The New Extensionist offers a global view of extension and advisory services (EAS) that reinvents and clearly articulates the role of EAS in the rapidly-changing rural context. It argues for an expanded role for EAS within Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) and development of new capacities at different levels to play this role. The New Extension Learning Kit (NELK) was developed as a knowledge resource to support development of these capacities. NELK contains 15 modules designed for self-directed, face-to-face, or blended learning and can be a useful tool (but not exclusively) for individual extension field staff, managers, lecturers and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and other training institutions.
