CHAPTER 4 Progress in Implementation of the NAADS Program


he main purpose of this chapter is to examine progress in implementa- tion of the NAADS program as perceived mostly by farmers. Following the conceptual framework, the indicators analyzed include areas of farmer institutional capacity development and empowerment of farmers to organize and demand advisory services (EMP); individual participation in farmer group activities (G); and type of advisory services received, mecha- nisms of delivery, and capacity and quality of different service providers (S). The local and institutional context within which the NAADS program has been implemented, including local government and community factors (LC), which may also capture national-level and policy factors (P) that impact local com- munities differently, are also examined. Unlike the detailed methodology presented in the previous chapter to assess the impacts of the program, the analysis in this chapter is based on simple descriptive statistics of the second- ary data obtained from the subcounty offices and the primary data from the farmer group survey on selected indicators compared between subcounties where the NAADS program was implemented (i.e., the NAADS subcounty stra- tum) and otherwise (i.e., the non-NAADS subcounty stratum). Similar to the definition of participation in the program at the household level, the status of the subcounty in the program was measured in 2007 to avoid switching over or having any subcounty appear in different strata. Similarly, a NAADS sub- county was always a NAADS subcounty and could not switch status, and the same was true for a non-NAADS subcounty. However, because the program was started at different times in different subcounties, we also compare the selected indicators across different subgroups within each NAADS subcounty stratum: early NAADS (where the program started in 2001–02), intermediate NAADS (where the program started in 2002–03), and late NAADS (where the program started after 2003). This is especially done when the primary data obtained from the farmer group survey are being analyzed. Change in the value of the indicators associated with the different survey years is also ana- lyzed in many cases, so the results are interpreted with these complexities in mind. Although the analysis here does not try to assess any causal impacts
