dc.description.abstract |
Agricultural development projects have been promoted in many places as a
feature of poverty-reduction strategies. Such projects have often been implemented
without a strong in-built education component, and hence have had little success.
Agricultural projects seek to improve food security by diversifying a household’s resource
base and facilitating the social and economic empowerment of women. The
present study presents a survey designed to assess the relationship between education
level and ability to benefit from dairy-development projects in Kenya. Results reveal
higher occupation and employment levels among beneficiary than non-beneficiary
households. On the other hand, beneficiaries of poverty-reduction schemes require
specialized training. Apart from project-specific training, the level of general education
alone cannot predict the attainment of project objectives. |
