This presentation therefore shares decades of acquired knowledge, around the globe, on how to improve quality impact for farmers/stakeholders capacity development purposes using “farmers helping the farmers” model approach. Challenges of training audio visuals to impact farmers learning; as well as benefits of creating video/audio contents in farmers own languages are discussed. Opportunities for improving agricultural extension outreach research impact and collaboration with the international community through the Committee Linking Entrepreneurship-Agriculture-Development (COLEAD) and Access Agriculture None Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are highlighted.
