2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

Increasing farmers' outputs through use of extension advisory service on flat area of land.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: The main aim was to provide technical skills together with knowledge to farmers . It involves organizing of trainings through workshops mainly held on each parish of Kasasa sub county.

Methods: In implementation and adopting this approach various methods were used. These include organizing, training, between the farmers and the extension advisors (NAADS staff).
Demonstration was also used through farmer field schools through which farmers gain knowledge skills on how to apply the technology in their own gardens. This demonstration was at Mr. Kateregga Johnsons' garden.

Role of stakeholders: Farmers provided labour and at the same time acted as decision makers.

2.8 Principaux objectifs de l'Approche

The Approach focused on SLM only

-To provide technical skills to the farmers.

Commentaires:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations; indicators: soil erosion reduced by 65%.

technical aspects were regular monitored by project staff through observations; indicators: It sometimes performs well .

socio-cultural aspects were regular monitored by project staff through observations; indicators: farmers involvement increased.

economic / production aspects were regular monitored by project staff through observations; indicators: yield increased by 68%.

economic / production aspects were regular monitored by project staff through measurements; indicators: number moved up to 70%.

area treated aspects were regular monitored by project staff through observations; indicators: workshops & trainings provided.

area treated aspects were regular monitored by project staff through measurements

no. of land users involved aspects were monitored by project staff through observations

management of Approach aspects were monitored by project staff, land users through observations

There were several changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: farmers production increased and some farmers who attended the trainings can now train others.

There were several changes in the Technology as a result of monitoring and evaluation: There are some combinations of technologies, where by a farmer can do intercropping , but in the spaces left practices compositing also at the same garden.
