- cited reference, The Hague: International Service for National Agricultural Research, May 1990. 15 p. (ISNAR Linkages Discussion Paper No. 6)., The research-extension liaison services in Nigeria have evolved from a small regional group, attached to a ministry, to an autonomous institute with nationwide responsibilities. The size, mandate and number of clients of the institute have expanded considerably in the course of this evolution. This paper traces the changes in the organizational structure of the liaison services at each stage of their development, and shows how structural factors have interacted with other factors to influence performance.

- Notes:
- cited reference, The Hague: International Service for National Agricultural Research, October 1990. 10 p. (ISNAR Linkages Discussion Paper No. 8)., This paper focuses on the links between rice research and extension in the Matara District of Sri Lanka. Various formal linkage mechanisms were set up when the training and visit system of extension was implemented nationwide, including regional technical working groups, research-extension dialogues, bi-weekly training, and the use of subject-matter officers as liaison between research and extension. These mechanisms improved the links but could not overcome the poor communication and great social distance between researchers and extension workers. After World Bank project funding ended, the mechanisms could not be fully sustained. (original)
