INFORMATIONAL FEEDBACK IN AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

A flow of rapid, accurate, and relevant informational feedback from village level agricultural projects to regional or area level program administrators needs to be maintained if such programs are to be as effective as possible.

THURSTON, ROBERT V. · 1970

Abstract

Program administrators require timely and reliable information in order to (1) expedite and coordinate the execution of project, (2) adapt projects to local conditions and changing circumstances, and (3) evaluate project performance. The primary objective of this study, then, was to develop a conceptual framework for analyzing the major issues and dimensions inherent in the feedback process.
