This study from Uganda finds that program phaseout does not diminish demand for improved seeds, as farmers shift purchases from NGO-sponsored village supply networks to market sources, indicating persistent learning effects.
This study provides experimental tests of the effects of program phase-out in the context of a large-scale agricultural input subsidy and extension program operated by the NGO BRAC to increase the use of improved seed varieties and basic farming practices among women smallholders in Uganda.
This presentation took place at George Washington University, United States on November 6, 2014 describing the adoption of improved seeds in Uganda and Senegal using index insurance.
