Replication Data for: Effectiveness of Grassroots Organisations in the Dissemination of Agroforestry Innovations.

The aim of the study was to determine the performance of relay organisations involved in agroforestry innovations. Four ICRAF staff members were interviewed as resource persons to inventory agroforestry innovations developed with ROs and to identify criteria for selection and evaluation of ROs. The second category of respondents was composed of leaders of the 8 ROs selected for this study. Information collected at this level included general information about the ROs, their human, financial and material resources and their involvement in the participatory development of agroforestry innovations. Semi-structured interviews were then held with the leaders of 27 farmer groups in order to identify innovations received at group level, dissemination approaches used by the ROs and group achievements in terms of agroforestry. At the level of individual farmers, 76 group members (35 women) and 7 farmers (all male) who stopped collaboration with the ROs were interviewed to record which of the agroforestry innovations they had adopted and whether they were satisfied with the support given by the ROs.

本研究旨在评估参与农林业（agroforestry）创新工作的联动机构（relay organisations）的运行绩效。研究首先邀请4名国际农林业研究中心（ICRAF）职员作为咨询专家，对与联动机构（ROs）联合研发的农林业创新成果进行盘点，并明确联动机构的遴选与评价标准。第二类受访对象为本研究选定的8家联动机构的负责人，此环节采集的信息涵盖联动机构的基本概况、人力、财力与物力资源配置，以及其参与农林业创新参与式开发的相关情况。随后，研究人员对27个农户群体的负责人开展半结构化访谈，以明确该群体所接收的农林业创新成果、联动机构采用的推广方式，以及农户群体在农林业领域取得的实践成效。在个体农户层面，研究人员对76名农户群体成员（其中女性35名）以及7名已终止与联动机构合作的男性农户进行访谈，记录其采纳的农林业创新成果情况，以及对联动机构所提供支持的满意度评价。
