Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to assess the food crops and livestock extension service provision in Kenya with a broad aim of understanding what exists, what works and why. It seeks to expand knowledge on the nature of the existing extension providers, their characteristics, approaches employed and the challenges they face. Based on success cases, an attempt is made to delineate the fundamentals of ideal extension service system and the role of the government in such a scenario, with the aim of informing the implementation of the new National Agricultural Sector Extension Policy (NASEP).
