Abstract:
Training effectiveness study was conducted in North Gondar Zonein 2013. The purpose of the study was to determine the
effectiveness of different technology-based trainings provided to rural farmers on the basis of indicator outcomes (knowledge, skill, confidence
and commitment). The finding of this study revealed that the level of awareness, knowledge, and skills of participating farmers have improved
on various technical subjects. Although technical effectiveness of trainings is better in terms of knowledge improvement and job performance
and average in confidence and skill improvement, there is an urgent need for skill development of farmers who are looking for alternative
improvement options in the quality of training. Recommendations include need based hands-on training and establishing functional farmers
training centres.
