Digital farmer registry and tailored extension and advisory services in Ethiopia: A process evaluation
Ethiopia hosts one of the largest extension systems in Africa, with approximately 43 development agents (DAs) per 10,000 farmers, more than 15,000 farmers training centers (FTCs) that serve as a focal point for agricultural development activities
Ethiopia’s rivers and streams (Figure 1) and its ground water potential of 2.6 billion m3 of groundwater potential (Awulachew et al., 2008) is estimated to have a potential to irrigate 5.3 million hectares of land.
Increased diversification of rural households into the rural non-farm economy is an important driver of economic growth and structural transformation in countries like Ethiopia where most people live in rural areas and are largely dependent on sea
This study examined the patterns, trends, and drivers of agricultural intensification and productivity growth during the recent decade (2012 - 2019) using three rounds of household data collected from four agricultural regions of Ethiopia.
Agricultural transformation refers to a series of changes in agriculture that both reflect and drive rising income and economic development more broadly.

Women’s empowerment is a significant element of economic development (Duflo 2012).
Kenyan farmers’ livelihoods are closely linked to climate conditions.
Agricultural land management productivity
In the coming decades, the international community will face the challenges of reining in global climate change, ensuring food security for a growing population, and promoting sustainable development.
Enhanced climate resilience in agriculture
Climate is a robust determinant of both agricultural and general economic performance in Kenya and elsewhere in rainfed Sub-Saharan Africa.
This project note presents the results of a community-based, participatory assessment of local perspectives on climate change and adaptation in five sites in Kenya.
Climate variability and climate change
Characteristic of much of Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya is highly vulnerable to climate change.
