Farmer organizations (FOs) are groups established by farmers to support members' individual and collective interests through representation and services. FOs differ in their scale, functions, and legal structures, ranging from national federations to local associations that focus on advocacy, economic support, or local development. Farmer-to-farmer extension involves training provided by farmers to other farmers, often establishing farmer trainers who may be volunteers, paid a fee, or receive a stipend or salary depending on their relationship to sponsoring organizations or those they serve.

Building Capacity to Integrate Gender into International Extension Programs
This document summarizes workshops conducted in several African countries to build the capacity of agricultural extension workers to integrate gender into their programs. Pre- and post-workshop assessments showed large increases in knowledge, especially regarding gender analysis tools, engaging mixed and single-gender groups, and monitoring gender-responsive programming. Recommendations include training more female extension workers, considering cultural contexts, and ensuring projects do not increase women's workload. The goal is to promote greater gender equity in rural advisory services.
Building the Value Case for Extension
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.

The next steps outlined are finalizing chapters, conducting analysis and synthesis, and publishing the final volume in January 2016.
GFRAS Policy Compendium
This document outlines the development of GFRAS's Extension Policy Compendium. It began with the 2011 Nairobi Declaration which called for clear extension policies. A policy working group was formed in 2012 and conducted surveys in 2013 on the need for an extension policy guide. This led to discussions at GFRAS's 2014 annual meeting and the creation of the compendium. The compendium is intended to provide easily accessible resources like policy templates, case studies and networks to support the development and implementation of extension policies. It will be updated based on gap analyses and policy dialogs. The compendium involves stakeholders from various organizations and includes country-specific and commissioned articles.
Georgia—Not Following the Crowd
Georgia has substantially increased funding for its Ministry of Agriculture since 2011 and improved its policy environment through 2012 parliamentary elections. In 2013, the Ministry of Agriculture established a public extension system with 245 specialists dispersed to 54 field offices. While progress has been made, extension specialists in the field offices have many responsibilities beyond farmer education. There are also concerns about specialists serving both educational and regulatory roles winning farmers' trust. Georgia currently has laws preventing the extension network from charging fees for services.
Along the Policy Path: Reviewing Ghana’s Agricultural Extension Policy
The document summarizes a symposium on public sector service provision and policy making in Ghana. It discusses a participatory forum reviewing Ghana's agricultural extension policy, where stakeholders identified priority recommendations through group exercises and discussions. These included targeting resources to women providers and beneficiaries, adequately funding public extension services, clarifying extension capacity development funding, updating emerging issues in extension policy, and revising the farmer-based organizations policy and strategy. Next steps involve revising Ghana's agricultural extension policy to reflect the recommendations.
Agricultural Extension Policy Formulation in Cambodia: An Overview of the Pro...
The document outlines the extensive process undertaken by Cambodia's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to formulate an agricultural extension policy. It involved establishing committees, conducting literature reviews and consultations at regional and national levels with stakeholders including farmers, NGOs, and development partners. Draft policies were developed and revised based on feedback over several months. The goal is to improve extension services and technology adoption to boost agricultural productivity and farmer livelihoods in Cambodia.
Agricultural Extension Services in Malawi
This document discusses the history and current state of agricultural extension services in Malawi, as well as ideas for improving extension efforts going forward. It notes that agriculture is the main livelihood for most Malawians but productivity needs to increase. The history of extension involved different approaches, and currently extension aims to be demand-driven and pluralistic. Challenges include lack of coordination, coverage, and training. The document recommends strengthening partnerships between farmers, researchers, and extension providers to improve market-oriented, coordinated extension services nationwide.
Institutional Innovation: Enabling Decentralised Extension in Ghana
The document summarizes a project in Ghana called SNEDIP that aims to strengthen decentralized agricultural extension services. The objectives are to improve extension services for farmers, strengthen capacity of local actors, and strengthen communication links. The approach includes identifying training priorities, developing training materials, providing agent training, facilitating FBO services, and monitoring impact. Key lessons discussed are the need for holistic and local training materials, facilitation for demand-driven extension, proper timing, focusing on capacity development, sustainability focused support, and targeted operational investments. Opportunities mentioned include improving coordination and farmer advocacy.

