This book is intended to: (i) explore the role and potential of agricultural extension in post-conflict countries; (ii) investigate the experience and issues involved with rebuilding extension systems in post-conflict settings; (iii) examine the impact of different extension policy approaches and practice in such settings; and (iv) identify the key elements needed to effectively rebuild agricultural extension systems and programmes in post-conflict contexts. An introduction offering a background on the intersection of conflict, agriculture, and extension is followed by 12 chapters, each written as a country-specific case study that provides a descriptive account but also analyses strategies, successes and failures, and lessons learned. The book concludes with a global synthesis chapter that ties together the learning from the individual case studies into a set of cohesive global themes and commonalities.
