KASA impacts result from AMAREW activities
that disseminate Knowledge about
technologies and practices; promote positive
Attitudes about the technologies and
practices; provide the new Skills
needed for adoption; and modify
Aspirations so that adoption may occur.
KASA impacts are illustrated through:
FREGs
Technologies Disseminated by the Project
Long-Term Degree Training
The Erosion Remediation
Demonstration
FREGs
Farmer-Researcher-Extension Groups (FREGs)
are a methodological innovation the project
is supporting to improve
researcher-extension linkages to local
farmers and move research findings and
quality improved seed out rapidly in
intervention areas.
FREGs are one
of the modalities AMAREW uses to generate
KASA impacts.

The Erosion Remediation
Demonstration:
KASA impacts
through demonstrations
These photos show the gully erosion
problem and the results one can achieve
by implementing natural regeneration
guided by community-based management:
farmers use a gabion as a frame to put
stones into; eroding soil is then
trapped by the barrier, and the soil
caught by these barriers then sprouts
vegetation. |
