摘要

研究考察了城市推广工作者的社会经济特征对农民赋权的影响。采用目的抽样和简单随机抽样的方法,利用Yamane公式抽取64名推广工作者。通过问卷调查收集数据。使用频率、百分位数和多元线性回归分析数据。研究发现,推广工作者的社会经济特征对推广方式的选择有正向影响。结果表明,37.2%的农民赋权可以通过选择受推广人员特征影响的推广方法来解释。然而,49.9%的推广工作者不知道在适当选择推广方法时所采用的成人学习原则。该研究建议对内罗毕县的推广工作人员进行能力培训,以便在选择推广方法时考虑到ALPs和信息通信与技术(ICT)技术。这些能力最终可以导致推广系统设计的转变,这将有助于少数推广人员为更多的农民提供高效和有效的服务,从而赋予农民权力。关键词:推广工作者特征、农民赋权、内罗毕、城市和城郊农业

Socio- Economic Characteristics of Urban Extension Workers Influencing Empowerment of Farmers in Nairobi County, Kenya
The study examined the influence of socio-economic characteristics of urban extension workers on farmers’ empowerment. Purposive and simple random sampling methods were used to select 64 extension workers by utilizing the Yamane formula. Data were collected by the use of questionnaires. Frequencies, percentiles and multiple linear regressions were utilised to analyse the data. The extension workers’ socio - economic characteristics were found to positively influence the choice of extension methods. The findings revealed that 37.2% of farmer empowerment could be explained by the choice of extension methods influenced by the characteristics of extension workers. However, 49.9% of the extension workers were not aware of the adult learning principles (ALPs) that are employed in the appropriate choice of extension methods. The study recommends that extension workers in Nairobi County be trained in competencies to consider ALPs and information communication and technology (ICT) techniques in choices of extension methods. These competencies can ultimately lead to an extension system design transformation that will assist the few extension workers to serve more farmers efficiently and effectively leading to farmer empowerment. Key words: Extension worker characteristics, farmer empowerment, Nairobi, urban and peri-urban agriculture.
