The Worldwide Extension Study provides empirical data on the human and financial resources of agricultural extension and advisory systems worldwide, as well as other important information on:

• the primary extension service providers in each country 
  (e.g. public, private and/or non-governmental); 
• which types and groups of farmers are the primary target groups (e.g. large, medium, and/or small-scale farmers, including rural women) for each extension organization; 
• how each organization’s resources are allocated to key extension and advisory service functions;
• each organization’s information and communication technology  resources and capacity; and  
• what role, if any, different categories of farmers play in setting extension’s priorities and/or assessing performance.

 The entire WWES database can be searched for different keys and also downloaded as csv file. Please note: The full database is very big and may need some time to download. If you get a blank screen at first try reloading the page.
