Participatory approaches in extension programs involve actively engaging stakeholders in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of extension activities. This approach recognizes the valuable knowledge, experience, and perspectives that community members, farmers, and other stakeholders possess, and seeks to incorporate these insights into the design and delivery of extension services. Overall, participatory approaches in extension programs promote inclusivity, empowerment, and sustainability by harnessing the collective wisdom and resources of diverse stakeholders. By working collaboratively with communities, extension services can better achieve their goals of improving agricultural productivity, livelihoods, and food security.
