Extension Options for Better Livelihoods and Poverty Reduction: A Selected Review 2012–2015

Author: Kristin Davis, Steven Franzel, David J. Spielman , 2016

The context in which extension operates has changed dramatically in recent decades. As a result, there is a renewed interest in extension and an interest in changing traditional approaches to extension. With that renewed interest comes demand for information and analysis. 

The overall goal of this report is to provide up-to-date information on key topics related to extension knowledge and perspectives and to enable decision makers to identify areas where (1) further evidence on extension through commissioned research is needed, and (2) extension investment practices should be reconsidered.
