Training
program on New Extensionist - the roles, strategies and capacities to
strengthen the extension service of Coconut Cultivation Board.
Coconut
Cultivation Board is initiating follow-up the learning kit with the
massive hand, Prof. Wanigasundera, Department of Extension, Faculty of
Agriculture, University of Peradeniya. This footstep for the development
of COCONUT DEVELOPMENT OFFICERS to be a New Extensionist.
The
New Extensionist is a global view of extension and advisory services
(EAS) that reinvents and clearly articulates the role of EAS in the
rapidly-changing rural context. It argues for an expanded role for EAS
within agricultural innovation systems (AIS) and development of new
capacities at different levels to play this role.
The
Learning Kit contains 13 modules designed for self-directed,
face-to-face, or blended learning and can be a useful tool for
individual extension field staff, managers, lecturers and
non-governmental organizations, and other training institutions. The
development process was designed and managed as an iterative journey of
broad consultations, discussions, and feedback from a wide range of
stakeholders.
Two
batches of Coconut Development officers learned new extensionist
learning kit and next batch will be started on 22nd of July at CDTC.
