- Statement
- Between April and May 2019 15 focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted across five Extension Planning Areas (EPAs); 10 FGDs with farmers and 5 FGDs with Agricultural Extension Development Officers (AEDOs). The farmers involved in the FGD were selected by the AEDOs and included both male and female farmers (and amongst which one or more than one was the lead farmer i.e., farmer representative). In total, 70 female farmers and 48 male farmers, and 21 AEDOs participated in the FGDs. The age of male farmer and female farmer participants ranged from 28–58 to 20–54, respectively. The FGDs were conducted in the local language Chichewa, facilitated by a local research assistant who audio recorded, translated and transcribed the discussions.
