Enhancing the Role of Farmer Training Centres
Some evidence on the use of FTCs and facilities
• Leadership that believes in the relevance of FTCs and committed to support is critical
• Readiness of the extension system to respond to evolving needs of farmers
• Income generating activities are important for the viability and sustainability of FTCs
• Maintaining live animal demonstrations on FTCs requires careful consideration (needs 24 hours / 7 days attention)
• FTCs with access to basic infrastructure and facilities are much more likely to register good results
