INTERPAKS, In: Training for agriculture and rural development, 1980. p. 23-37, Explains the differing French and British backgrounds to extension activities in African countries. Considers training problems for extension agents which are common to many countries in Africa. Three broad conclusions are reached: (1) extension is one aspect of a global agricultural policy, participation of farmers can be strengthened by extension work only so long as the overall policy serves the interests of farmers; (2) coordination of field activities must take place at district levels; and (3) regional seminars are needed for similar ecological regions and bilingual seminars would help in coordinating activity of French and English speaking countries.
