ME&L was emphasized, and the process underlying impact evaluation: the project aims at tracking farmers who were reached, gained insights, continued using the tools, changed their practices and finally benefited. Most important: the project aims to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Timeline of activities: the project aims to conduct a number of sprints to advance the tools in preparation of the use of the tools in Nigeria, starting in April 2020.

agricultural development in the district.
•It is a focal point for integrating Research and Extension activities and decentralising day to
day management of the public Agricultural Technology System(ATS).
•It is a registered society responsible for technology dissemination at the district level.
4. Why ATMA ?
The ATMA at district level would be increasingly responsible for all the technology
dissemination activities at the district level. It would have linkage with all the line
departments, research organizations, non-governmental organizations and agencies
associated with agricultural development in the district.
Each Research- Extension(R-E) unit would retain its institutional identity and affiliation
but programs and procedures concerning district-wise R-E activities would be determined
by ATMA Governing Board to be implemented by its Management Committee(MC).
5. Objectives Of ATMA
The objectives of ATMA are :
1.To strengthen research – extension – farmer linkages.
2.To provide an effective mechanism for co-ordination and management of
activities of different agencies involved in technology adaption / validation and
dissemination at the district level and below.
3.To increase the quality and type of technologies being disseminated.
4.To move towards shared ownership of the agricultural technology system by key
shareholders.
5.To develop new partnerships with the private institutions including NGOs.

12. STRATEGY
The objectives of the scheme shall be met through strengthened institutional arrangements
and dedicated manpower at State, District, Block & Village level through the institutional
mechanism as detailed below.
State Level:
The State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSC) set up under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY)
is the apex body to approve State Extension Work Plan (SEWP) which will form a part of the
State Agriculture Plan (SAP).
The SLSC will be supported by the Inter Departmental Working Group (IDWG). IDWG is
responsible for day-to-day coordination and management of the Scheme activities within the
State.
13. District Level:
ATMA is an autonomous institution set up at district level to ensure delivery of extension
services to farmers. ATMA Governing Board(GB) is the apex body of ATMA which provides
overall policy direction.
ATMA GB will be assisted by the District ATMA Cell comprising PD(Project Director) ATMA,
Dy. PDs and Staff in the discharge of its functions.
ATMA Management Committee is the executive body looking after implementation of the
scheme. District Farmers Advisory Committee is a body to provide farmer's feedback for
district level planning and implementation.
14. Block Level:
At the Block level, two bodies viz. Block Technology Team (BTT) (a team comprising
officers of agriculture and all line departments within the block) and Block Farmers
Advisory Committee (BFAC) (a group exclusively consisting of farmers of the block) shall
continue to function jointly (with the latter providing farmers' feedback and input).
BFACs shall represent Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs) / FOs existing within the block on
rotation basis to advise the arr. The Block ATMA Cell consisting of these two bodies, Block
Technology Manager and Subject Matter Specialists will provide extension support within
the Block, through preparation and execution of Block Action Plans (BAPs).
15. Village Level:
The Farmer Friend (FF) will serve as a vital link between extension system and farmers at
village level (one for every two villages). The FF will be available in the village to advise on
agriculture and allied activities.
The FF will mobilize farmers' groups and facilitate dissemination of information to such
groups, individual farmers and farm women directly through one to one interaction
individually or in groups and also by accessing information / services on behalf of farmers
as per need through Common Service Centers (CSC) / Kisan Call Centers (KCC).
