The aim of the project is to reshape the delivery of agricultural research and extension services towards a dynamic multi-provider system so that farmers can become more competitive, increase their income and improve their livelihoods. By the end of 2011, 16 314 Farmer-Managed Activities (FMAs) have been implemented in around 3 064 villages, located within 68 districts/18 provinces. In addition, 789 district-level Rural Extension Centres have been constructed with a total project objective of 807.
