Ethiopia, one of the most densely populated countries in Africa, faces increasing food insecurity unless it can dramatically boost agricultural productivity per hectare. In 1993, the Sasakawa/Global 2000 Program (SG2000) began work in Ethiopia in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture's Department of Extension and Cooperatives (MOA).

In 1995, the MOA/SG demonstration program reached more than 3,500 farmers. During the same year MOA launched the New Extension Program (NEP) based on SG principles but managed independently. By 1997, NEP was managing the bulk of the demonstration plots. Although the MOA/SG program is widely considered to be a... |
