- Identify what specific behaviours & bottlenecks are leading to or constraining the adoption/ non-adoption outcomes & examine their implications for extension, agro-input provision & agricultural service deliver;
- Develop, test and evaluate programme interventions on extension, input provision and service delivery that incorporate behavioural insight;
- Strengthen organisational & institutional (partnership) capacity to improve the impact of farming innovations in the EGP.
