[EBOOK] AGRICULTURAL EXTENTION SERVICES FOR THE POOR, DR. DADAVID PAYNE (VUFO - NGO RESOURCE CENTRE), PREPARED BY HOANG XUAN THANH AND NGUYEN VIET KHOA

This review of Agricultural Extension Services for the Poor has been written on the initiative of the sub-group on Agricultural Extension Services for the Poor. The sub-group is part of the Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Group of the VUFO – NGO Resource Centre.

This documentation review is part of the INGO’s efforts to respond to and contribute to the poverty reduction efforts of Vietnam expressed in the Comprehensive Poverty Reduction & Growth Strategy (CPRGS). This review is carried out to support these poverty reduction efforts of the Vietnamese government by focusing on feed back from field experience in agricultural extension, related to the actual policy context in Vietnam.

In this review the INGO’s use their experiences in pro-poor agricultural extension in Vietnam. The relationship between farmers and NGO’s actively involved in extension service is generally understood to be of a different nature than that between farmers and government extension services. With the contribution of this reveiw, we can look at agricultural extension services from a different perspective and to bring this perspective into a debate on policies as well as implementation practices for more pro-poor agricultural extension.

Based on a given theoretical framework, feed back from sub-group participants (both VNGO’s and INGOs) field experience can be used and shared with DARD, MARD, and DAFE in order for INGO’s to contribute to a dialogue on how to further improve agricultural extension policies and implementation practices to be more pro-poor and ensuring the access of poor men and women, ethnic minorities and marginalized communities to appropriate agriculture extension systems. With poor we mean the more vulnerable rural people who depend on natural resources. We pay particular attention to women, ethnic minorities, landless, people living in remote places or in places vulnerable to natural disasters, or small-holders who largely depend on (falling) export crop prices.

I would like to express my appreciation to the sub-group participants and contributing organizations who made the documentation review and the publication of it possible.
