11 (b) Outcomes Since project on extension systems was not an action/applied research (IT WAS RESEARCH ONLY). Thus, project outcomes/inputs are difficult to document. However, the expectations are: To develop training materials for the stakeholders (maize value chain actors) so that they could perform their roles as determined in the AIS model (Fig. 1). Work with public and private schools to introduce agriculture into their school curriculum as a way to develop interest in agriculture this implies developing short courses for public and private school teachers to gradually develop and integrate agriculture in their school program.
