Forestry extension as a discipline can contribute to agricultural and agroforestry extension programmes, extension services of private industry, government and non-government organisations; farmers organisations; wildlife and parks services, among ot hers. The paper discusses the challenges and opportunities to forest extension from the changing economic environment, institutional reforms, and the international processes in sustainable forest management. It concludes that forestry extension requires to be demand driven; pluralistic in nature (allow for the participation of a multiplicity of service providers);focus on capacity building of farmers organisations in accessing technology and information; contribute to the development of benefit sharing mechanisms and access to markets. The paper provides examples of extension partnership models between farmers, between farmers and the private sector, and between service providers in the forest sector currently being supported FAO. Strong synergistic and iterative relationship with research along the research-development continuum is emphasised. -
