Abstract
A case is made for the need for agricultural extension reform in Tanzania. The
paper not only brings to light issues which necessitate agricultural extension reform
such as financing, privatization of extension services, cost-effectiveness, relevance,
emergence of farmer-led initiatives, changes in extension practice and
sustainability, but also provides the vision, guiding principles and their
implications, and strategic options. The vision for extension is meant to provide a
shared ideal for various extension stakeholders including providers who although
may he different in several-ways, will strive to work according to the vision.
