Summary of the topic

You have learnt that it is important to measure whether extension services are achieving their intended socio-economic impact or not. There are two conceptual themes which are relevant to measuring extension impacts. These are the awareness-knowledge-adoption-productivity (AKAP) sequence and the "growth gap" interrelationship between extension and research.
