| Description | Loevinsohn, M.E., G. Meijerink and B. Salasya, 2001. Developing Integrated Pest Management with Kenyan Farmers: Evaluation of a Pilot Project. In: N. Lilja, J.A. Ashby and L.J. Sperling (eds) Assessing the Impact of Participatory Research and Gender Analysis, CIAT, Cali, pp. 231-247.The farmer field school (FFS) is a group learning approach to building capacity among farmers in integrated pest management (IPM) and other aspects of natural resource management (NRM). This chapter reports on an evaluation of a pilot project in Kenya, one of the first to adapt to African conditions the approach pioneered in Asia. International partners in the project are: the International Institute of Biological Control (IIBC), the Kenyan Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development (MOALDM), the Coffee Research Foundation (CRF), the Kenyan Institute of Organic Farming (KIOF), and the Kenyan Agricultural Research Institute (KARI). The Global IPM Facility provided financial support. Two purposes motivated the evaluation. First, Kenyan and international partners in the project were considering a follow-up to the pilot phase and needed to understand what it had accomplished. Second, the evaluation serves as a case study within a wider review of different types of participatory research and development. It is intended to provide policy makers of the national agricultural research systems (NARS) with greater insights into the costs, benefits, and institutional implications of the choices they must make when taking up participatory approaches. |
