(Journal abstract) This paper describes developments in forestry extension in two districts of Kenya
conducted under the auspices of the
Nakuru and Nyandarua Forestry Extension Project 1990–1995 and the subsequent influence of those developments
on extension policy
pertaining to agroforestry in Kenya. It provides examples of innovative aspects within a conventional
service- delivery programme and
describes in some detail the successes, weaknesses, and opportunities of the pilot activities using
a participatory extension methodology.
These activities, together with others piloted in the country, have contributed to conceptualising the
bottom-up planning approaches that
underpin the National Agricultural Extension and Livestock Programme, a government programme that, in
conjunction with the ongoing
government restructuring, has replaced the previously dominant national approach of Training and Visit.
The current programme relies on
interdisciplinary and participatory planning in focal areas
