NEADAP Reports - Exploring dairy extension in East Africa

NEADAP is committed to supporting dairy advisory services in East Africa. As part of this work, we explored the existing diversity of extension models in the six countries of NEADAP and provided representatives of different dairy advisory services with an opportunity to reflect on their success factors and their own capabilities and performance so they could identify areas for improvement. You can read more about in this community update.

Ultimately, our aim is to create a roadmap for decision-makers to foster an environment conducive to dairy farmers thriving and experiencing the positive impact of these services.
