SUMMARY:Fourth National Agricultural Extension Week (NAEW) - 2023
DESCRIPTION:During 2020\, the 3rd National Extension symposium was held as an e-event\, given the prevailing situation of COVID-19 that year. Due to the stabilized situation\, the 4th National Extension event will be held physically for a week from 22nd to 26th May 2023. Hence the change of the name to a National Extension Week. The theme of the event will be “Unveiling innovative pluralistic AEAS approaches: Actors’ resilience and competitiveness for food security and commercialized agriculture” The Event will host synergetic presentations\, discussions\, and partners’ side events\, among others. It will be preceded by regional events to be held from 10th -14th April 2023. \nPurpose\nThe purpose of the extension Week will be to generate ex-tension policy and practice ideas on how Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS) can effectively and efficiently contribute to the building of actors’ resilience and competitiveness for food security and commercialized agriculture. This is with reference to the sustained uncertainties and emergence situations such as COVID 19\, Locusts\, Drought\, Price rises\, Floods\, Ebola confronting national and global agricultural economies. It is also with the under-standing that various AEAS actors with in pluralistic extension have developed innovations on how to succeed with their services and businesses while building client resilience and competitiveness despite the ongoing challenges.