Definitions of Farmer Organizations and Farmer-to-Farmer Extension
Farmer organizations (FOs) are established groups with defined membership and structure that support farmers' individual and collective interests. A key function of FOs is mediating between members and external actors in the economic, institutional, and political environment. FOs vary in their scale, functions, legal designations, and other dimensions, ranging from national federations to local associations focused on policy, economics, or local development. Farmer-to-farmer extension involves training provided by farmers to other farmers, often through farmer trainers. These trainers play different roles and may provide services voluntarily, be paid fees, receive stipends, or have contractual salaries depending on their relationship with sponsoring organizations or those they serve.
Farmer Organizations and Demand-Driven Extension
This document discusses farmer organizations and demand-driven extension. It defines farmer organizations as having membership, a purpose, and organizational structure to support members' interests. The document explores working with farmer groups to strengthen rural development and influence on advisory services depends on investment type. It reviews factors that influence farmer organizations and how different investment types in rural advisory services affect farmer empowerment, self-reliance, and demand-driven extension. The document concludes that supporting farmer organizations requires addressing functional barriers, understanding evolving group needs, and preparing for group-based approaches to be effective.
Participatory Extension Experiences from Latin America
This document summarizes findings from a study of participatory extension experiences in Latin America, specifically looking at cases from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, and Bolivia. Some key findings were that participatory extension led to increased production and lower delivery costs while being more culturally appropriate and able to reach more women smallholders. However, challenges remained around financial sustainability, weak links to research, difficulties for promoters operating beyond their communities, and lack of data collection. The document recommends addressing these issues through increased domestic funding, training, resources for promoters, stronger institutional ties, and linking extension to broader development goals.
Farmer-to-farmer extension: The quiet transformation
Farmer-to-farmer extension is widely used in countries like Malawi and Cameroon. However, little was known about lessons learned across organizations. Surveys of organizations and farmers in Cameroon, Kenya, and Malawi found that the main benefits of farmer-to-farmer extension according to organizations were increased knowledge sharing and sustainability. Farmers were motivated to become trainers by altruism, knowledge gain, and social status rather than material benefits or income. Motivations changed over time, so programs need incentives like recognition, training, and market links. Farmer-to-farmer extension can help address gender imbalances by increasing the number of women extension providers, but proactive recruitment and training
Delivering the Farmbook Suite: Review of MEAS Pilot Project in Kenya
Farmbook Suite is a set of three ICT tools - Map & Track, e-Learning curriculum, and e-Biz Planner - being piloted in Kenya to strengthen extension services. The goal is to assess the impact of training extension agents and farmers on livelihoods and productivity. Preliminary results found the tools were well-received by agents but challenges included a lack of devices, funds for agent training, and license costs. Counties expressed interest in using Farmbook for registration, tracking service delivery, and developing business plans with farmers.

- 1. Farmer Organizations FOs: have a defined membership, purpose for assembling and organizational structure, established to support members in pursuing their individual and collective interests. One "essential function is to organize relations with the external world,” to mediate between members and “…others who act in their economic, institutional, and political environment.” (Haubert and Bey, 1995) Farmer Organizations differ in terms of their: • scale/character of membership (national federations to local associations), • function (policy/advocacy, economic/technical, local development), • legal designation (registered Coops vs unregistered clubs/groups/associations), among other dimensions.
- 2. Farmer-to-farmer Extension • Farmer-to-farmer extension (F2FE) is “the provision of training by farmers to farmers, often through the creation of a structure of farmer trainers” (Scarborough et al., 1997). • We use the term “farmer trainer” as a generic term for farmers involved in farmer-to-farmer extension, though we recognize that different labels (e.g., lead farmer, community knowledge worker) often have implications for the exact roles and tasks of the farmers involved. • In some cases, farmer trainers provide services voluntarily. In others, farmers pay them a fee or organizations pay them a stipend or even a salary. When the nature of their relationship with their sponsoring organization or those that they serve becomes contractual, use of more appropriate descriptors, such as “fee- based training” instead of F2FE, may be warranted.
