Burton Swanson

In 2008, Swanson developed an eLearning Course on Agricultural Extension (five modules) for the Agricultural and Rural Development (ARD) Department of the World Bank. This internal course helped World Bank staff members identify key constraints within national agricultural extension systems, so they can design, supervise and evaluate projects that will address key policy issues and resource constraints that will improve system performance with the goal of increasing farm household income and improving rural livelihoods.
