The Neuchâtel Initiative
Developing Common Views on Agricultural and Rural Extension



What is the Neuchatel Initiative?

  • At the annual meeting 2007 in Montpellier, the NI affiliates have decided to view the NI no longer as a donor consultation platform, but redefine it as a competence network of rural advisory services specialists.
  • At the annual meeting 2009 in Assisi (Italy), the NI affiliates validated the need and their determination for creating Global Forum on Rural Advisory Services that provides leadership and advocacy to stimulate the latent potential that agricultural advisory services has to address the global challenges of poverty and food insecurity.


Purpose of the Neuchatel Initiative?

  • Exchange of experiences and views
  • Joint reflection
  • Development of common understanding on current issues around rural extension.


Objective of the Neuchatel Initiative website?

  • Providing a forum to share the results of these processes with a wider audience in the international development community.
