During the period 2013-2019, the Agricultural Extension in South Asia (AESA) Network has served as a platform for collating the voices, insights, concerns, and experiences of people in the extension sphere of South Asia.

Together, all of these individuals who are involved, interested and passionate about EAS, discussed ways to move beyond some of the seemingly intransigent problems that are hindering the professionalization of EAS.
L'innovation est souvent présentée comme l'un des principaux leviers pour promouvoir un développement plus durable et plus inclusif. Dans les domaines de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation, l'innovation est marquée par des spécificités liées à sa relation à la nature, mais aussi à la grande diversité d'acteurs concernés, depuis les agriculteurs jusqu'aux consommateurs, en passant par les services de recherche et de développement.
The multi-stakeholders Assessment Form is a tool to enable the different actors creating a partnership to ask systematic questions to a potential partner to ensure a good fit with the goal, vision and needs of the partnership. This tool can be used at the development/ starting point phase of the partnership to explore a potential relationship.
The goal of this tool is to help facilitators examine the roles that women and men play in an innovation partnership and to better integrate their specific needs and priorities in the interventions planned for the innovation partnership. Gender analysis of the innovation partnership can also be done throughout project implementation to monitor how men and women are integrated and benefit from the project and to reduce the gender gaps.
