It is suggested that these problems were inevitable since at the time of project planning very little was known about peasant coffee production and possible means for its intensification. However, better planning of monitoring and evaluation activities might have provided mechanisms for learning from research and experience during project implementation, and for constant modifications of project design and activities in response to this. When such mechanisms were belatedly introduced, project performance rapidly improved, though there is still much to be learnt and the effects and impact of changes in project activities may take many years to benefit farmers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration and Extension","volume":"29 4","pages":"Pages 301-308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0269-7475(88)90111-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84136576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each of Santa Cruz's eight principal agricultural commodities is produced by farmers having distinct ethnic, locational and farm-size characteristics. The success of corresponding Producers' Organisations in negotiating with the authorities over subsidised allocations of credit and foreign exchange, and over product prices is shown to depend partly on these characteristics, but also on the features of the product market faced by each group, and on the extent to which current production technologies require imported inputs. Patron-client relations postulated in earlier work as a mainspring of resource allocation are shown to be an incomplete explanation of observed patterns. These patterns give cause for concern, possibly on efficiency and certainly on equity grounds: from negotiations in credit, foreign exchange and price arenas, large commercial farmers secured the highest net gain per farm and per dollar of gross value added. Official intervention should be reduced in scale and focused more sharply, and market mechanisms strengthened.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration and Extension","volume":"29 1","pages":"Pages 53-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0269-7475(88)90023-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78699671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Required changes to the project management cycle to facilitate participatory rural development 需要改变项目管理周期，以促进参与式农村发展

This process enables the incorporation of a ‘bottom up’ extension programme planning and implementation methodology. This methodology includes problem census, problem-solving and consensus budget meetings with farmers and requires measurement of resource utilization on farms and by farming households. Since this extension methodology is farmer-centred the authors consider that farmer participation increases in the decision-making at the planning as well as implementation phases of a project. Through increased participation comes farmer commitment and the rapid adoption of relevant new technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100060,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Administration and Extension","volume":"30 1","pages":"Pages 3-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0269-7475(88)90044-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72903657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
