Innovations in financing mechanisms for demand-driven agricultural advisory services
The reform of extension systems towards pluralism and more demand drive over the past decades and the shift towards Agricultural Innovation Systems went along with changes in financing mechanisms. This report is part of a series of four case studies and a synthesis of these cases undertaken by the FAO Research and Extension Unit. The series documents innovative types of financing mechanisms for demand-led agricultural advisory systems and services in Denmark, Chile, Colombia and Senegal. This synthesis report was established with a conceptual framework for analysis used to develop a synthesis of the experiences from the four case studies. It highlights the changes that have occurred due to the different financing models and describes to what extent this has resulted in farmer empowerment and in more relevant, effective and sustainable services. The synthesis also supplements the cases with a literature review on other cases of similar financing mechanisms and draws overall conclusions and recommendations.
