Guide to Extension Evaluation
The final version of the GFRAS Guide to Evaluating Rural Extension has been published. The Guide supports those involved in extension evaluation to choose how to conduct more comprehensive, rigorous, credible, and useful evaluations. The Guide supports readers to understand different types of evaluation, to make decisions on what is most appropriate for their circumstances, and to access further sources of theoretical and practical information. A consultation on the original draft took place in 2011, with feedback from the various experts and potential users being taken up in this final version.
