According to Dr. Silim Mohammed Nahdy, executive director of the African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS), the seventh extension week should focus on addressing emerging continental problems and forging avenues for transition, scaling up and delivery of quality extension that can support the farmers.
“Our resolve is to develop the Africa wide agricultural sector towards the attainment of the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) especially those of zero hunger and to improve agriculture and rural productivity and this cannot be attained without working together as extension and with national governments,” he said.
He made the remarks at the launch of the Seventh Africa wide Agriculture Extension Week 2025 Launched in Malawi. The event takes place from the 12th to the 16th of May 2025. It will take place at the Bingu International Convention Centre in Lilongwe, Malawi.
