Food Safety Issues in the Developing World (World Bank Technical Papers)

The Training and Visit (T & V) system of management was introduced in Kenya by the World Bank in 1982 as a pilot, which became effective in 1991. The two Bank Extension Projects that supported the T & V system sought to increase agricultural productivity and develop the institutions of the extension service. Whether the extension approach is effective or not became a subject for debate. The costs appear to be high and the impact on agricultural production low. This volume evaluates the impact of the system based on a credible body of empirical evidence. It identifies the system's deficiencies and makes recommendations for improvement.Nanc Hirschhorn is the author of 'Food Safety Issues in the Developing World (World Bank Technical Papers)', published 2000 under ISBN 9780821347706 and ISBN 0821347705.
