1. Introduction
The Agricultural Extension and Communication (AEC) is one of the research directorates under the
Ethiopian Institute of Agriculture Research (EIAR). The directorate is in charge of dissemination and
technology transfer activities generated by crop, livestock, and natural resource management and
mechanization research programs. New technology transfer accompanied by training of the different
technology end users. To this end, AEC follows different extension research approaches that include front-
line demonstration on farmers’ fields, scaling up/out of improved technologies and practices through
cluster approaches, gender and youth empowerment and information dissemination through different
communication media and generate empirical evidences about interventions for policy plan and practices.

Accordingly, for 2014 E.C production season 35 new and 64 ongoing research activities have been planned
on 28 different commodities to be implemented across 17 agricultural research centres. By specific
intervention purpose there are 3 sub programs. These are:-

 47 activities under pre-Extension technology demonstrations sub program ;

 48 activities under Cluster based large scale production demonstrations sub program
 4 activities under extension research sub program

This research directory presents summary status of each research activity across the implementing centres
ongoing and new research activities as indicated in table 1 Below.
