Abstract

This study aims to explore the present and future of agricultural extension system in Uganda. Though Uganda has used many approaches in its agricultural extension, very little has been registered in farm productivity and profitability. Too many reforms some of them some are top-down while others are bottom - up. In most cases these reforms may not be given a chance to develop to show their impact. Future success of agricultural extension and rural development efforts in Uganda will depend not only on the presence of technical expertise and availability of resources but also on each government's willingness to redefine the role of its institutions and to allow the active participation of rural people in formulating and implementing and agricultural extension and rural development programs. As result the public extension systems in Uganda needs to be demand-driven so to make it relevant and important to the beneficiary.

이 연구는 우간다 농촌지도사업의 발전과정을 조망하고 발전방안을 제시하는 것이다. 우간다에서 농촌지도사업에 대한 많은 접근방법이 사용되었지만, 농업생산성이나 수익성 향상에 도움이 되었다는 선행연구 결과는 없는 실정이다. 그 동안 너무 많은 농촌지도사업에 대한 개혁사업이 이루어졌지만, 부분적으로 상향식 접근방법도 있었지만, 대부분의 접근방법은 하향식 접근방법이었다. 많은 사례에서 농촌지도사업에 대한 이러한 개혁은 농업생산이나 수익성에 영향을 줄 정도로 발전될 수 있는 기회가 주어지지 않았다. 향후 성공적인 농촌지도사업과 농촌개발이 이루어지기 위해서는 기술적인 전문가와 자원의 유용성 증가 뿐만 아니라, 농촌지도사업과 농촌개발 프로그램을 기획하고 수행할 때의 농촌지도사업의 제도적인 역할정립에 대한 정부의 의지와 지역주민의 적극적인 참여가 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다. 그리고 우간다에서 공공 농촌지도사업은 수요자에 필요한 적절한 지도사업이 이루어지도록 수요자중심의 농촌지도사업이 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다.
