    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the purpose of this Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2011 on National Agricultural Sector Extension Policy (NASEP), which is being tabled, is the first in the history of agriculture. It is expected that it will guide the change of the agricultural sector extension services to become vibrant and functioning; that will drive the sector to the highest levels. The overall objective of the Sessional Paper on National Agricultural Sector Extension Policy is to provide a policy framework that enables the following to: - 1. manage holistic extension service for effective service delivery, 2. develop private sector operated extension services to compliment public extension systems, 3. commercialize and privatize public extension services without compromising public interest, 4. harmonize and provide quality control for the extension approaches and methods, especially those promoting demand driven extension and capacity building for grassroots institutions, 5. create functional institutional co-ordination mechanism to strengthen linkages among key stakeholders; and, 6. mainstream cross cutting issues touching on the extension, for example, gender, HIV/AIDS, financing agriculture, climate change among others."
