Assessment metrics for agricultural innovation systems (AIS) and extension and advisory services (EAS)

The overall objective of the technical workshop was to present the guidelines on AIS and EAS assessments, the results at country level and to design and develop a framework of indicators to complement those assessments. Specific objectives were to:

• Present and discuss the draft AIS and EAS assessment guides and the results/feedback from country implementation and testing;
• Map and analyse existing indicators and metrics approaches with relevance to both AIS and EAS;
• Identify gaps in the existing indicators and recommend a revised set/framework of indicators for the AIS and EAS assessment that track progress, provide insights on the performance evaluation and allow for knowledge and experience sharing among countries facing similar challenges.
