Abstract
Agricultural extension services in Tanzania have always been considered to be weak
since they have often not lived up to peoples' expectations in terms of their
contribution to the development process. Yet under the ongoing government reform
process the same services have been assigned critical role to foster the transformation
of the agricultural sector and hence, accelerate the development process, especially in
rural areas. This paper looks at the contemporary challenges facing agricultural
extension services that are being provided by the public and the private sector under
new institutional arrangements.
