About DLEC

The Feed the Future Developing Local Extension Capacity (DLEC) project galvanizes diverse EAS stakeholders to measurably improve agricultural extension programs, policies and services. DLEC accomplishes this objective through three interrelated sets of activities: (i) Country Diagnostics to make recommendations and inform strategies, (ii) Action Research Engagements to test interventions and build an evidence base, and (iii) Communities of Practice to share and advocate for proven best-fit practices in extension. DLEC (2016-2021) is led by Digital Green in partnership with organizations such as the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (GFRAS).
