Perceived Effectiveness of Agricultural Transfer Methods for CLCA improved Technologies: Evidence from extension and technical agents in Tunisia

Abstract

Extension Survey Questionnaire Instrument:
The IFAD funded CLCA Project aims to develop contextually relevant processes for enhancing the broad uptake of Conservation Agriculture within Integrated Crop-Livestock systems in drylands and in NENA regions (Algeria and Tunisia). 
In Tunisia, the CLCA project team is conducting interviews with extension officers and technical technicians who are experienced with CA and CLCA cropping systems. The aim of this study is to: i) determine the perception of the effectiveness of extension methods for the CLCA improved technologies by this category of stakeholders, and ii) assess the factors affecting the effectiveness of the extension methods deployed to disseminate CLCA technological packages. The findings will help decision makers and extension program planners to accelerate the adoption process and consequently conduct a rigorous assessment of its impact relative to the effectiveness and efficiency of the extension delivery process for CLCA improved technologies
