Policy Options for Agricultural Extension in a Post-Conflict Context: The Example of the Central African Republic
Project Summary
The five-year conflict in the Central African Republic didn鈥檛 go without impacting on
subsistence farmers activities of food production, exacerbating the rampant poverty
among these rural population. Yet revitalizing the agricultural sector requires to
mainstream the intervention with peace building. Agricultural extension appears as an
ideal tool for that. The project consists in determining agricultural extension policies that

and beyond. It comes as a contribution to promoting peacebuilding in conflict-afflicted
communities in Africa.
